That’s the whole conservative narrative: The success of the sex worker, the minority, the queer, is at the expense of the moral white man. All to distract that the actual reason things are worse is because of the rich man.
The problem is more with the perception of disrupting the “correct” social hierarchy. Conservatives have no trouble taking money from, or being served by their “lessers” in society. This includes sex workers. It’s when the underclass elevate themselves or exceed their “betters” do they have a problem.
In this case: driving a big showy pickup truck - a coveted symbol of buying power - that shouldn’t be obtainable.
I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.
I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said
“I don’t feel bad for white people.”
And honestly
I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history
But also
Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.
This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still

Mildly related.
