      Prostitution is generally a crime and she was convicted. As opposed to an alleged prostitute, who may have only be charged or suspected of prostitution.

        Yea sure, but the problem is that it it villainizes her when all she was doing was sex work, which is only illegal because of puritanical religious meddling.

        Sex work is work, and she’s done nothing wrong other than break a morally ambiguous, at best, law. The phrasing is bullshit.

          Its part of the propaganda machine, Mom working a second job as a sex worker = criminal. The wealthy fucks who have done nothing but hoarde and steal more wealth from the working class = intelligent business people.

          Absolutely vile how they manipulate the people like this. The media’s lack of scrutiny and questioning the states narratives and laws only make this problem worse.

          Eh, I’m a convicted speeder and I think convicted prostitute should have about as much weight. But you just know some of her customers are the same ones calling for her removal because hypocrisy and moral superiority go hand in hand.

            A speeder? As in, someone that breaks the speed limits on roads?

            No, that is worse, because when you speed you are putting other’s lives at risk. I never felt at risk as a bystander from someone selling sex.

              You’re right to look down on me. My two speeding tickets in 33 years of driving reflect what a menace to society I’ve become. The carnage….

          Congratulations! You now realize why calling someone a ‘criminal’ is a loaded statement!

            Always have known. The law isn’t the same as morality. And being a ‘criminal’ does not make you a ‘bad person’.

            In the immortal words of Zangeif: just because you’re a ‘bad guy’ doesn’t mean you’re a ‘bad’ ‘guy’.

        And the only reason it’s still a crime is The Bible Thumpers who vote for The Mammon Worshippers would vote them out if they legalized it. The Mammonites (Republicans) would LOVE to get their cut of those fuck profits.

            As in it’s easier to traffick people when they’re afraid of being arrested?

            I genuinely can’t parse this argument.

            Criminalizing the victims of human trafficking makes said crime easier, because it creates hurdles for it’s victims to report it.
