IMO, if it is a suitable replacement that pedophiles can use to get a "release" without harming children, I wouldn't want it banned.
I'm indifferent to that as much as I'm indifferent to rape porn simulating rape acts that are, of course, not really happening and consented by participants. However, it is necessary to be careful with the argument of releasing libido because in some cases, content might lead viewers to search for hardcore content until they reach a point they have to do it in real life. I'm not saying this is the case for most people, but it can happen.
Aside, some people will not feel satisfied by animated images, they will want something more realistic and believable, and can eventually stumble upon real CP.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
