Obiwan looks like Jesus meme reminds me that the greatest miracle Jesus ever produced was living in the Middle East and looking like a white man

I mean, governments being useless doesn't make me happy but some individuals doing the right thing is a nice consolation.

What haven’t they done forever?

Likely because a large portion of the people who are employed at these venues are, generally speaking, more vulnerable and susceptible to abusive cycles and behaviors.

I have known and been friends with a few people in the sex work trade throughout the years and generally they didn't end up there because they came from solid foundational bedrocks of self-care and self-advocacy growing up.

Of course, that's not to say that my anecdotal experience is empirical, but I'd wager reality sways a little closer to what I've seen than the opposite.

Based and another proof against chuds who view sex workers as lesser people.
