I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

I mean that is the same basis for regular labor so yes because they said so

When a boss asks an employee if they like their job, then the employee rarely have anything to gain by saying no - even if they don't actually like their job.

Honesty isn't necessarily rewarded. That makes it hard to know if a person actually does porn because they like it, since they usually have an incentive to say they like it regardless.

Yeah that's what I said, it just as regular labor. There is no way of knowing if a person actually works because they like it.
