Access denied: Thai porn creators face restrictions on their rights

[webfact]

 

By Natcha Patanasophon

 

At this moment, Thai adult content creators are forced to work in the shadows, labelled as criminals, despicable, and even less than human. But supporters of the legalization of sex work say that for those who want to pursue careers in porn, Onlyfans or other platforms, they don’t have full access to labor rights.

 

Recently, porn creators have been criminalised for simply trying to scratch out a living. Many within the sex worker rights community argue that adult content creators are caught between a rock and a hard place.

Following the arrest of now the Onlyfans content creator, Kainaoa, on pornography charges on September 21, adult content creators and supporters have continued to call for the legalisation of pornographic videos and sex work.

Yes it is somewhat akin to the drug dealer who is criminalized for being an unlicensed pharmacist.

True.
Porn, a horrible name. I thought that there are many Thai people with that name.

Unlike a rock and a soft place.

This keeps coming up, again and again.  Porn is the standard English transliteration for the Thai name  pronounced Pawn, which is how porn should be pronounced when you see it.  It would be nice if the traditional transliteration from Thai to English did make more sense to an average English reader.

They don't face restrictions on their rights, they have no rights because what they are doing is illegal.

In your analogy, at least someone is allowed to sell (and manufacture) the drugs legally. According to the current scenario in the porn industry, no one is allowed to effectively manufacture or sell.

There are many activities that were once considered illegal but once the rights were established/agreed the laws were found to be nonsense. Laws against divorse, contraception, privacy, abortion, fair trial - need I go on.

Probably.  You haven't said much of any value.  Just as some things become decriminalised, still others remain criminal or are newly criminalised.  "Some things from the past that were criminal now are not" doesn't really contribute much to the discussion.

 

You haven't made any sort of convincing argument other than "because workers have rights, things that are illegal should be made legal so that people can take advantage of those rights".

 

So anything illegal that people can make money from should be legal so that people can claim their rights as workers?

Hmm 

I didn't know that the pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmacies were distributing heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and LSD.  Must be my local Boots is out of those.
