I think the more interesting question is - who, exactly watches this stuff and why?
As for who does it and why they do, the answer is easy. Whenever there is a need for something and an opportunity to make money, someone will, sooner rather than later, fill the vacuum. It's the same with performers, and each of them makes his or her own calculus of risk, harm, pain, ego, etc. and compares it with the presumed gain, money, fame, attention, etc. and makes a decision. All those decisions are personal to the people involved, but there will always be somebody who is willing to do just about anything.
If anybody has demographics about the target audiences of hard/weird/strange/ultrarough/deviant or interracial porn, they keep the numbers to themselves. But I've got a hunch that these same people would be anxious to see King Kong or his closest and most massive relative from the zoo impale Faye Ray or any modern-day equivalent of a tiny, petite, helpless female. Because those things are pretty tough to film and distribute on the Internet, they seek out the material that brings them closest to that experience. Hard porn performs a valuable service to society at large. It takes an enormous amount of rage and hostility and insecurity towards women and safely deposits it at the bottom of a trash can when the experience is over. And that's why sexual assault rates keep dropping in step with broadband internet access.
