I don't think doing porn makes somebody "bad". But making porn can have a toll on people, you might feel forced to do things you don't want to do, you might feel ashamed after doing it, you might feel uneasy when people recognize you in the street... well, it's quite possible you might wish you never did it.
Mia Khalifa is making a good living out of the fame she got doing porn, but even she being the 1 in 1,000,000 most succesful actress in the industry, she is partially remorseful and thinks a lot on what her life would have been if she hadn't gotten in the industry.
So I don't think people who do porn are bad, but that porn can hurt people and teenagers shouldn't do it casually. It might have unwanted repercusions on the rest of their life.
Ehhh... I don't know, this post strikes me too much as trying to paint porn actors as "victims." Sure, there may be sad/tragic situations where someone is in porn because they're a victim of trafficking or whatever. But as far as American professional porn goes, I think a lot of these people enter the industry on their own free will.
LIke Mia Khalifa did. I mean, it's right there in the article -- her EXPRESS, almost sole purpose in initially moving to Miami was to... get a boob job. (And according to several porn experts in this thread, apparently a very bad boob job at that.) The article even tries to paint this as some sort of victim-driven act ("oh she got a boob job because she felt bad she had tiny boobs due to weight loss"... or some such nonsense.) And when she was invited to do porn, she didn't decline.
This whole "rebranding" strikes me as disingenuous because she made money and got fame from porn, had massive regrets, but is now in a similar line of work (OnlyFans), using the fame she got from porn. So I don't buy the article's "she was a victim and is now a champion of female liberation, and a role model to young women everywhere" nonsense.
These people know what they're doing. The Kardashian/Jenner family, who contribute practically zero good to society, built a multi-billion dollar empire on the back of... Kim Kardashian's sex tape.
Where I will give ONE benefit of the doubt is where the article says Mia tried to do honest jobs after porn, but her porn fame got in the way of those. But the article doesn't say much, only that she "tried to change her looks by cutting her hair." Did she apply under her legal/birth name, or did she apply to those jobs as "Mia Khalifa?" Did she try not wearing 4D boob shirts to those jobs? I'm not passing judgement on this particular front but there's a lot that the article leaves out about this phase of her life.
