First, apologies for the Godwin.
The scenario in the original post reminds me of how all Nazi imagery is banned in Germany now. The Nazi regime, so twisted and horrific, is something that the vast majority of modern society wants no part of. (I note, of course, that there are some exceptions) In Germany, this distaste is made part of their legal and moral code.
Now, simply looking at a swastica doesn't automatically make you anti-semitic. Reading about the Holocaust doesn't automatically make you want to build concentration camps. Studying Mein Kampf doesn't automatically make you grow a toothbrush moustache and extend your arm in salute.
However, Germany's determination to have no part further connection with the Nazi atrocities means they cut off all things Nazi. So drawing a swastika in public will get you thrown in jail, or at least the disapproval of lots of people. Take no chances, if you will.
Similarly, the abuse of children is seen as twisted and horrific. So taking, distributing and viewing pictures of child abuse is similarly avoided. People take no chances in coming into contact with anything associated with child abuse.
So is viewing child pornography inherently wrong? I don't think so. But due to its indelible association with child abuse, people will always react negatively to child porn.
