You make a good point, as the new bank would not have the prior relationship or understanding, and simply see you as a red flag on their radar. From that point, they basically make a judgement call based on whatever available information or their (new bank) policies.

However, as was my original point, there is typically more involved than a bank just cutting people off thinking they are a porn company. You do not hear about Vivid, C4S, CCBill or alike losing their accounts despite a little research could show their adult associations on a fairly large scale.
