I've decided to just stop caring about anything so you're right in the sense that it is because of my privilege that I can make that choice.

Unfortunately while my privilege allows for me to be complacent and mellow my personality disorder calls me to constant action.

I take out my god complex on my sims versions of mb personalities.

I know we say wage slaves but what why isn’t every other life destroying forced occupation besides sexual prostitution called out for what it is?

Isn't that a bit like asking why we attach more significance to sexual harassment than we do to normal harassment? The sexual component just makes it seem extra degrading.

I have asked that before. A person gets sexually harassed once and there’s huge sympathy. A person is worked to death and answers to every other beck and call of a rich person to the point of completely destroying their life, dignity, mental health, physical health and at the end of it dies totally broke and that’s just how things are. As if the rich aren’t totally getting their jollies having underlings serve them as slaves. In which case the exploited is supposedly lucky to have a job.

Like Kavanaugh’s bourgeois victim. Dry humped at 16 or whatever. Like that’s the atrocity in a country with millions of women within the “service” industry no vacation ever, no sick days, no chance at advancement. Completely ****ing destroyed and left to die.

We don’t even consider completely destroying millions of lives “harassment” it’s just having a job.

Yes but whatever arguments you can make for general exploitation also apply to sex exploitation, with the additional sexual component making it even worse psychologically.

Yeah. You’re right. I just wish people could see that all abuse is wrong.

Prolly cause they arent forced into it and sex slaves are. Pretty insulting to even compare the life of a sex slave to the life of a ****ing american employee.

I bet you have me in a 1 tile room with walls and no door. You laugh whenever an emote begs for some basic human need.

You absolutely are forced into it. There’s no opting out of capitalism. A life ruined is a life ruined.
