That might work for the softer stuff, but where does that leave producers of hardcore or extreme or fetish content? Still lumped in with the pedos?

No. There has to be a line. A thick, black line, a divider. Between producers of legal pornography and criminals who engage in sexually violent acts on children.

My point is: You, simply by refusing to call it pornography, can affect a small and powerful change in the world. It requires no effort on your part. All it requires is that you make the choice to use a different word.
