  • and there’s no scene where John Wick gets a lap dance. There are women who appear to be sex workers, and John Wick murders their bosses. The audience isn’t invited to participate in the objectification,

    I do not agree that paying a woman for a lap dance is objectification if sex work is real work and should be respected. If sex work is bad and shouldn’t be respected then sure, that’d be a bad thing to pay for, but it can’t be both.

    Here you directly state that getting a lap dance, i.e paying a sex worker for the service she sells, is objectification and you go on to accuse those who engage in such activity of being misogynists. This implies that sex work is not real work, a phrase meant to normalize sex workers and cut down on their judgement, as you can’t normalize something if all their customers are also bad people. It also implies you think sex work is something to look down on, likely from a place of “you’re better than that” rather than “dern whores,” but that’s still not very sex positive of you.

    You can say dumb shit about your pixel strawman all you want, but putting sex workers as helpless dolls that need to be saved by the hero isn’t as progressive as you think it is.


  • They did pay the voice actors real money, and the fictional women use fictional currency. They are being paid both fictionally and IRL. Sucks to suck my guy, get good.

    Btw I like that the root of your sarcasm is “No, stripping isn’t real work, real ones shouldn’t get paid because the fake ones only get fake currency.” You’re a weird dude.
