Hey is “porn star” the best way to describe her?
I seem to recall we were saying “adult film star“ or “adult film actress“ and now the verbiage has shifted. If I’m right, then maybe it’s an attempt to destigmatize?
(“Porn” should also be more accurate given the number of adult films which are not pornographic)
Haha, people choose the language that supports the narrative they're peddling.
When emphasizing how bad Trump's actions were, he cheated on his wife with a porn star. When trying to make it no big deal, he had a fling with an escort.
When trying to humanize Stormy Daniels, she's an adult film actress. When trying to tear her down, she's basically a hooker.
It stood out to me because I happened to hear one of the talking heads refer to her as a porn star - but the guy was definitely left of center and was overall bashing the twice-impeached president. So I thought oh maybe we’re trynna normalize porn star as a phrase!
Its already the norm though, I've always heard the term porn star, the others I've been only hearing since a year or two. Albeit I don't live in an english speaking country.
I mean to me it's already normalized. He, she, we, porn star
It is normal, isn't it? "Adult film actress" is a euphemism, I can't imagine hearing anyone I know say it.
It's interesting that when talking about films and TV we often use actor to describe both men and women, but in porn women are always actresses haha.
Also, wasn't she actually a Producer for some adult content? Can't exactly do that while being a mindless "hole & a heartbeat", which is what their narrative is...
She doesn't even star anymore. She's a director and producer now.
She does a handful of shoots as a performer still. Porn isn't the only thing she produces, either. She also does ghost hunting/paranormal investigations.
I still cringe when I hear someone call a sex worker a "hooker". Even sex worker seems a bit broad tbh
