I think it's odd to draw a distinction between "genuine reasons" and "due to an agenda".

I'm anti-porn primarily because of the harm to women and girls. The pornography industry is built upon misogyny and abuse. There is a huge predatory aspect to it, with many of the performers being trafficked or otherwise coerced. It encourages its consumers to view women as subhuman sex objects to be degraded, abused and tortured.

Perhaps this could be considered a feminist agenda, but I consider these to be genuine concerns.

Yes, it is actually a thing:

Not every pornographic video is non-consensual or necessarily involves exploitation, but the reality is that there is no way for the average consumer of pornography to know which is which.

Radical feminists are the counterculture here. They're fighting against both the prevailing male-dominated liberal and conservative cultures, on so many fronts, including this. Particularly this, right now, as a matter of urgency, before women are erased and replaced in law and policy.

Their messaging is grassroots - stickering, small-scale protests bringing together a network of like-minded women. They exist on the fringes of the internet, corralled off into their own online spaces after being forcibly removed from the mainstream.
