So was slavery, shall we venture into those waters?
(Yes I am aware of the sex trafficking rings were people are abducted into them, but that is not the focus of this topic before you try to twist it to that.)
Porn Stars for example, there's a lot of them that love what they do -love- it. In some circles they even hold celebrity status. Are you telling me you look down on them and you've never watched porn (I'm calling you a liar right now if you try to deny ever having watched any.)
What harm are they causing? I bet you damn well appreciated they made those films at the time you used them.
I think an issue with bringing up Porn Stars is that they are doing their work legally and are doing it with a sense of self-respect, whereas Prostitution is illegal by modern standards and nowhere in the same league, since those pornographers aren't subjecting themselves to abuse, junkies, criminals, whatever it is to get by in their profession.Â
It's kind of like comparing drug dealers to Medicinal Marijuana vendors. There's a clear line behind what's morally acceptable and what isn't. As a culture, we're often blinded to the hardships that those in those situations face, so in no way should they be seen as lesser people for it. However, it's kind of absurd to compare them by the same standards of relatively safer and widely accepted alternatives in regards to morales.
