Are you implying that the restriction is right, because of the content, even how disgusting as it may be? I don't think drawings should be censored, and I see no basis behind censoring them.

I think that it is a relevant factor for people to consider to make a view on whether the policy is correct or not.

It's worth viewing in the larger context though - it shows that the legislature has no problem censoring things, even possession of certain things, without evidence. In my opinion that sets a rather big precedent, whether you disagree with the specific content in this instance or not.
In terms of the principle, the actual content shouldn't matter in the slightest.
These would be drawings of child pornography, just to clarify.
