By the way, Last Night in Soho is a much better depiction of how sex trafficking in the real world occurs in Western countries, rather than whatever is going on in the imagination of white suburban liberals.

Of course the internet has changed it a little, but not as much as people imagine (mostly, the internet made women and trans people freer of sex traffickers). Often, as depicted in the film, it is confident, ambitious women who are ensnared, who do it “just this once,” and then get caught up in the life and can’t leave.

But I read books and stuff. You know, not just Twitter mythologizing.
