@kkarhan @F3715H @[email protected] @kobilacroix Hello, you blocked me before deciding to argue, so I had to pull out my alt I haven't used for a year, but #no, #not #pwned!

Sweden has a ban on prostitution, not sex work in general. Porn is legal, and not even heavily discouraged. Furthermore, Sweden has much stronger free speech protections than demanded by international law, even if producing porn was illegal a porn prize wouldn't be.

Furthermore, the ban on prostitution is not because Sweden "hates sex workers", if you even glance at the preparatory materials (förarbeten, SOU, etc.) of the law, you can clearly note the law is specifically written to protect this category of sex workers despite criminalization. The law is written as is due to the rampant trafficking and violence involved in the business of prostitution, so that the women in the industry can report criminal behavior without being in fear of repression. Additionally, the Swedish government has no interest in further punishing sex workers, but rather providing help so that they may do other work.

Also, the comment about not being able to insult nations is dumb. You can insult groups of people.

@frogeafterdark @kobilacroix @hummingbird @F3715H parrotting #SWERF arguments don't make them less wrong!

  • Just like earth doesn't become less round because be allow flatearthers to roam freely.

The problems cited are precisely becaise of said criminalization, as only a legalozed marked can be controlled, regulated and where necessary policed.

  • It's absurd prohibiotion logic that defies the logic, regardless if sexwork, weapons or drugs.

Instead organized crime gets yet another industry to rentseek and control because landlords get penalized if they rent out a condo to a sexworker (even if they never use it for their work) among other things.

  • All it does is put sexworkers in a precarious position and thus make them prey for said organized crime as they can't use legal services.

The supply and demand doesn't change, but instead of society as a whole or the state said organized crime gets to charge an absurdly high tax rate.

  • This isn't even that hard. Ask ANY Sexworkers (past or present) and the overwhelming majority will confirm this.

But that would necessitate talking with them, not about them!

  • Given you just vomited into my mentions AGAIN I see no reason to unblock you but merely note this as ban evasion since you doubled-down on regurgitating proven bullshit instead of asking yourself "Why did I get blocked? Is it because I did the Fediverse equivalent of 'throwing feces at someone's front door whilst driving-by'??"

If you want to honestly apologize after you thought about it you'll find means to do so.

  • But for me, this is where I go off.
