Why do people have issues with OnlyFans Models and Porn Stars.

I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them? Replace ‘porn star’ with ‘slave’ and you’ll understand. There might be a section of the population that would like to be a slave, but we have, as a society, decided that people shouldn’t be bought and sold like furniture. Of course, the hatred should be aimed at the economic and social systems that allow people to buy others’ dignity, not at the victims of that system.

Having spoken with a few women that have done things adjacent to pornography, their regrets are mostly in regards to the way they were treated by people that were not in the industry. The escorts I’ve spoken with enjoy the work itself, although not necessarily all of the customers. What you’re saying about the horrors of pornography and prostitution apply to ALL people that need to work for a living. The company I work for buys my time, the product of my labor–which they sell for many times what I’m paid–and even my dignity by forcing me to wear a uniform of their choice. I absolutely do not like the customers that ultimately purchase the products of my labor, but I have little choice if I want to have a place to live, and food to eat.

The escorts I’ve spoken with enjoy the work itself Like I said, I’m sure there are people who enjoy this, but the system is still exploitative and harmful. What you’re saying about the horrors of pornography and prostitution apply to ALL people that need to work for a living … Yes. In an ideal world, people won’t have to do any dangerous or difficult jobs. But for now, we can’t start with the worst offenders.

But for now, we can’t start with the worst offenders. do you believe that all sex work is dangerous or difficult? do you believe that easy & safe but compulsory work as a means to get obtain food and shelter is an ideal world?

do you believe that all sex work is dangerous or difficult? Emotional toll aside, putting yourself at the mercy of a stronger person who has already shown that he does not care about right and wrong, day after day, is very much dangerous. do you believe that easy & safe but compulsory work as a means to get obtain food and shelter is an ideal world? People do enjoy work when it is pleasant and interesting. Should it be compulsory? I don’t know. Rich people who don’t have to do any work often lose touch with the world. So perhaps even in that ideal world where we have amazing robots that can do anything, we should have people do a little bit of some work of their choice. But all this is just speculation. For now, the focus should be on freeing people from the most dangerous and difficult jobs.
