(53,154 posts)This choice argument is bullshit. How many times do you all have to be told that slave labor is common in brutal porn? Or do you simply not care? What about the choice of the women raped after some men who watch that porn decide they want to do the real thing?
What about the choice of Walmart workers to go hungry this Thanksgiving? They could choose to make a decent wage but don't? Do workers rights ever matter? Or is that a separate issue because male desire to arouse themselves to videos of women being beaten, raped, and mutilated trumps all consideration of workers rights?
What about the choice of employers to skirt minimum wage laws, keep unsafe workplaces, and sell products that result in death? Clearly they see their own choices as important while the workers can choose to take the job or starve, just like the porn actress. If she is actually does consent to the work, she chooses to be beaten regularly, fed drugs, and occur STDs. So what if she dies at 35? That's her choice.
The only choice defenders of rape porn care about is their own.
