Ethically speaking, of course it is.You are getting pleasure off an animation of a very young boy and/or girl.Though if you go by law, I odnt think there are any restrictions(that I know of).And in my opinion, there are certain lines that you shoudlnt cross.Sexual implications im fine with, like many animes have, but actual depiction of sexual act or imagery I find it wrong.You may say that its only fiction, and its better this than real children, but that can be a doorway for trying the real thing, much like an drug addict usually start with weak drugs, like weed, and goes to stronger ones in search of a stronger reaction.

And imagination can open similar doorways for trying the real thing, lots of things do.

I don't think VR can push closted pedophiles to want to cross the line and do the real thing.

It's already established that pornography addicts have less with real humans thanks to porn. Who is to say VR won't have similar effects on everyone, including closeted pedophiles? 

I am not necessarily convinced with what I am saying, just playing the devil's advocate.

Well, you do have a point.But I still find it wrong to do anyways.We have morals for a reason, and even if maybe it has like a 5% chance of doing some good, I think we should sit this one out, because its too morbid.There is a good reason why some things are seen as bad, even though they are not straight out prohibited.
