like dude if you can’t understand the difference between actual sex workers’ content and amateur people putting up free shit for funsies I’m kind of concerned what kind of porn you’ve been watching
one is made by someone whose income depends on producing quality content, factors like lighting, filming process, editing, and marketing go into the success. if someone’s doing it for free just to be #edgy their porn is going to be shit because they don’t depend on it being quality they just want to post a video of them fucking themselves for free. this isn’t even an argument. you get what you pay for (or rather, don’t)

this reminds me of that ask where someone was like “I put up nudes on tumblr, just for fun lol AM I A SEX WORKER??”

also “I do pole dancing BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT A STRIPPER I RESPECT MYSELF but I face whorephobia :(”
@ civilians: STOPPPPPPPP

That said: respect sex workers who do amature looking content, they may still be learning, or hey, that “rough around the edges” quality may be part of their business model.  Like a sex worker’s deserving to be treated like a human being does not depend on how “quality” the content you think their content is.

Like this rubs me the wrong way a little bit because I feel like it’s really easy to use this to perpetuate lateral whorephobia/demean workers who aren’t “up to snuff” in terms of the content they create

I’m talking about people who aren’t sex workers who do it for free.

Yes, but by implying that non-pro looking lighting and similar is “shit” you’re throwing other sex workers under the bus.  Like hobbyists suck because of how they fetishize, dehumanize and generally treat sex workers like shit, but that’s got nothing to do with how they light their shots
