Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

there was (is) this weird impression that attractive women can just

It's the impression, there's an impression that sex work is just taking a picture of you naked in the mirror and making money, which is an impression and a misrepresentation of that field.

Yeah you can't be saying "se workers are workers and deserve rights" and 5 words later repeat the incel talking point that "sex workers don't really do anything compared to a 'real' job". You're creating surplus value and being paid for your labor, it's a real job in that sense. Not even under Graeber's definition of a bullshit job is sex work not actual work.

I am saying the impression, the way it's advertised, only fans advertising, the way they advertise it is that it's simple work or no work at all.

here I'll analyze every word I gave
"it's the impression"
impression: an idea, feeling, or opinion about something or someone, especially one formed without conscious thought or on the basis of little evidence.

"an impression that sex work is just taking a picture of you naked in the mirror and making money"
there is an idea based on the advertising done that doing only fans is simply just taking some pictures of yourself and getting paid a lot, which in reality there's far more than that, yet no where did I state it's not a real work.

"which is an impression and a misrepresentation of that field."
I again say that the previous statement is an impression people have, an idea without basis, and a misrepresentation of that field
misrepresentation: the action or offence of giving a false or misleading account of the nature of something.

Are you able to understand a concept without getting mad at it?
