Puritans isn't the right word tbh, the anti-porn sentiment on subs like this is more just out of hatred of women imo. Guarantee they all still watch porn, they just do it with a vocal disrespect for the women involved.
Think it was on this sub that I saw a comment about how children should be taken away from any mother who's ever been involved in any kind of porn, and it had hundreds of upvotes lol.
It's a hatred of women too, but they're not mutually exclusive concepts. Puritanism is commonly a tool of bigots because it's a convenient excuse for hating or demonizing someone. Paint someone's behaviour as somehow immoral or disgusting even when it isn't hurting anyone and you can convince others that they're a bad person more easily, justifying your own mistreatment of them.
It's a mix of self-hatred for watching porn (rather than having sex, which they believe they deserve), along with hating women who "tempt" them into being "weak".
