It makes me wonder why people have a moral dilemma with working in the adult industry and not hollywood.
Hollywood wasn't on the list in the original question.

...in the porn industry? Not necessarily as an actor.
...as a car salesman?
...as a drug traffickers?
...as a politician?
...as a soldier?
...as a tabacco PR rep?

Again, we're talking about degrees. Sure there's drug use in Hollywood. Add to that on the stage of Broadway and in rock venues everywhere around the world. And in corporate boardrooms. And in parish rectories. Drug use is not unique to porn.Right, yet there seems to be a pretty big problem with drugs. Lots of child stars seem to end up in rehab. It's not as if drug use is a minor thing in Hollywood.
As for the underage sex? There's a lot of people who have come forward and said they have been sexually abused as kids in Hollywood. Cory Felman and Cory Heim seem to be two of the worst. Then there is the guy who played Elmo, and there has been managers, talent agents, and others. It's not as if it doesn't happen, it's just not made very public.
In any case, my actual point is that regardless of industry, you're going to find that there is an unsavory side to it. The adult industry isn't the only industry with this kind of stuff. It makes me wonder why people have a moral dilemma with working in the adult industry and not hollywood
Just want to be clear; are you saying that all porn actors have to be on drugs to perform?Again, we're talking about degrees. Sure there's drug use in Hollywood. Add to that on the stage of Broadway and in rock venues everywhere around the world. And in corporate boardrooms. And in parish rectories. Drug use is not unique to porn.
What is different is that in the porn industry, some performers are either self-medicating or being drugged in order to enable them to perform, begging the question of ability to legally consent. This isn't speculation, this is a spectre raised by performers themselves.
Right, and a subset of hollywood studios sexualize kids in order to sell products.Sexual abuse of the underaged occurs to some degree in every business or institution in which there is mixing of adults in kids- but only (a subset of) pornographers actually market it as a product for sale. That's a key distinction.
So really your "moral dilemma" isn't so much what is happening, just the extent to which you perceive it to be happening? The only difference between Hollywood and porn is the amount of coverage it gets when something happens.It's a matter of degrees.

Sexualizatuon of kids is bad, and it's not limited to Hollywood.Right, and a subset of hollywood studios sexualize kids in order to sell products.
No, the difference is the degrees of actual problematic behavior. Media attention has zero to do with it- the incidental vices of Hollywood are the business model of porn.So really your "moral dilemma" isn't so much what is happening, just the extent to which you perceive it to be happening?

Huh? Did you just confuse Dannyalcatraz for me?delericho said:Like Bullgrit, I find that each of these inherently conflicts with something in my ethics.
Underage porn is illegal and falls outside the bounds of what we consider 'porn'. HS didn't ask if you'd work in kiddie porn, he asked if you'd work in porn.
