I am personally friends with multiple women (and non women) who do sex work (some do porn) instead of other, more mundane jobs that they are fully qualified to do. There are issues with the industry for fucking SURE but lets not pretend that everybody in it is a hostage, as an excuse to belittle those who work in SW.

That rings true for every single job - I mean individual coercion

Even as a trans woman who has (obviously) never had a period in her life, I physically cringed when the person you replied to made that comparison. Holy shit. And while we’re at it, wipe your fucking dick. Courtesy shake doesn’t cut it.

Absolutely but its no reason to “have issues with OnlyFans Models and Porn Stars” yk? I’m fully with you on there being safety concerns

I agree with what you’ve said but I don’t consider these things as caused by the job, rather symptomatic of how the job is treated in society (and how poorly regulated human trafficking for sex work is)

Why do so many people in other jobs die from a drug overdose? Because the world sucks

And thus… Sex work is no different to the others

Womp womp

I feel like I have to do my job to make ends meet - how is that different from sex work? Coercion is a different story

I’m not policing anything I asked you a question

Was using an ableist slur really required to make your point?

Parasites

It depends on the type of game you’re running and its an expectation that should be set from the beginning (as is “whether a 20 is a critical skill check at all”)

My games tend to be more grounded, so when I have run critical skill checks, they are a success with a reasonable bonus. A critical persuasion check might have the guard believe your phony story but also accidentally let slip some useful info as you’re passing through the gates because he’s let his guard down.

But in a game where the vibe is more out there and power fantasy-y, heck yeah, let your 20s rewrite reality!

Love it when the in-world behaviours are also accounted for by the rule system

fair Enough

Why did you capitalise “never” and “watch” and not “Spongebob”

Oh for sure! But them saying that 22wpm is “nearly as fast as smartphone users” is what I’m calling out. This is an enormous improvement for the people who it affects!

Fair enough! I don’t use autocorrect either, but I guess I don’t have the same problem with my fingers that you’re experiencing.

I just can’t fathom it taking me nearly three seconds to type a word. I’d be surprised if the majority of words take me even one second to type.

Sure but we’re not talking about what’s being typed, rather how fast you can type it.

An awesome development no doubt, but, 22 wpm is ssslllloooow

Edit: to be clear, 22wpm is huge for people who were previously unable to type at all, or with any sort of speed. Just weird to call 22wpm “nearly as fast as smartphone users”. (And I know, they’re using smartphone users of that patticular age group as the metric, but the headline is dishonest by omission in this case)
