Tomato tomahto. A bad decision is a choice. She made several bad choices to end up where she ended up. That’s just common sense. Most bad roads people go down originated from a string of bad decisions. It’s not usually just one bad decision.
At this point you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
Anyone with a brain can read what I wrote and understand what I’m saying. Not agreeing with my two points is fine, but you’re not even doing that. You’re trying to make it a battle of semantics and I’m frankly not interested.
My two points were simple and hardly controversial:
1) it’s an objectively good thing for a popular ex pornstar to bash the industry as it could serve as a warning to those thinking of entering the industry. This isn’t complicated and generally understood to be a good thing in all sorts of scenarios. Ie, ex junkie trying to keep people off drugs. Ex alcoholic trying to keep people off booze. Ex liberal trying to keep people from being morons. I could go on and on.
2) while she made poor choices/decisions, no one should be past redemption save very few types of offenses (ie child predators). If redemption from mistakes weren’t a possibility, we’d all be screwed. That includes you.
I agree with your first point, but only partially agree with your second - there's some things that are not redeemable, and giving away something that's supposed to be a sacred bond to every Tom, Dick and Harry for ego kibbles is one of those things.
Well, I wouldn’t date or marry her to be sure.
So I don’t mean “redemption” in that regard, for me personally.
But that’s subjective, and there are guys out there who would take on a rehabilitated pornstar. That’s their choice. Not the one I would make, and obviously not one you would make.
I don’t disagree about the sanctity of sexual intimacy, either. I also wasn’t a virgin the first time I got married. And obviously I’m not one now as I’m about to get married in the next few months. My fiancée doesn’t hold that against me, which is her choice. There’s nothing I can do about my past now. I can’t go unmarry and unfuck my exwife. I wish I could, but I can’t. But what I can do is be a faithful husband to my new wife.
But something like commuting the sentence for a child rapist? Hell naw. Some things, the only redemption one can reasonably hope for is with God and not man.
