So, you guys are still on the hook that if it's a Spirit, it can't be a DLC fighter? You know that would eliminate about 95% of all likely candidates, right?

There are spirits in the game that are the actual fighters, including Piranha Plant.

So what's even your question again?

You don't care to have sex worker defined.

You don't care that sex workers include prostitutes.

Who said all sex workers are prostitutes?

I never asked why sex worker is a term, I asked why we dont call prostitutes prostitutes.

Quite frankly, your topic title was very implicit of just that.

You can call a prostitute a prostitute if you want, but they're also under the larger umbrella of sex workers, which include strippers, adult film actresses, phone sex operators, etc.

You do realise that on the other end of the spectrum, legalising prostitution still makes it more dangerous? It increases sex trafficing rates.

We've had this discussion. The study you typically cite on this was done with incomplete data, studied over only a few years, only takes into account a small number of countries, and the study itself admits that there's not enough data to prove the thing that you are saying. Only correlation.

Dumb post. I think it should be legal to drink your ass off every day, and I also think it's a terrible idea to drink your ass off every day.

So really all you want to create is a society where vice is allowed and you can feel superior to others because you didn't indulge.

I guess I see why you would make this error. You're a leftist, and for leftists it's the State's job to pick up where the Church left off in enforcing morality.

It's not about the result. It's the intent. You've made your intent clear through your dialogue in this topic. You don't want to protect or support anyone. You're all about yourself and where you stand in the pecking order.

That's never going go happen and you know it.

Well not with that attitude.

There are always going to be people looking to take advantage of others in any industry. Acting like porn has some kind of monopoly on taking advantage of its workers is silly. With more and more online exposure for sex workers, the focus should absolutely be on protecting them from bad bosses. I never said it was going to be easy, but I think it's a better track than trying to shame the industry into non-existence.

The nuclear family is the optimal way to raise kids. It makes sense that societal norms would prioritize habits that encourage the nuclear family. That involves acting in a way that makes you look like an attractive and reliable long term partner.

Regardless of whether this is proven, what is it about sex work that negates one's ability to have a nuclear family?

Sex work is shameful because its practice is rooted deep in history as a way to oppress and use women for pleasure

I and many other sex work advocates are aware of the sordid history of sex work.

The thing is sex work is not going to go away. It remains a demand for society, no matter how little we want to admit it, and no amount of shaming or proselytism in thousands of years has done a lick of changing that.

If we cannot remove it as a demand, the focus should instead be to provide a supply that is safe and regulated for all involved. To create an industry where the workers are in control of their own agency.

The idea behind embarrassment and nudity is that people have some standards when it comes to sexual partners. Im not saying sex work should be illegal, Im as libertarian as they come. Banging a girl who treats her body as community property is unappealing for a lot of people. If you raise a girl to not be ashamed of literally being a whore, you are automatically making her extremely unappealing to a massive pool of respectable men who would otherwise start a family with her.

Well, that's trying to have your cake and eat it, too, isn't it.

"You can be involved in sex work all you want, but I'm going to belittle you for it and shame you."

You can stop lying about being libertarian any time. You're just a normal dank-ass conservative.

Yeah the 0/K fighting offered a lot more freedom of choice in how you approach a combat. K2 (much like 6) strips it down. You have some options but not nearly as much.

I'm interested to see what they're planning for the combat in Judge Eyes.

Im actually getting less interested in the series as it just keeps getting less focused on the actual story and more nonsense.

The two Kiwami games are quite guilty of that. As they're remakes they maintain their original story but pile on top more goofy stuff.

Yakuza 6, for example, isn't quite as guilty of it.

If you really want to, you can easily find a Vsauce video on why humans find nudity embarrassing.

But that would just explain why humans find nudity embarrassing, and you're putting no real effort into attaching that to sex work and your proclaimed degeneracy of it.

Match not found.

Here's a conversation you won't see actually happen.

"My daughter is a doctor."
"Oh yeah? Well MY daughter is a prostitute!"

This is less a problem with the jobs themselves and more of a problem with parents bragging about their children to feel superior to their peers. They tie their own arrogance to the success of their child with what society has determined "good jobs".

Another societal hang-up that you seem determined to perpetuate.

Should a parent be ashamed of their child becoming an artist? A performer? A teacher?

You don't really respect sex workers. Stop pretending you do. Unless you're someone who actually would be proud to have a camgirl/porn star for a daughter rather than just putting up with it because you can't do anything about it.

As long as they pay their taxes as everyone else, I dont care. Problem is 90% of sex workers dont pay the taxes they should, I mean, Ive never seen anyone asking a hooker for a receipt.

And you watch a lot of hookers, so...

A legalization and regulation of sex work will lead to the taxation of it.

Mr. Oliver-Bruno's heinous crime was falsifying his entry into the country in 2014 (he has lived in the US for 22 years). He purchased a falsified Texas birth certificate so he could enter the country and be with his wife who was undergoing heart surgery.

He was taking sanctuary in the church because this case was being appealed and he was seeking deferment. Apparently, ICE has decided due process can go suck an egg.

The man in question was lured out of his sanctuary in a church to a USCIS office with the promise of being allowed paperwork to defer his deportation, and ICE officers jumped him as he was standing in line.

It's just that dating IS easier for women. Why is it so hard for people to admit that in one aspect of life that women generally have it easier?

Because we don't think it's true. For reasons that have already been stated.

No one is saying men never have problems with dating.

No one is saying women can't be awful.

No one is saying men can't be taken advantage of.

Coming up with individual situations where men come out the worse does not tip the scale to the end of "women have it easier in dating".

I mean, quite frankly this would be easier to explain if we had some actual women in this topic.

TommyG663513 posted...

More bisexual people need to weigh in on this topic.

That's fine, but I don't think it's going to give the perspective that this topic really needs. You're suggesting that because you date both men and women that you're in a position to judge who has it easier with dating, but that ignores the fact that while you have dated both men and women, you've only ever dated AS a man. You've never dated AS a woman.

What we really need are some of the trans people on CE who have dated as both expressions. >_>
