Re:Why porn industry comes with a stigma even in the technic... by PaulHoule on Friday April 30, 2021 @07:48AM (#26992206)
There is the belief that some people have that pornography is unethical in and of itself.

Then there is the belief that it is "ok" if the people involved are consenting. Many people also believe there are shades of grey so even though they don't think pornography is good they don't think it should be banned.

For a long time there has been a system to keep performances from under-18s out of online porn, but the "Girls Do Porn" fiasco showed that a lot of porn is produced under false pretenses, which is a moral problem entirely different from pornography itself.

So that's a problem with the industry and I think it's just one form of "bullshit" that you'll experience if you are involved. It's not like being a pot grower who has not recourse if somebody steals their plants, but the industry has a high rate of declined credit cards, pay checks that bounce, and problems like that.

Not that you can't decide you want to put up with it.

> "Girls Do Porn" fiasco

For those of us who are unaware, can you briefly summarize? I'm somewhat averse to googling it.

They told the women that the videos were for the private collection of some rich foreigner before making them publicly available.

Also, sexual assault and human trafficking. Those involved with the organization have either gone to jail or are fugitives at large.
