Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I don't think you understand that it's not for porn sake, these aren't all hot coffee scenes and such. It sounds like actors had to rape and harm people for dramatic effect, like you'd see on TV (e.g. Game of Thrones comes to mind). While it's not really my cup of tea either, I think it can certainly amp up the tension and suspense. Far from pointless.
The problem in this case is a matter of disclosure; Video Game companies are not used to walking the same thin line with actors as TV and Movie producers (who still haven't fully grasped it either but have gotten better, e.g. having consent coaches on staff and such).
