In my comment I’m stating that I think (again, not an expert) that it would grow the market and ultimately increase child abuse.

Secondly on the subject of legality, of course it will depend on your country, but I believe in most places there is no distinction, at least currently, between ‘simulated’ CSAM and CSAM that directly involves the exploitation of minors. If you put a thought to paper, it’s not a thought anymore.

I think that the attraction should more or less be socially acceptable. For a lot of people it cannot be helped. People need to be able to ask for help and receive support for what I imagine is an extremely tough thing to deal with. I do not think in the slightest that CSAM in any form, including simulated (for which hand drawn would also fit here), should be remotely socially acceptable.
