A critique of calling pornography "content creation" and how generic "sex worker" language misses people who trade sex for drugs. The speaker argues for asking people directly how they define their work instead of imposing labels.
Yeah, who do porn. And I personally, I don't like the term content creation because it doesn't say anything. It's porn that I do. But if— and a lot of people who sell sex won't, won't necessarily say, oh, I'm a sex worker. And that is particularly important if we're talking about chemsex. You know, you have this group of people who have sex in exchange for drugs, maybe because they used up all their drugs and they don't have any more money or because of addiction, etc. So they do the sex work, the praxis, having sex exchange for drugs, but they don't identify themselves as sex workers. So therefore, if we come and say, hey, we have information to sex workers, they won't necessarily listen to us because we're using the wrong wording. So I think it's important to ask the person, what does this mean to you?
