literal real life amateur porn stars: i was hurt and scared and i regret it
men: wow i can't believe this one sided sex negative garbage, how dare they try to make me feel guilty next time i wanna jerk off to teenagers
when i came on here and saw how low the rating for this is i was shocked for about a second and then i realized this website is full of straight men and god forbid they are made to think critically about the porn they consume or *gasp* feel sympathy for the women being literally abused in the porn they watch everyday. anyway. fuck men.
- I will preface this by saying that I consider myself a sex positive feminist, or feminist ally, which means that I believe any sexual conduct between consenting adults is fine. This includes sex work, such as prostitution or pornography. So, I was naturally interested to see how Hot Girls Wanted was going to portray sex and sex work.
- The first three or four minutes of Hot Girls Wanted is a collage, or a montage technically, of clips used to illustrate the desensitization to sexuality within mainstream society. Its goal is, presumably, to focus on this idea of the exploitation of women, but the issue with this is that several of the clips – from Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” music…
love how most of the people giving this poor reviews are "sex-positive" male feminists, who dislike it because it now makes them realise they can't always argue that porn is empowering for women and that consuming porn is not exempt from criticism under the guise that it is feminist. Tbh I'm glad this film emerged at a time when there were so many think pieces and articles about how it is "empowering" to watch porn and many of the actors in porn love and enjoy their careers and any criticism of porn and porn culture was antifeminist and anti-sexwork. Anyways if i see another man complain about how negative this film is towards the porn industry I will gouge my…
literally the only reason this has such a low rating is because self proclaimed male feminists dont want to feel guilty... just look at the top review
I need a shower. And then another shower. And then an eye shower. And a brain shower. And then one of those decontamination showers they give people after they’ve been exposed to radiation.
If I didn't already hate "male feminists" enough, the reviews for this sure have affirmed it. To preface: I do not support the sex industry, but I support sex workers 100%, I am always on their side, I value their safety and rights, and I will never blame any sex worker for being a part of the industry.
PORN IS NOT FEMINIST. Female empowerment and liberation =/= exploitation. A sex worker as an INDIVIDUAL can find empowerment in their field, and that is completely valid, but porn does not empower women as a population, nor does it further feminism in any way. The porn industry as an institution is potentially the worst perpetrator of degradation and abuse of women. Porn…
God hath forsaken America. Tho I must admit I did search for some of the girls online.
There's pretty much a subgenre of documentaries about sex workers and the adult industry, but Hot Girls Wanted felt more intimate and less fluffy than most. We meet a small stable of girls who work out of a small-timer modelling "agency", curated by a former dishwasher named Riley who uses Craigslist to recruit wannabe porn starlets. He then puts the girls up at his house and helps to find them work on websites that feature amateur, teen porn. The film chronicles one young woman who leaves her Texas home for a life in the adult industry.
It's a troubling expose that could be a major wake-up call to those who believe that today's more relaxed attitude toward the mainstreaming of porn doesn't have serious social repercussions.
Overwhelmingly negative film that blames porn for everything. I believe the industry has a lot of faults, but am also a great believer in making your own decisions and taking responsibility. When a girl doesn't see anything wrong with having racial and sexist slurs hurled at her while she is forced to give a blow job until she literally vomits... is that a girl's responsibility/"fault", or the industry's? This film is much more interested in laying the blame than asking relevant questions.
I want to support female agency, but I get frustrated with reckless behaviour, where girls have sex without protection and then say, "I got 100 dollars to get a Plan B-pill but that's only 40 dollars so that's…
i saw the rating of this on letterboxd and i was shocked by how low it was. but hey this website is dominated by white straight males who feel targeted right now because this documentary made them feel bad for jerking off to teenagers. y’all gross
