Yes but the comparison is valid. Doesn't matter how badly child pornography should be illegal. The argument most people would have for virtually killing people is: It's not real. As bad as the content may be, the same goes for a virtual child pornography movie. Fact remains that it's not real and that it does not hurt anyone directly (maybe even indirectly).
No the comparison is not valid in the slightest. Getting your jollies off a virtual child is nothing like having fun by shooting Peter in the face via CoD4.

I must say though, the laws behind child pornography are there to stop children being exploited, and if people ARE attracted to children I'd much rather they get off to pretend ones than real ones.
