On top of that there is a loooooot of shady shit going on.
Drugs. Lots of drugs. All of them. All at once.
Jerks getting on blacklists just to circumvent them and end up on stage again just to beat the shit out of another actor/actress. There is a good chance that you unknowingly watched rape at some point.
You get persuaded a lot as a porn star. To fuck people you don’t wanna fuck with, to do things you don’t wanna do.
And then there are the fans, oh boy. Imagine being the target of a troll campaign and the trolls have literally terabytes of ammunition against you. They get really disgusting and you get harassed online and in RL all the time.
If you somehow have a family life going on, they will also be targeted by that shit. Retired porn actresses want to have children but they can’t, because they don’t want their kids to live through that hell.
Luckily not a porn star myself. Just read a ton of AMAs and articles on the subject. The more you inform yourself about what’s going on behind the scenes, the less you actually want to watch porn. It’s a mood killer to say the least.

It’s a major reason why I only watch independent sex worker stuff now. And even then you can’t be 100% sure…
Yeah, wasn’t there a thing with Amaranth’s husband abusing her and forcing her to stream?
Guess only doujinshi are safe…
2d means no consent necessary and no worries beyond artist mistreatment or underpayment by the publisher.
Which is a molehill compared to the mountain of issues in the actual sex work industry.
