Almost every day one reads news articles of teachers or nurses getting fired becuase someone found their OF or manyvids account or found they had a porn history. If porn is not illegal then why should one be discrimated against for their life choices? Even some hardened criminals get a better break than some porn actors post career.

There should be a civil rights group for sex workers and post sex workers.

[mod edit: changed thread title to better reflect what the thread is about]

Playing devil's advocate, the "it's not illegal" argument only goes so far. Being legal and being ethical aren't the same. If an employee's past or their recent conduct can create unnecessary distraction for an organization or harm its reputation, that's often grounds for dismissal - legal or illegal matters not. Does sex work fall under the remit of civil rights as it is a choice? Sexuality, race, disability, age, national origin and gender identity aren't choices.

Do I personally care about seeing a teacher who had been in porn before? No but I understand that many look down on it and will make a twisted judgement that it is incompatible with working with children despite their porn work either being solo or with consenting adults. I also understand that having done porn can be a big distraction for the school from angry parents (and busybodies who don't have children at the school) regardless of the teacher's competence.

Martin Shkreli acted completely legally when he increased the price of a drug by 5000% per pill. He acted legally but was he right in his choice to profit more from vulnerable people's ailments? Was it unfair that he was condemned for it?

[mod edit: this is not a thread about what particular performers are doing after they left porn. We already have a few threads for that. This is a thread discussing the issue of people being discriminated against for their porn careers]

^ Maybe the topic title needs to be changed as that was the impression I got as well before I read the posts.

Always feet n ass. In that order.

^ You're right. I've edited the thread title. I hope this makes it more clear.
