As such a few anarchists oppose and work to abolish this industry. This doesn't imply that all anarchist are “anti-porn”, in reality the movement does not have a single view of the role of pornography in the free society.

Counterargument to that would be that the described is the characteristic of the current culture and not of pornography as the whole.
