Casual ableism, from the pedo apologist, classy.
Wanting to fuck fictional kids is still the same root impulse as wanting to fuck kids, and feeding it rather than getting therapy can drive people with pedophilic urges deeper into behaviors that harm themselves and others, like paying for actual CSAM of real kids, and thus financially backing the abuser of those kids, or of attempting an impulsive act of predation, or normalizing the thought of doing something creepy to kids they have proximity to through family.
Genius, most pedos don't have Epstein Money, they're Uncle Touchy-Feely or Incest Dad, and those guys set themselves on a mental downward spiral through a similar method of Escalation to someone being politically radicalized down a pipeline of progressively more heinous shit.
Is a cartoon sexualizing kids the most drastic or most vile stage in that process? No, but it's gross enough, and enough of a danger, while lacking any value whatsoever, that maybe a little bit of social stigma is merited. I'm not saying to shoot the author or lock up their customers, I'm saying you should be told how skeezy you are and forced to sit in that.
