This is the article people on lemmygrad usually throw around for this topic.
I dont see how this article backs up CountryBreakfast's point at all. It doesn't implicate sex workers as being implict in the system that takes advantage of them. It also makes a point of making it clear that they're only talking about "prostitution" and not other forms of sex work (OnlyFans, which is being discussed here).
I didnt read the whole thing in detail, but the tl;dr at the end, the main points, I find nothing to disagree with there. And I feel like most hexbears agree with whats there. But it doesnt back up what CountryBreakfast was saying.
People on this instance tend to rail against the sex trade as a whole pretty hard. You'll sometimes see people get so caught up in hating johns and pimps that they'll disregard the perspective of sex workers.
Yeah therein lies my problem. Glad you can see it though.
