This is the bottom line of this whole argument for me.
I've read more about this from Red Canary, who are pro-sex workers rights (anyone that wants to do sex work should be allowed to do sex work) but that sex trafficking is insanely common and needs to be combatted.

Also sex work should be legalized because cops can't keep themselves from raping sex workers. It's fucking horrifying, I'm not gonna link anything because it's covered in all types of media. Also cop-detainee sex is not illegal. In terms of policy, there are a million common sense things you could do, even from a completely non-leftist standpoint.
I don't know who that is. I'd be personally iffy on a person who was groomed doing sex work even while of age but I don't think it's up to us to prevent them from doing it if they genuinely actually want to, you can just not look at it and then it's not viable anyway.
Was she groomed? She might even actually need the money or thinks it's her best bet to make an okay amount by cashing in on recognition somewhat? I'm not looking further into it either cause it's just not my business.
Yeah it's not an easy question, which is why it's a great struggle session. And the difference between a utopian view VS what we could theoretically implement today is stark. I like to imagine a society where sex workers are able to own their own labor with free access to healthcare, therapy, protection, legal help, and maybe most importantly, an easy career change if they so choose.
I have no answer to the cultural remedy part. Without having done the research, I imagine the explosion of OnlyFans is correlated with economic anxiety. So as with most things, a strong anti-poverty campaign (communism?) is the best antidote. Similar to how the best anti-racism is universalist anti-poverty.

It's not about being allowed to it's about needing to.
