Why not engage with one of the people who have already started on this topic? Because it would be a really bad look to try to debate their comments, so you chose the one that was more generalized and therefore easier to Just Ask Questions?
Which comments? I don't see any that are more appropriate to respond to.
My understanding was that the position of this site is that consensual sex work should be considered no different to any other form of labor, and that this is the stance sex workers usually take. Is that not the case? I guess the added misogyny impacts things? I'm genuinely just asking for clarification, it's not a topic I'm particularly clued into.
What's more likely, the average hexbear user is a bigot or that this shit is exploitative, gross, and wrong? All the highest voted comments on this post are expressing the same general sentiment.
I won't be replying in this thread any further, call me whatever names you want
I get where you're coming from, and this had always been my kneejerk take too, but I've been told that this was incorrect in the past so now I'm just confused.
I should probably just going looking for real lit I guess?
Partly it comes from the weird and oversimplified "sex work" label. That label contains such a wide variety of fundamentally different things that you could have ten conversations about it while never referring to anything that's even remotely comparable to anything in a previous conversation.
Anyway, the point I'm getting at basically boils down to what someone already said in another reply to you. "Sex work" is obviously fundamentally different from other kinds of work, and all you have to do to demonstrate that is ask why it would be wrong for a 16 year old to do it.
