Right, but those kids are still being taken advantage of and exploited, and possibly sexually abused behind closed doors. The point is, they are still selling underage sex.
Of course it does. This goes back to the other thread Bullgrit started about the one nighters, and the U.S. having all these sexual hangups. The porn industry has always been seen as some evil thing because sex is bad. Whenever you get one of these news stories about some underage kid performing in it, it's a gotcha! moment, and the media jumps all over it. The same rarely happens in Hollywood, it seems.
So because the Coreys' sexual abuse wasn't sold as a product it isn't as bad? Also, have you considered the B-movie side of Hollywood? Most of those movies are just T&A movies where young girls and put on screen and they simulate sex. While it's not actual sex (assuming that actual sex never occurs), I'm betting there are some actors who also use drugs to get through those scenes.
The fact is, there is no way to prove that claim. There is no way you can prove that more people are victimized in porn than in Hollywood. Sure, you might be right, the porn industry could be significantly worse than Hollywood. You could also be wrong, and Hollywood could be significantly worse than the porn industry. In fact, the rate of victimization could be exactly the same in both industries. By the way, I'm not saying one is better/worse than the other. I'm saying we can't be sure.
In any case, saying that you have a "moral dilemma" that prevents you from working in one industry compared to another because of "the degree" to which you perceive it to occur in one industry seems like a cop-out. It's still occurring in both industries. So it isn't what is happening in the industry that bothers you, it's just how much you think it happens.
