hey witcher moots, let's have a chat. prostitution is a thing in the series. it's a thing in real life. sex workers are real people. when you're writing about this or any fandom?? and you're including sex work? pls be respectful to sex workers and don't exclusively call us whores
saying "whore" or "slut" is great for consensual kink, hell yes, that is sexy my guys. there are characters who use whore/etc as curses, slurs, yes. geralt says "you son of a whore" more than once probably. but in your narration? sex worker, sex work. just say sex worker.
and tbh i am guilty of doing this myself (i have gone back and changed my wording to be more respectful), so not everyone is perfect, and it's not always obvious. plus the language of the series doesn't help. but we don't need to perpetuate harmful language, so don't.
