    "porn star" absolutely is a slur for right wingers and liberals definitely use it to appeal to what they perceive as "right wing sensibilities"

    obviously it should not be a slur at all

      Yeah I'll agree it might trigger some emotional gut reaction thing in some people (especially older/conservative folks), but it's also just a descriptive noun. Michael Jackson was a pop star, Lebron is a basketball star, and Sasha Grey was a porn star

      I don't consider the phrase "porn star" to be a slur in most contexts, and I still don't see this as slut shaming, unless there was something in the article that indicates otherwise
