The issue is that it made softcore child porn to transmit the message that child sexualization is bad.
It would be like me making a movie to spread the message that "killing puppies is bad" by collecting hundreds of puppies from shelters and killing them on camera.
That's because the whole point was to film child erotica using "we're criticizing childhood sexualization actually!" as a cover story.
This is the oldest trick in the book. Back in the day when violent movies got criticism from different corners of society, a lot of directors would put anti-violence messages in their over the top violent films, I guess so audience members would go "hmmm that really makes me think" after watching someone getting their nuts blown off in Hobo Exterminator II.
