It's dangerous.
Most anime fans clearly distinguish fiction from reality though. Attributing criminal intent to them is a stretch.
The content itself reinforces desires towards minors and adult-child dynamics get portrayed as permissible when they are not.
Anime viewers are not criminals, policing fiction crosses a line into restricting free expression.
Free speech has limits, child sexualization contributes to harm. Most anime may be innocent but regulators should still address the worst
Regulating art risks censorship abuse. What some see as inappropriate, others see as artistic freedom. Context matters.

Shielding depictions that sexualize minors potentially enable abuse, don't you agree? I'm all for artistic freedom, though lines must be drawn to protect kids.
