    That’s pretty weak argument. Extreme sports professionals also do it for work, they need to get up from their beds and ride bike or climb even on those mornings they really wouldn’t want to.

    But they’ve chosen to do so.

    Someone else filming their unconventional porn for onlyfans also chooses to do that unconventional thing. There would be 100 easier ways to get paid yet they choose the extreme

      it’s exploitation…

      i don’t think that bare knuckle boxing is an ethical thing to support either, even if people sign up for it “willingly”

        It’s no exploitation any more than any other “voluntary” labor. Sex work is is work as any other, there’s people who love to do it and there’s those who do not. But you shouldn’t belittle someone else’s choice because you don’t like it

          Surely there’s a limit though, right? Like, you’re not a proponent of bum fights are you? Just because someone is agreeing to do something for money doesn’t make it inherently ethical.

        Bare knuckle boxing is actually less harmful that boxing with gloves, you can’t hit as hard so you’re less likely to cause more serious long-term injuries like brain damage

          actually you heard that on joe rogan right?
          bare knuckle boxers used to get their eyes knocked out of their sockets…
          gloves are better but i also think boxing with gloves is brutal, primitive, exploitative, and immoral…
          p.s. why do you think most professional boxers are minorities?

            Lol what a wanker, have you ever put yourself through any sort of discomfort? People like doing things that aren’t healthy, get over it, have a beer, eat a pizza and jump out the window, you will see that some of it is fun, and that throughout you will remain undisturbed because noone gives a fuck. Maybe you should also give less fucks

            Haven’t ever listened to Joe Rogan, never have and never will

            I cannot find a single article mentioning anything like “eye knocked out of their sockets”, but even if that has happened in not saying serious injuries don’t happen, they’re just not as common as in gloved boxing

            I guess you mean in USA? Probably because boxing is more popular sport in low income families on big cities, and in USA that includes proportially large amount of black people because of reasons… This is purely a guess based on Hollywood knowledge, so I might be very wrong.

            Looking through the wikipedia list of current world champions, it’s not in any way dominated by “minorities” as in people with heritage from country other than for which country they’re competing.
