objectification by definition involves an element of dehumanization, and anyone who’s worked a client-facing position in the adult industry (myself included) can tell you that dehumanization does not automatically come with the territory of being hired for sexual attention. if you believe otherwise, you’re operating off of a misconception about how these exchanges actually go down in real life
what’s really dehumanizing here is your suggestion that someone hiring me for my time, company and attention is “buying a person”. I have never been for sale as a person, that’s not how that works—super unrealistically condescending way for you to refer to an adult worker’s job. that’s one of the misconceptions I’m talking about
do you think my clients all own me in some way now, just because I profited off of their desire for attention? do you think that just because transactional sexual attention was involved, that somehow means I don’t call the shots in terms of what I am or am not willing to do with another person? “buying someone” is enslavement. no one bought me
why would you want to cede any ground to clients whose entitlement extended beyond your job description? cause you really don’t have to treat the dehumanizing attitudes of *some* shitty clients as like, reality-defining. that’s just their delusion and lack of boundaries. I’m sorry if your experience in the industry was so negative that you felt that way, but objectively, doing sex work is not the same as your personhood being up for sale
“you’re actually slow ash”, “maybe you’re just naive”? be serious. that’s insulting. the claim that All clients believe they’re buying you as a person is demonstrably false, I know that firsthand. you’re projecting your own negative experience across an entire industry and refusing to listen to alternative perspectives from people who ALSO worked in that same industry. and again, just because some of them delusionally believe that shit doesn’t mean you have to treat their delusions as fact
notice how i said 'if' along with both of those 🤥 and as i already said, i didn't have a negative experience. the commodification of humans is objectifying. end of story. and again, if you think the people who are literally purchasing your time and interactions see you as more than just that. then you ARE naive
“you’re slow ash if you believe [thing you just very clearly expressed that you believe]” 🤔 that’s not a very conditional or ambiguous “if”, now is it if you’re gonna say hostile shit like that then you should at least have the integrity to acknowledge that you were in fact being unnecessarily rude
girl for the second time, who said anything about “normal”? I’m not saying it’s “a normal job”, idk what that’s even supposed to be. my post is pretty clearly just arguing that people who go to strip clubs or hire other adult industry workers aren’t all necessarily doing something worthy of judgment
commodifying a person would, again, mean that the person themself is for sale. and you just acknowledged that what’s actually for sale is time and interaction. so the person themself is not being commodified… unless you believe that Most forms of labor amount to commodification of human beings? in which case I would be willing to more or less agree
and nah, at no point have I suggested that you’re intellectually inferior, just that you’re stubbornly overgeneralizing, making claims that don’t reflect reality, and refusing to leave room for the nuances of other people’s experiences. none of those are generalizations about you as a person, you’re the only one whipping out insults
