But from what I gather she wasn't fired on the day she wore it. She wasn't even told to go home. She was fired later on when the internet blew up about it. You don't think that's a little hypocritical of the company?

I agree. I also think blackface is much worse than this. I think the Trayvon Martin blackface costume is the worst I've seen (except maybe the KKK lynching Obama, but I think that's a different category because I think they may have been actual KKK members...)

Rape threats negatively affect all women, not just the women to which they are directed. They remind us that as soon as we step out of line our gender will be used against us. Even if you don't care about this woman you should care about a culture that uses 'rape' as the first weapon of a woman who has…

It's not clear, though, whether she got fired for wearing it to work or that she wore it and everything was ok and then she got fired after the internet shitshow hit. On buzzfeed it seemed like she was fired some time after Halloween.

That's not how empathy works.

Did she get fired for taking it to work, or did she get fired when the internet shit-storm hit?

She didn't bomb them, you know. You think threatening her with death makes the victims feel better?

Sending rape threats to a woman who has transgressed the social order in some way isn't just awful to her. It's awful to all women because the subtext is 'you bitches better not step out of line either, because you know what will happen to you'.

Some people love being part of a lynch mob and they love have a socially-sanctioned target for their ire. The sort of people posting this woman's personal information online and threatening her with rape are exactly the same people who would have - in another place and time - joyfully participated in witch trials or…

*sigh*

They get learning and careers if they want to be in the business of helping ladies birth babies. That's pretty restrictive.

Her body is a gift?

Dude, you're allowed to have kinky sex. Really, you are. As are we all. Just don't try to don the mantle of the 'oppressed' because some people might disapprove of some stuff that you do in private. It doesn't make you oppressed.

Stop trying to make 'kink-shaming' happen. It's not going to happen.

Yes, but the model often wouldn't. A lot of people take advantage of a person's general ignorance of their legal rights.

Exactly! Doing paid work for free is no bueno.

'Fucking' someone for free isn't the same as consenting to being filmed fucking someone for free, especially if said film was going to be distributed for profit.

Adults who wait in line to 'meet' Mickey mouse or Peter Pan or whatever absolutely baffle me.

Oh, and you say that 'if more aspiring porn stars made the same decisions as her maybe they'd be in a better spot'. Well it looks like she wasn't actually paid for those scenes, so there's that. And secondly, she was able to make those decisions because she didn't need the money. Are we supposed to judge workers…

Bloody well said!
