Okay here's a question
Do smut artists count as sex workers?
I feel like they do but idk
Follow
@coriander my take as someone who writes smut is that everything which hurts sex workers also hurts smut artists, so from a standpoint of political bonds forged through solidarity, yes
but some people get weird about it
@coriander well i think on the smut artists side there's a desire to distance themselves from sex work because our society generally doesn't appreciate sex work etc
and because it's a lot easier to be anonymous making smut that doesn't involve real people it does create a tension even though the consequences if you are deanonymized are largely the same
@Lady makes a lot of sense
@Lady Yeah that makes a lot of sense
I do wonder why people get weird about it tho
