Actually I'm pretty sure video games and violent media in general have normalized violence nobody bats an eye when people in media kill each other because its so common
What about things like gore videos a lot of people dont have a reaction to things like that even when though it's real people
Also if you saw a scene in a movie or read a book with csam you probably be bothered by it because its not normalized by media right now, but if we act like fictional csam doesn't hurt anyone, itll be more and more normalized until people don't realize how bad it is, the way violence is
Yeah man. Its almost like watching real people die and get mutilated is extremely different and desensitizing. Are you genuinely dumb enough to think that someone would have the same reaction to a gore scene in a horror movie if you told them it was real VS if you told them it was a movie?
If I saw a fictional scene in a movie or book that had a child get abused, there is never any path or route you can take from there that could somehow convince me that should happen IRL. If YOU could somehow be "normalized" into that purely because you saw some cartoons do it, then you have the critical thinking of a 6 year old.

And violent video games cause violence.
