The issue you all forget about is that one little word.
Consent.
The images are made up fakes so there is no one to consent. I wish i could find that damn news report with the paedophile who said he'd abandoned his collection of real porn in favour of this stuff. That to me speaks volumes, if only a handful of them stop it maybe we can help a handful of abuse victims. The ones who like the real thing will get it anyway, the ones who want this stuff instead may find it harder to get if illegal and will turn to the real thing instead.

You say it will stop at comics. Interpol and other research says it doesn't in many cases.
Many cases yes, but not all and if we can stop the small minority from viewing the real thing i would hail it as a success.

An adult who dreams and drools over having sex with a child has a power issue / control issue in their lives.
Yes and no, whlst some seem to have the same mentality as a rapist, others come more under the heading of necrophiles, wanting an unresisting partner. Others fall under the heading of retarded sexual development, there are many boxes for these individuals, none of them good but don't lump them all together as one as it does an injustice to the research adn won't help solve the issue.

Add to this that groups of paedophiles are highly cunning, dangerous manipulative people who seek each other out, and you really see them for what they are.
The predatory kind yes, are horrific people, highly cunning. Just look at the recent case in england with what the police called the worst porn they had ever seen. Some of it included babies for gods sake. That man had a secret compartment in his jacket for a USB stick so if he was frisked in a cyber cafe he'd be clean. The fact he was using cyber cafes also shows a carefully planned and motivated individual, highly devious, like your advanced serial killer. Not much difference in my eyes.

A danger to all and every child, no matter where they started out on the slope from, be it your 'comic' porn or other downloaded materials.
Well that's where we disagree, there are paedophiles who control their urges according ot studies, they have the porn to help that. Whist this is absolutely disgusting and abhorrent to all on this thread (i hope) it does show some are capable of controlling it. As long as they never touch a child or view the real porn then we can't lock them up for thought crime. If that were the case you could lock up most of the population as all of us will have violent thoughts for example sometimes.
That's why we have a filter in our brains that controls actions against thoughts.
