Re: ...what does Obama have to do with this? And who/what else do you boycott?

[nyxelestia]

I'm not changing the subject, I'm making a point: getting rid of or boycotting a toxic industry won't actually get rid of the toxicity, and it devalues the good people are trying to do to change the industry and empower people within it.

Are women routinely exploited and abused in the porn industry? Yes. Is that inherent to the live-action porn industry? No. As people have pointed out, there are lots of people trying to change the porn industry to make it less toxic.

Saying "women are abused in the porn industry, so there should be no porn industry" would be like someone saying decades ago saying, "people of color are discriminated against in NASA, so there should be no NASA". If there had been no NASA, how would someone like Mae Jemison have been able to break the barriers of race and gender in the first place? How would getting rid of an organization/industry that was racist have actually gotten rid of racism?

Even if we could hypothetically get rid of the entire live-action porn industry, sexism and misogyny would still be around. Doing so would be the equivalent of treating a symptom instead of a cause.
