this really isn't meant to be a callout, just more so a gentle request, but can we in fandom please stop using "sex work AU" as a ~sexy kinky prompt~ on prompt lists?

sex work is the lived experience of so many marginalized people, and while some sex workers may find their work empowering and sexy, survival sex work is absolutely a thing.

sex work is at its core, a profession, and one that puts its practitioners at extremely high risk of violence or criminalization in most cases. it's not a kink, and it's a complicated topic that is badly misinterpreted by a lot of mainstream media
