"I'm selling MY body! The government has no right to tax that!"

I gotta agree to be honest.

I don't get why porn and prostitution is not considered a "real" job.

You're trading services for money, same as the majority of jobs.

If your religion deems it offensive then that's on you, not the job
---

you're selling your dignity as a human, reducing yourself to a piece of flesh to be used for pleasure. thats why its not considered on even the same level as bagging groceries or flipping burgers
also they dont pay taxes and a lot of them are shit humans

I'll honestly never pay for sex. It's a waste of money.

As opposed to a piece of flesh used for moving boxes or bagging groceries.

Incels out here reporting premium snaps to the IRS too.

I always wondered about this but never cared to think about it much.

Wouldn't streaming for a living/being a cam girl/etc fall under the same category as a home business where you would be required by law to declare earnings? Seems fair enough to me. They've been getting a free ride for a while.

Obviously with street prostitution there is no way to really track that, but there's a hell of an electronic "paper trail" when the same stuff is done online.

Hmm I bet TC is totally unbiased when dealing with police reports from sex workers

I'll counter this with another quote in the topic:

why is there so much overlap between CE and incel communities

Why are you trying to make this about religion? Im not a religious person. Trying to change the subject isnt going to work.

where on earth did you get the idea that streamers don't have to declare their earnings?

There's nothing inherently less dignified about the sex industry unless you're a prude.

Obviously big name ones like Rooster Teeth, Game Grumps, etc.. do. But I doubt many small time independent ones do, especially those with no YouTube presence that just hop on Twitch once in a while to collect donations or whatever. Who is keeping track of all of them?

Bash game companies for exploiting gambling addicts with loot boxes, that's fine.

But when thots exploit lonely males with webcam strip shows, criticism is sexist?

Yea this doesn't fucking compute.

Women being a vulnerable minority my ass.

Nothing wrong with sex work at all, but some of those people on those sites are quite disgusting as well. They lead pathetic men on in private conversations to bait more money out of them. Nothing wrong with showing the goods to get some money, but it becomes toxic once they add a personal touch to it. Then you have the crazy guys who think they like own the woman just because they've given thousands of dollars. It's not a healthy community at all.

I have mixed feelings about it. One the one hand, the ThotPatrol does need to tip the scales back; the state of the modern western woman is in shambles, and it's hard to feel bad for prostitutes too lazy to even has sex with people.

On the other hand, anyone who can get out of taxes gets a thumbs up from me.

That's not really an accurate comparison.

It'd be more like bashing casinos for exploiting gambling addicts. Which I suppose could be a fair point, but gambling is also the entire point of their business.

Sex work is real work. There should be no debate about whether it involves a real job or not.

Whether you want to respect it or not, well, that's a different argument.

It's "You can fuck me if you have money. You don't have to have any respect for me."

It's one thing to sell it to someone who actually has a decent opinion of you. It's another to let someone fuck you and know they're thinking "Let me nail this nasty bitch here..."

Its not real work. If you have a daughter and caught her doing that stuff you failed miserably.

This is the bargain between most employees and their bosses. Sex work is no more "selling one's body" than working in a coal mine and risking black lung.

LMAO @ acting like beating it to a camgirl makes you a victim.

What qualifies as real work? As long as you make money and pay taxes is there really a problem?

There are people in this country wearing diapers to work because they don't get bathroom breaks.

To the extent that sex work is exploitative, that's the work part, not the sex.

Im not saying it should be illegal, but do you disagree with the second part of my post?

If what you are doing requires some skill, creativity, and/or discipline then thats a sign that its real work.

As long as they pay their taxes as everyone else, I dont care. Problem is 90% of sex workers dont pay the taxes they should, I mean, Ive never seen anyone asking a hooker for a receipt.

Generally it is frowned upon to document your criminal behavior. If you want sex work to be taxed, legalize it.

Maybe you should support legalized and regulated prostitution then?

And you watch a lot of hookers, so...

A legalization and regulation of sex work will lead to the taxation of it.

I support legalization, taxation and regulation of prostitution for the safety of everyone involved and to help boost the economy just like how the economy is booming here in Canada from legalization of marijuana (which, by the way, should also be legalized on a federal level in the US for the same reasons)

In Germany theres a law requiring prostitutes to offer receipts to their clients.

Im not from the US. In my country prostitution is 100% legalized, so Im not sure my opinion matters in this specific topic. But yea, hookers from country aint offering receipts, though some of them accept payement by credit card, which should make it easier for the IRS to track them.

The US internal revenue service is going to go after prostitutes in other countries?

What, so retail worker don't do real work? Garbage men, janitors, shovelers, lawnmowers, the lunch lady?

If you're getting money for something, that means it is valued in some way, by someone. That's all it is, exchanging effort for money. What you have is an arbitrary concept of what you respect, which is different from the definition of work, or a job, that you would find in any dictionary or legal documentation.

People pretend to respect this on the same level that racists like minorities.

"Hey! It's not cool to disrespect minorities! Respect them!"
"Oh hey, your daughter just started dating one."
"WHAT!?"

You don't really respect sex workers. Stop pretending you do. Unless you're someone who actually would be proud to have a camgirl/porn star for a daughter rather than just putting up with it because you can't do anything about it.

You have weird projection issues. Being proud of something isn't the same as respecting something.

What if I agree that both sex work should be considered legitimate, and also that those fuckers should pay their taxes?

Im with you. Seems like a pretty reasonable standpoint. They work like the rest of us and should be taxed like the rest of us.

They thought adding psychology classes to high schools would yield positive results and posts like this are pretty much what they got out of it. lol

That doesn't make sense, seeing as my high school never had psych.
