True. This reminds of porn, whereby, once you're out there, then you're out there. Good luck working with kids or anything involving kids. Even females aren't exempt from the scrutiny. Or any job where guys recognize you, now you're screwed if you have any aspirations to remain anonymous or even lead a normal life. You'll need a community of people supporting you. It seems like an endeavour where the potential for regrets is high. Look up most pornstar bios and they usually end up with them having a hard time readjusting to the regular world and few ever manage to move past their old life that they end up going back to porn cause it's the only family that accepts them, but at the cost of exploiting them more. This might not carry necessarily the same stigma, but the fact that many people treat it the same is problematic.

For everyone who's a pornstar there's another dozen people who used the money to go to college (or whatever their exit is) and start a career.

  > For everyone who's a pornstar there's another dozen people who used the money to go to college (or whatever their exit is) and start a career. Source showing that happens with that frequency? While I'm sure there there exists someone who did porn and used the money to springboard to achieve some happy goal, the idea that's the usual outcome seems like a guilt-alleviating fiction. I don't think it even passes smell test, because my understanding is porn doesn't even pay that well [1].
