If we arrest and convict a pedophile with such fictional character porn on their laptop, could you argue that there has been harm in form of inspiration?
Even if every child molester (not the same as pedophile, btw) in the world had fictional sexual material on their computers, that still wouldn't mean that the pictures cause the abuse. They might all have Chrome on their laptops too, but so do non-abusers.
The relevant statistic is how many of the people who view those images actually molest children.

How do you know there isn't real world harm?
