    Weird how these people care so much about women in porn being exploited but don’t seem to care about the ones just being trafficked for sex that isn’t filmed. Or child labor. Or the various migrants being trafficked and enslaved for non-secual labor around the world.

    It’s almost like they’re grasping for socially-acceptable justification for hating something they don’t like for non-socially-acceptable reasons…

      What you’re doing is called ‘whataboutism’. Just because someone voiced an opinion about X doesn’t mean they don’t care about Y or Z.

        Right, but the sudden onrush of “”““concern””“” from a community who’s rhetoric regarding women has been toxic in the past feels phony. You’d have a solid point in a formal debate but this isn’t that. This is the real world where context matters and a community’s prevailing attitudes are fair game for evaluating whether or not their arguments are made in good faith.

        It’s also a group think variant of a straw man fallacy. To attempt to refute an individual’s argument by arguing against group A’s opinion(s) instead of actually addressing the individual or their specific argument.

      Yeah you got me, my comment was 100% in defence of human trafficking as long as it isn’t being filmed. And… child labour? What kind of response is this?
