I could live with this kind of thing being classified as a misdemeanor provided the creator didn’t use underage subjects to train or influence the output.

So could I, but that doesn't make it just. It should only be a crime if someone is actually harmed, or intended to be harmed.

Creating a work about a fictitious individual shouldn't be illegal, regardless of how distasteful the work is.
