While the social comportment finishing school lessons are appreciated, it’s a bit rich to moralize about chat-room toxicity while hard-wiring into the reaction bar contemptuous one-click micro insults [this guy …] for ridicule, dismissiveness, and sarcastic sneering.

unfortunately an obvious trolling attempt in the OP

I have no idea who marylander1940 is, but I'm having trouble seeing a "troll" attempt in his simple, matter of fact question. A troll effort isn't that obvious to me, and it bothers me that a moderator would jump to this conclusion. (Maybe there is something I don't know.) Here lies the problem with judging words on a platform like this.

I don't know the percentage, but I assume many people who hire sex workers do so in large part based on looks or type, and if porn star looks act as any litmus test, Mr. TxDaddyBear might have a difficult time getting hired by Falcon Studios. We can all agree that while there may be a market for TxDaddyBear, based on ads, he falls into less than 1% of types. Given what is obvious about ad offerings, is marylander1940's question really harmful in any way? Have any of you ever been to a marketing meeting at any corporation? These types of questions have to be asked if you want to keep your job.

We’ve been through this. Whatever the intent and the ensuing commentary, if you don’t want your plausible deniability wearing a trenchcoat you would best frame your topic opener more neutrally, eg, a positive statement about market diversity, or the usual ‘any experience?’, and avoid setting up for yes / no answer based on appearances. Or simply recognize chacun ses goûts and skip posting.

Perhaps. If only we all would think before we speak.

I think this is less about whether a market exists and more about how the question is being asked.

When you take a real person’s body and frame it as is there a market for this, it stops feeling like a business discussion and starts feeling like public evaluation. Whether intentional or not, it opens the door for people to pile on, scrutinize or reduce someone to how they measure up.

The broader impact in my opinion isn’t just on the person in the ad, but on anyone reading this who sees themselves in that body type or age bracket. It reinforces the idea that certain bodies are up for debate, or more importantly, somehow less valid.

I guess the bigger question is why are we even doing this? He clearly has a market. He has reviews. So what’s the purpose of dissecting it like this?
