To me porn is a tough one. A lot of porn now seems to be individuals creating and sharing what they wish, within their own comfort zones. The stuff created by companies on the other hand does induce further pressures of people pushing people to do things they may not have chosen to do if they had created it themselves. All genders get pushed into doing shit by companies to perform things based off promises that are strictly manipulation and it is predatory. Companies will look to market trends / gaps that sell more advertisements/products.
If someone is choosing to share something without manipulation, I think it is ethical and just work. The question is how do you root out predatory practices companies perform without banning companies altogether. As banning them will inevitably take away the lobbying that keeps evangelicals or such from trying to ban it all together.
It needs to be safer, but I'm not sure how we can get there. Maybe someone else will throw in some ideas
Yeah, the employee-employer relationship is exploitative in itself. The sex industry has similar problems with exploitation as other industries have. Within a capitalist society, I suppose unions and worker cooperatives can mitigate some issues.
