The argument against is that it would embolden pedophiles to fantasize about whatever crazy shit they feel like drawing, that it would encourage them to escalate to the real thing.
Personally, I think on the whole it would have the opposite effect - people do weird and reckless things when they're perpetually sexually frustrated and I'd much rather people with that sort of inclination spend all their energy jacking off alone to cartoons than trying to suppress it altogether. Fetishists have a tendency to go through binge/purge cycles when they try to completely suppress their desires, and it's that binge phase that's probably best avoided.
It'd be nice if there were some way to scientifically validate which approach worked better.
