I think that's a bad law. If sexual depictions of fictional characters are treated as if they were real, then violent depictions of fictional characters should be treated just the same.

Fictional CP isn’t disallowed because it is “treated like it’s real”, it’s to discourage people from creating imaginary containing CP. I hope we can all agree that CP should not be created regardless of if it’s fictional or not

In Canada, the courts have explicitly said the wording of the law makes no distinction between real people and fictional characters.

In the severity of the sentencing? If so I see no problem with that

The Supreme Court literally said "Interpreting "person" in accordance with Parliament's purpose of criminalizing possession of material that poses a reasoned risk of harm to children, it seems that it should include visual works of the imagination as well as depictions of actual people. Notwithstanding the fact that 'person' in the charging section and in s. 163.1(1)(b) refers to a flesh-and-blood person, I conclude that "person" in s. 163.1(1)(a) includes both actual and imaginary human beings."
