      There was one person the Knowledge Fight guys did a break episode on who wanted to make porn illegal. After getting pretty far into the episode Dan finally reveals what he eventually found out after the guy mentions people having legal issues:

      His son got caught with (already illegal) child porn, and it hurt his sons career options. So this man’s idea is to ban all porn… despite the reason for his tirade being already illegal. He just wants to harm everyone else too, lashing out.

        He probably thinks regular porn is a “gateway drug” to more extreme porn, eventually culminating in what his son was caught with. This isn’t a super uncommon view, and isn’t even limited to weird fundies or even the right. I don’t agree with it personally, but I’ve seen it enough times from people on enough sides that I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s part of that crowd.
