I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

There is a lot of manipulation, drugging, exploitation, and straight up criminal activity that a large porn industry begets.

I'd be curious to see the stats, but I'd be shocked if this hasn't gotten much better since like the 70s-90s. For one, OF does allow for freelance work. Also, I've seen more and more professional porn outfits that are created/run by women.

Being ran by women doesn't mean shit. Women can be abusers too, and even can take advantage of that sentiment to assist going under the radar. Look at one of the worst examples, Ghislaine Maxwell.
