I honestly think prostitution would have a lot less of the trafficking issue/hiding abuse shit if it became a more legalized thing as it is in Nevada. I am not saying the other issues would disappear, but the women would have a much better chance than they do currently.

But yeah, porn really shouldn't be seen the way it is in the westernized world.

yes, absolutely! like they're sex workers. it's doing a service for money and if people would stop trying to ignore it and brush it off as something "dirty" there would be a lot more safety and a lot less pain there. idk i read up a lot on people from the industry who've quit and there are some real horror stories and i just ):
i dont know i feel so bad for the way society demeans sex workers to the point where they're treated so inhumanely

A lot of illegal things would be better legal and regulated than illegal and run by bad, exploitative people.

But then again, The System can be pretty exploitative, too.

true. i think mainly if as a whole society (in america, since i can't really talk for other countries as i havent lived there) were more accepting of such things it would be a lot easier to raise awareness of the problems and to protest for better safety regulations.

like the The System does some Shit but once it comes to light and gains a movement it's easier to make progress as long as people are willing to look at the problem

boy am i glad you guys arent ignorant on this stuff though that was, a pleasant surprise ! (NOT TO BE CONDESCENDING JUST... a lot of people dont know or choose not to care)

idek. I don't have much hope for murican politics myself.

Entire species become endangered. Maybe two fucks given.

Twinkies canceled. NATION UNITES.

fuck.... tru.....e....
waiting for everything to collapse and to set stuff on fire tbh

idk but while im here i might as well advocate for change, i guess. 0:

Mostly. Its your typical "Bad guy needs to be stopped before they make a bad situation worse" type story. The two main characters wont meet until about midway through and it will essentially be about their own personal struggles with the "Queen" who is the villain. The female lead needs to escape. The male needs to find redemption. The characters will have known each other in the past (typical) and will have to rebuild lost trust (He lobbed her freakin' head off and enabled the Queen to capture her! ((IMMORTALITY SUCKS)) :D) in order to reach the underground. Which is essentially the land of Faerie. The gates have been sealed due to war between the fae and teh queen blah blah blah and it is rumored that only one gate remains open, but it is of the underhill which is ever moving so you have to know someone who can locate it. The male is trying to open the gate with his companion who is one of the many girls the Queen wanted him to execute due to some prophecy type thing/she fuckin crazy. The female was the huntsman of the wild hunt prior to capture, but has no powers outside of ....g...i cant remember what it is fucking called right now. The thing. That hides the Faes looks when they need to appear more human? FUCK....

ANYWAYS. Realize they both need to find underground. Girly has a higher chance of Fae cooperation since she is Fae and to be Fae is a death sentences so finding one is hard. yada yada yada.


Its not very original, but the characters have been in my head for YEARS so I figured Id give it a shot.

I just want things to hold together long enough for me to live a good life and die. Then it can go to shit, like I see it doing. x_x.;

Unfortunately the U.S. views a sexualized woman negatively at this point so convincing them that the sex trade is something that should be regulated and legal isn't going to happen BECAUSE ALL WOMEN ARE WHORES AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED SUCH FOLLY BLAH BLAHBALH.

Plus, like Dys so elegantly stated: We're screwed. The population here has been so brainwashed for so long that they can't even recognize facts and only care about the stupidest shit.

Eh. I wouldn't say that a sexualized woman is viewed as negative.

But I will say this.

The general outlook is that a man wants a woman who is both a virgin and a whore.

Thats probably more along what I was trying to say. I am bad at that articulation. Either way, I get pretty fed up with peoples telling me I am a whore because of my personal choices that they have no business butting into D:

hell no i'm so about adventure saving the world stories. cliche as fuck but ... epic quests? magic? count me in.
also i love immortals nonchalantly dying. or not so nonchalantly but... ykno....
that sounds really cool though. what kind of fae are they like... faes with different courts? big and bad? etc. *-*
you should def let me read it though!! if youre comfortable with that

true! lmao love it
idk i still, want to try! and do something
maybe it's bc im young and reckless and also because my sun-sign is leo and therefore i am AWFUL at staying quiet but
change is happening. not fast enough and not immense enough but
the protests in ferguson and for eric garner
leelah alcorn's death and the reaction it's spurring
and i know that it's highly likely that shit wont change but, if i can change a few peoples minds or at least show some people what's going on (even they tell me to shut up and it's annoying and stop talking about it) at least... it's getting it out there, i guess?
i'm bad with forming personal relationships that actually mean something to me but when it comes to social issues i get really angry and emotional since a lot of it hits on a personal level.

Eh.

If someone called me a whore, I really wouldn't care.

Whore isn't an insult. Neither is virgin. Its simply a choice.

sexualized women arent viewed as negative, i think
a woman sexualizing herself out of her own free will is though :/

like magazine ads where girls are practically naked? perfectly okay
a girl sends nudes herself? she must be terrible
lmao

tldr.

PEOPLE.

Said like that "ALIENS." meme.

I call myself a whore, but I don't mean it negatively. Its not the term, its the reasoning behind it that bugs me.

Ah, now that I definitely understand. :c. <33

pretty much, lol

but yea. like i call myself a queer piece of shit all the time but when people call me gay in a negative manner it's like... yo.... chill..... why are you being such a douche?
like it's not really something that i care if people talk bad about me (as long as they do it to my face) but knowing they got some internalized terrible views in there is pretty annoying haha

I have a reasoning on the survival of said beheading, but yes. I love immortal nonchalance. ESPECIALLY when its a ridiculous "THERE IS NO WAY YOU LIVED" death LOL. I will have both the Seelie and Unseelie courts as well as the slaugh/wild hunt being of its own court. I dunno about big/bad but they will have their own virtues and desires. I tend to adore the unseelie court LOL

I dont mind. I don't have much written right now honestly. I have pretty much those two scenes written in 50 different ways. I need to decide on perspective, but once I do and get more down I'll show you if youre still interested.

The other stuff. My opinions on that are...eh.

DIS! THIS IS WHAT I MEANT BY SEXUALIZED WOMAN. I just didn't have the words. I have written too many papers this week my brain wouldnt do it!

Hello everyone. just gonna jump in and say hi.

Hola, Spicy.

hello spice!! roses? sproses?

no reason in particular! just wondering. i'd like to actually be there for the event instead of coming in right before it ends next time >:v
might have to plan something to do then too if i'm still on this site

YES and when the immortal character in question is just kinda like "dude, why would you even do that? that's so not cool" as their body regenerates/comes back together/etc.
but oooh yes i love the unseelie court <3 tbh fae isn't my area of Creatures expertise but i love the folklore. and im def interested

I'll join you for next event, too. :D

You amuse me so Id probably stalk you. Just sayin'.

I started doing research into them when I started the Meredith Gentry books. While I don't particularly care for them as a whole, the first few books in that series intrigued me and I've read a few since then. The lore is so goooooood. I figured if i had elements in my book id have to research xD;
