(at least in the HoF, others don't seem as authoritarian) is that the accepted views are often so bizarre they cannot stand up to earnest debate. Hence they must rely on censorship. The claim that all porn is rape (with fundamentalists as their main source of info) is not a claim that would do well if subject to honest debate.

Here views don't seem to be neither A) monolithic nor B) so off the wall that it's impossible to argue rationally in their favor.
