Also I just gotta say as a gay dude that I didn't totally see what the moral outrage was over porn and then I saw what the straight people are doing and Jesus Christ it's fucked up. I'm never shocked now when I hear a former performer complain about a lack of safety, respect, or consent on set. Gay stuff has its massive problems too but holy fuck it's like a sexual assault factory on the straight side.
Seeing sex work as something specifically exploitative and debasing is deeply middle class. People participating in that industry may see it as no more exploitative than alternative jobs available to them. But to the middle-class spirit sexual honour is some higher virtue and infringing upon it is the greatest shame imaginable.
Not to detract from the righteous anger against an exploitative industry. Just trying to bring attention to an ideological angle which inevitable influences discussion of the sex industry.
