If someone posted this already I apologize but I did a quick search and can't find anything but thought it was pretty interesting. I knew chicks that worked as strippers to pay tuition but never met one that did porn. We need the NT Detectives on the case

Story:
It all started when Duke Freshman Thomas Bagley spotted a girl in a pornographic film that looked a lot like his classmate. She admitted that that was her and swore him to secrecy; he then spilled the details at his next fraternity rush event.
Sadly and predictably, the response ranged from people publicly tweeting about how they wanted to bang the Duke freshman porn star:
To anonymous posters on CollegiateACB claiming that she doesn't deserve privacy, respect, or even protection from rape because of her profession ("She should've known what she was getting into" is a common excuse). A sampling below:

As a result, the outed porn star, sat down for an interview with the Duke Chronicle, giving some interesting soundbites about the financial security and sexual empowerment that her job gives her:
On Duke's $60,000 tuition:
In Lauren's case, the backlash threatens to obscure legitimate concerns about the porn industry. She herself has hit back at the Duke Chronicle for calling her "naive" when she asserts that the porn industry is not coercive, or when the writer observed that she "showed off" an iPad and other items, supposedly purchased from her earnings in the adult filmmaking industry. To their credit, the Chronicle has responded by standing by their article, but also decrying the treatment Lauren has gotten from her community:

On why seemingly more respectable professions, like waitressing, are out:
Duke's repressive sexual culture:
And how porn gives her the opportunity express that sexuality:
Yet she has continued getting messages shaming her or asking for sex. "Reputable" websites even offer snide comments about how she could possibly expect privacy when she's given on-campus interviews and been invited into the university's classrooms to lecture on her experience. This all proves her point about the virgin-***** dichotomy, not just at Duke, but in America in general. This phenomenon also played out when high schooler Robert Marucci faced bullying and was allegedly expelled, then merely suspended, for starring in gay porn this past January. Both of these cases seem to show how unacceptable it is for someone to participate in porn, especially if they are still students of a certain age who refuse to apologize for engaging in this type of sex work.

Exactly. People can be critical of porn and the exploitation that occurs in such an industry all they want, but they should do so by affording its participants respect for their perspective and their basic humanity.
