Most porn actors are young girls doing it a few times (as they are required to do more extreme things to stay relevant) and being seen forever.

They also don't think about how easy it will be to identify them in the future as face recognition/matching gets even cheaper.

Your use of the word “girls” implies that the subjects are under the age of legal consent which would classify what you’re talking about as child sex abuse material not porn. If you’re talking about porn you’re talking about people of legal age to consent. Making them women. The difference between those two words is night and day. Legally, ethically and in terms of classification.

In this discussion your choice of words is very important.

I'm wondering is "being seen forever" as big of a deal as it used to be? If you have nudes somewhere on the internet does anyone actually give a shit?

[xiphias2]

Nudes and porn are very different things. Also the answer is yes, there are people who actually give a shit about who they marry / date / hire for work

> there are people who actually give a shit about who they marry / date / hire for work

So are those who are not offended that their employee did some nude modeling or sex work are... careless or inconsiderate in some way?

Should hiring or dating include some kind of background check based on puritanical definitions of "moral character"?

Perhaps people who think that way should wear some kind of scarlet letter. That way I can be sure they'll never be involved in my hiring pipeline.

[xiphias2]

I don't know what ,,should'' happen, there have been many firing because of sex work related reasons.

Also those background checks won't be the official reason these people won't get hired, it's always easy to create an alternative reason, just how it works with agism, sexism and racism.

[paulryanrogers]

Thanks for clarifying. When I read "actually give a shit" it suggests to me that the writer thinks those who aren't concerned have committed some moral failure.

I don't think most porn stars care about getting rejected by FAANG

If they cared about their reputation, they wouldn't be porn stars
