Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
Wait so should we try to help victims and minimize harm to sex workers, or blame them and call them whores? I'm skeptical that a writer comparing a real problem like sex trafficking to a fake non-existent problem like snuff films really cares about harm reduction more than moralism. Yes, we should address immigration restrictions used as a means of coercion, primarily through liberalization and amnesty rather than restriction, but we also should criminally pursue traffickers and pimps even if we legalize or decriminalize sex work. We should also tell bible thumpers and people like the writer in the OP to gently caress off.

I don't even think one can ideologically say a particular legal model is best because this is a pragmatic problem that requires a situational approach to attain the beat outcomes for sex workers and other migrants facing coercion. Of course in reality few people care about them because they aren't a constituency, and they are additionally otherized, dehumanized, and condemned.
