the problem is, when it's illegal, and you get caught, you'll face the consequences.

Or if you did something else wrong. VPN installed to look at porn? Well, now you did two things wrong, you must be a super special bad person. More prison time for you.

The people behind it don't care in the slightest that you watch porn. They care to have something in hand against you in case you're falling out of line

With the current law, I thought the onus was on the websites to verify user's ages. Not technically banning porn, but effectively making the big names drop support. Are there any US states where porn viewing itself is criminalized?
