To put it in your terms: they’re trying to drive away some creeps that might scare advertisers.

This makes sense.

Regarding porn: advertisers hate it but it's a low-hanging fruit to attract users. r/GoneWild is now reposting on Mastodon and r/hentai joined the protests; odds are that the platform knows that they won't hang around for too long.
