These would be pimps, not whores.

I think you should just ignore the language and see what he's trying to say. I can definitely see that he's just speaking with the words he knows. 'Whores' = 'Sex Workers', and suddenly it sounds a bit nicer. We have certain standards of language that may be inaccessible to someone who is not a native speaker and does not live in a native english speaking country, it shouldn't take away from the meaning of what people who use inappropriate words are trying to say.

Also pimps don't recruit, they manage. This is human trafficking.

No, we just reacting to you conflating victims, whores, pimps, recruiters and for some reason primadonnas into one big group. Under article specifically about Epstein victims and not about Epstein co-defendants.

Also, the "woman around 20" is very new limitation since your original comment included teenagers. Plus, Epstein victims did included underaged girls.

No? Im saying engage him on the merit of his argument and not his terrible choice of words.

a whore, a pimp, a victim, sex worker, primadonna ... I believe an adequate investigation is ongoing and we will know who's who, right?

The article is specifically about where the victims were paid from.

While whore and sex worker is the same thing with different judgement slapped onto it, recruiter, victim, pimp and primadonna have massively different meanings.
