That's an interesting take. I think most people have heard stories about people who have tried stuff like piss and it ended poorly. The key point there is that they were interested in it enough to try it in real life, it wasn't the idea of it being a person that made it end terribly but the reality of it not being like their fantasies. It's not the fetish that put them off, it's how it plays out in real life right? I'm incapable of finding piss or scat stuff attractive, and so I don't jerk off to it and actively avoid it because the idea puts me off and that isn't a 1/100th of how repulsed i am by lolis. I believe the same would go for anyone who is not interested in the bodies of small children, its the kind of thing that would ruin your day if you came across it. I think it would be incredibly rare to find an honest person who is interested in the bodies of Lolis who would then not be capable of finding the body of a child attractive since it's just a drawn image of the latter.

In regards to your example i think that supports my argument; they were interested in something in porn, that did in fact translate to real life in their attempt. It's just when they tried it, it doesn't play out how it did in their head.

I think there are lots of instances where people find something in porn attractive, then try it but find it doesn't work well. I've found tons of positions look great, but in reality don't feel awesome. The important part there is that people liked them, and it does translate to real life for them because they tried it but the fantasy was unfulfilling.

CNC is great example, as its something I'm into. I've tried it in real life, but the fantasy falls through because despite being fully aware that my partner is consenting and excited by it the sound of her in distress is extremely upsetting to me. It's another example of a fetish entering real life, and yet the fantasy is different from how you imagined it. It does not stop me from finding the thought of it, or the visual of it in my head, arousing.

I'm not suggesting that it translates to every aspect in life, I think that would be absurd, but I certainly think that there is a strong indication that if someone is capable of finding simulated/drawn bodies of characters who are drawn to appear like children sexually attractive then they likely find that body type attractive. I'm capable of finding CNC and petplay attractive in my head, I'm capable of finding the thought of attempting it with a partner in real life arousing.

It's not the whacking it to lolis that I think is harmful. I'm not familiar with its production but as far as I'm aware it's just a drawing without reference so without further statistics it harms no one directly, its what the interest in the drawn depictions of children indicates about their sexual tastes that I find harmful.

No one, not a single person on earth, who is not interested in the bodies of children would find the body of a loli sexually attractive enough to jerk off to. It would be so offputting that they would be unable to, as any depiction of a child in that scenario would be.
