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 sex 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.

Yeah, just like video game violence leads to real life violence! Stay safe, kids! Don't try those dangerous things, they will ruin your lives. Or something. Maybe not at all.

"I don't think VR can push closted pedophiles to want to cross the line and do the real thing." Me neither. I would never personally support something like that, but I have no issue with things people do in private as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

It is a difficult thing though, when technology moves much faster than laws and moral/ethical discussions. There could be some pretty advanced and realistic rape simulators in the future, and we might need to have a proper discussion about that when it happens. Right now however, I don't see any need for bans or restrictions.
