the anti-sex worker posts in this thread are a bit weird

she's privileged enough not have to choose that career out of desperation. it sounds like she's interested in producing softcore work herself. she's not likely to be exploited that way, so a lot of the reactions here seem weird

a lot of sex work, especially prostitution, involves exploitation but this does not seem to be it

'seedy'? Some people do want to do it out of their own free will. Fair play.



Seems like that's far, far away judging by this thread.
Seedy as in exploitative. Adult performers are routinely treated like shit. This is something many adult stars have already commented on. So it can present a difficult environment with those with mental health issues. This is not so much about being anti-sex work, but if someone has a panoply of other issues, it may not be the most supportive workplace.

There's also a realism that many sex workers are not sex workers by choice, but do it because there is a lack of choice. Not everyone is like this obviously, But we can look at this issue with nuance without shaming.

I wouldn't make any assumptions on that front. We don't know who's influencing her thinking or how long the party or parties have been working her. Many a victim thought they were in complete control of their decisions.

The domestic violence arrest is likely the tip of the iceberg.

Yep. This seems to be an issue. Does she have true agency in the situation? Is there external pressure being applied? We obviously don't know yet and but the optics don't look good. To say that this is concerning is not to be anti-sex worker.

I don't want to make any judgements one way or another. Maybe she doesn't want to use her parents money and create and own her own thing which is understandable and this may be a way for her to do that without having to use her parents money and influence so i can respect that. And she's not escorting or doing actual porn, she's doing softcore stuff and more than likely has an onlyfans where she controls everything and not some sleezy producer.

On the other hand, its concerning that she's engaged to a 47 year old dude and was just arresting for domestic assault so its hard to gauge where she is at mentally. I do wish her all the best tho.

Weird how this forum is so against sex work. Not even only in this thread but several others.

I mean if that's what she wants to do , then cool? Who cares if she's "ruining a legacy" if that's she wants to do? Ok. Be safe, is all I would say

To the domestic abuse thing, unless I'm reading it wrong it says she was the abuser? Was to her partner?

Out of spite? For real, she's the daughter of Steven fucking Spielberg. If quick fame is all she wants, there's a thousand better ways. Even if she has zero talent she'd still get a push.

Just look at Jaden Smith.
Jaden smith can do a good song and he isnt the worst actor

Just goes to show you how performative the attitude toward sex workers is in many of the other threads we've had on the subject in the past.

It's masks off in this thread.

Hum, folks are really presuming a specific kind of sex work when it seems like she's just doing some Patreon or Only Fans kind of self publishing. At least from the info itt.

We still into shaming people for using their body as they see fit?

It's the domestic violence we need to be worried about imo

A bit disappointed by some of the responses solely being judgement about her choice to be a sex worker.

Sex work stuff aside, I find it extremely creepy in this thread that people are saying they wish her the best and hope she's okay when she got arrested for domestic abuse.

I don't care who she is, fuck her to hell if the charges are true. I hope her victim is okay, I don't give a fuck about her. Can't believe you guys. Is it because she's famous, or because it's a woman?

He literally says that it is a misunderstanding and that no one was hurt, but thanks for reading the OP before posting. 👍
Yea, I read the OP, it wasn't long.

If a woman was a victim of domestic abuse comes out and says "it was a misunderstanding" (which often happens), you would honestly say "oh! in that case I hope that man is ok!"

Give me a break.

Well that doesn't mean she didn't assualt him. A "misunderstanding" could mean a lot of things.
And I never said she didn't? I said that HE said she didn't. If she did, then she deserves to go to jail, like any abuser. But there are a ton of red flags around this situation. Saying I hope she's okay, doesn't mean I hope he isn't.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Disparaging sex workers.
"Of course Steven Spielberg's daughter would want to engage in UPLIFTING SEX WORK YOU UNCULTURED SWINE."

Objectification and commodification of sex largely benefits certain groups over others. It's a situation that exists BECAUSE of disparate, unequal, and exploitative socioeconomic dynamics. Without our unhealthy attitudes towards interpersonal relationships and social support there'd be little to no need for a system where individuals sell brief physical access to their body without emotion.

Supporting "sex work" always strikes me as one of those areas of human life where you can sound progressive while participating in a system that's inherently problematic. Like, no, we shouldn't denigrate someone doing this stuff, but it's almost never a great life choice.

This girl's privileged background makes the choice even more a glaring contrast. She could've done almost anything in the world, visual art, writing, business, influencer garbage, whatever. Instead she's selling videos of herself jilling off and has a 47 year old fiance (???). The googleweb also says she's had a lot of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. And now, domestic violence? Doesn't sound like she's on a healthy track, to be honest.

i'm all for normalizing sex work but I don't understand why the daughter of steven-fucking-spielberg would want to be involved in something like that? I mean do you I guess.

So weird how people are focused on the second worker part instead of the domestic violence part. Nothing wrong with sex work not everyone does it out of desperation.

Given her history, the domestic abuse charge, and then being with this dude. A whole bunch of red flags are going off for me.
Yep. I see no reason to believe anything about their relationship is healthy. A history of serious mental health issues and drug abuse? Mixed with sex work? And now domestic violence?

She needs help, and a lot of it. People disingenuous ignoring that context to fret about "sex worker attitudes on da forumzz" are intentionally missing the forest for the fucking trees.

You mothafuckas (you know who you are) ain't slick.

There are a number of posts that are very disappointing. We'd like to remind everyone that demeaning or disparaging sex workers is against the forum's policies. As stated in the FAQ:

"We do not allow behavior or rhetoric that attacks or discriminates against users based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion or disability. We also do not tolerate 'slut shaming' including the demeaning of sex workers. This policy extends to support of hate movements, online or offline, that are dedicated to the promotion of the above. We ask that you not use slang or terminology coined by or associated with hate movements."

We will be reviewing the contents of the thread and closing this thread.
