I think the best way to understand 'what justification' is to understand a certain sort of POV pushing... one of the goals of pedophiles is to make the case that such materials are perfectly normal and healthy and should be viewed as being completely routine.

Hi Jimbo, A couple of people have taken exception to your references to paedophiles in this debate, and I'd like to join them. Is there any evidence that actual paedophiles were arguing for the inclusion of that image? Or is it just, as you acknowledge, anti-censorship people getting caught up in the argument and crossing the bounds of good taste?
Conflating anti-censorship, anti-prude, anti-common sense, or simply trollish people with paedophiles is unfair at best, and inflammatory and offensive at worst, isn't it?
