I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

I think there are no worst offenders here, all labor is valid as in all labor is exploitative in a capitalist system

Dignity is very relative here, I think you can be a sex worker and keep your dignity

    There is no difference in work quality between painting and coal mining? Teaching children and soldering diodes? Really?

    Again, I'm not talking about the exceptions here. Having to sell yourself for money is a horrible fate to most, to the extent that we make laws against that. You can think of this the same way.

    I've met more people who are proud sex workers then I have people who are proud fast food employees.

    I think that perhaps you are letting your disgust for a person's work color how you feel about the person. Do you feel the same about athletes and actors? They also "sell their bodies".

    As I said above, the people being forced to sell their dignity are the victims, and need help and rehabilitation. My hatred and disgust are reserved exclusively for those who exploit them, and the economic and social system which enables such behaviour.

    Having to sell yourself for money is what most people do every day, bruh. Every job I've ever had has been a major detriment to my physical and/or mental health, and was accepted only under threat of homelessness and starvation.
