I am personally friends with multiple women (and non women) who do sex work (some do porn) instead of other, more mundane jobs that they are fully qualified to do. There are issues with the industry for fucking SURE but lets not pretend that everybody in it is a hostage, as an excuse to belittle those who work in SW.

That rings true for every single job - I mean individual coercion

Even as a trans woman who has (obviously) never had a period in her life, I physically cringed when the person you replied to made that comparison. Holy shit. And while we’re at it, wipe your fucking dick. Courtesy shake doesn’t cut it.

Absolutely but its no reason to “have issues with OnlyFans Models and Porn Stars” yk? I’m fully with you on there being safety concerns

I agree with what you’ve said but I don’t consider these things as caused by the job, rather symptomatic of how the job is treated in society (and how poorly regulated human trafficking for sex work is)

Why do so many people in other jobs die from a drug overdose? Because the world sucks

And thus… Sex work is no different to the others

Womp womp

I feel like I have to do my job to make ends meet - how is that different from sex work? Coercion is a different story

I’m not policing anything I asked you a question

Was using an ableist slur really required to make your point?

I think you missed a zero

So a lot of the data is from clits that were removed from men? I jest.

Why do you jest? This is just a factual statement

Parasites

Just shows how much they don’t understand Disco Elysium. Because the whole time you are playing it you are being shown how bad the police are. Even if you’re playing an absolute saint of a playthrough, your actions prior to that were neglectful at best. Not just your division but the entire police force is in the pocket of the regime. Half the people you interact with don’t trust you, from the get-go. The whole fucking game is screaming ACAB while still allowing you to engage in a wonderfully crafted world that plays on the tropes of a buddy-detective story.

It depends what your standard is for good enough, honestly. If you’re making art for the art, I certainly haven’t seen anything from AI music that seems actually artful, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting my music out into the world that didn’t feel like art to me. If you’re churning out 30 second jingles for advertising or microtransaction-riddled mobile games, maybe then the standard is lower

E: of course, if “good enough” is “enough to make a C suite douchebag give it the okay with dollar signs in their eyes” then yeah.

Edit: to be clear, death threats are WAY too far. Unacceptable

fair Enough

Why did you capitalise “never” and “watch” and not “Spongebob”

Oh for sure! But them saying that 22wpm is “nearly as fast as smartphone users” is what I’m calling out. This is an enormous improvement for the people who it affects!
