Creepy men use anti-sex work activism to abuse woman online, like they always have.

On the 15 of may 2020, the adult performers guild published a tweet about a man called “Intellectual Willhelm” who is doxing and blackmailing sex workers into leaving the industry by sending their images and videos to family members and friends.

The “former” pimp & drug dealer who now claims to be a community leader, restaurant owner, & landlord claims that he is doing this because he wants to teach them a lesson about participating in online sex work. In reality he is just another misogynist using anti-sex work (or rather anti-pornographic) abuse as an “acceptable” way to abuse and harm women.

This is not the first a man has abused sex workers online in some bizzare anti-sex work crusade, Omid18097499 is (presumably) another weird man who has bragged about getting adult entertainers Instagram accounts disabled and has a creepy obsession with ex-pornstar Mia Khalifa.

His views on porn are pretty clear cut, he doesn’t want it to exist.

You have to wonder if these two accounts are part of an organized attack on the porn industry?

It’s well know that anti-sex work and anti-pornography movements are nothing more than fronts for the patriarchal control over women. Those who oppose the decriminalization of prostitution claim to be protecting sex workers from harm, when in reality they are just forcing sex workers into the arms of pimps and dangerous situations with clients.

Anti-pornography activists claim to be protecting women from being exploited and trafficked, when in reality they are just eroding women’s rights and pushing the industry underground and into the arms of criminals, creeps and human traffickers.

It goes without saying that a majority of the people who are against sex work are religious extremists, the far right and pseudo-feminists.

A great example is the recent call for credit card companies to stop doing business with porn sites, stemming from the misogynist fantasy that all pornstars are trafficked and abused in porn. This is something that extremists has been targeting pornhub to the point where people have been calling for the CEO of pornhub to be jailed for sex trafficking…

While there is a lot of issue with pornhub: dodgy content, their empire over the porn industry and their involvement in the uk’s failed and dangerous censorship regime that was masquerading as an age gate for porn.

Sex trafficking isn’t one.

I also fail to see how cutting credit cards from a site that main feature is free user uploaded videos — which is where they gained the accusation of sex trafficking from — is going to help.

If anything it will make legitimate porn harder to get, forcing the industry to go underground and use bitcoin or shady payment options. It’s going to cause a lot more ads (and viruses) and data getting sold to scummy companies.

This is fine apparently.

All while actual sites that host rape videos are given free passes because this campaign is not about the protection of women or the eradication of rape videos and child sexual abuse imagery. If these people cared, they would ditch the attacks on porn and work with pornsites to remove illegal and questionable content.

But that would make their end goal of restricting woman and LGBT rights impossible.
