It's seriously a shame you are being downvoted for this comment.

Odd, was it critical of Reddit or the appearance of being anti pornography (I’m just extremely anti child porn and other things like sex slavery/trafficking).

  So what if you were anti pornography? One of the many many many problems with pornography is that it often crosses the line into violence, promoting illegal sexual fantasies, actual human trafficking and crimes, etc. Etc.

  Sex trafficing is not a real thing. It's more common to be trafficed as a low-wage worker, sometimes partially with your own participation, eg as a servant or working at an extended family restaurant. Sex trafficing is just something police like to bring up at press conferences when they arrest women for prostitution. Often they don't actually charge anyone with it though, it just sounds cool to say so they do it.

      My information on the topic comes from actual sex workers or women who know them (eg aminadujean, Naomi Wu) whose experience is that anti-trafficing is usually used to try to criminalize their work for their own protection.

        > anti-trafficing [sic] is usually used to try to criminalize their work I understand you have anecdotes from 2 women which describe non-coerced criminalized sex work, which is not sex trafficking. My information comes from decades of global, publicly available and verified data. Sex trafficking is a real thing, and you delegitimize its victims when you say otherwise. https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/136020.pdf https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/136020.pd...

        (you really don't have to put the emphasis on how much you dislike their spelling of trafficking, everyone can see it's a direct quote and it distracts from the rest of your post)

        The spelling's wrong, not disliked. To your point--it's poor form to mark the same mistake twice.
