I think it's probably the opposite -- the person in question runs services for 4chan and other "edgy" groups, with servers he runs being used to send violent threats to several schools; if tor, for instance, is only known for piracy, dumb threats, and other unsavory content, it's going to turn people away.

Cock.li also has a large number of legitimate users. You should not disregard the whole service because of a few people missusing it.
