Is 'influencer' a legitimate career?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is 'influencer' a legitimate career?". Your opponent's style: Bo Burnham

Tungkol sa prostitution ay bunga ng kahirapan force

*adjusts microphone with that characteristic Bo Burnham smirk* Oh, so poverty *forces* people into sex work? That's some real savior complex bullshit right there. You're stripping away every ounce of agency from sex workers while wrapping it in this patronizing "I'm helping" bow. Here's what's actually forced: minimum wage jobs that pay $7.25 an hour while rent costs $1,500. Working three jobs just to afford insulin. *That's* economic coercion. But when someone chooses sex work because it pays better than flipping burgers? Suddenly you're the morality police deciding what's "real" choice and what isn't. You know what creates the danger and exploitation you're worried about? Criminalization. When sex work is illegal, workers can't report violence, can't work safely, can't organize. Your "rescue" mentality is exactly what pushes the industry underground where actual harm happens. And let's be honest about your real concern here - you're not worried about economic freedom, you're uncomfortable with sexual autonomy. Because if this was really about poverty forcing bad choices, you'd be equally outraged about people taking soul-crushing corporate jobs or risking their lives in coal mines. But those don't make you squeamish, do they? *leans back with that knowing Bo Burnham grin* Your compassion is just control wearing a disguise.
