My opinion on them is the same as whatever opinion the sex workers have on them

    If you support the sex workers, this is the main answer. If you like them but not their clients how is that supposed to work economically?

    The Nordic or neo-abolitionist model exists. Sweden was the first nation to implement it I think. Selling sex is legal, buying is not. Seems to work for them

    You've got that backwards. In Sweden, buying is illegal, selling is not. Essentially turning the customer into a rapist and the seller into a victim. And rightly so! Considering that most women selling sex are doing so because of human trafficking, or at least coercion or desperation, it's cruel, immoral, and ironic that they are criminalized in the rest of the world outside of Sweden and the other countries that have followed their model.

    Men who pay for sex are the driving force behind human trafficking.

    It's pretty straight forward, really.

    Can't make a proper argument- check

    Must rely on memes and gifs to communicate- check

    On the rare occasion they actually put their big boy pants on and write some text it's super offensive/racist/bigoted- check

    Hexbear user confirmed.

    Yeah this. And until I find out, unfortunately my mind goes to the stories I’ve heard. I know that’s uncharitable in the same way that it’d be uncharitable to do the same thing but replace sex work with grocery work or any other mundane customer service job. But yeah that’s where my mind goes
