I can't quite get why acknowledging Sasha Grey was a very famous pornstar (if a bit overrated) was sexist. I mean, Resetera can't let go off some out-of-context quotes some minor Internet personality said eight years ago but saying Sasha Grey did porn is sexist?
They pretty much branded it as shameful past that can't be alluded to which is quite ironic.
This is the part that made it extra funny. Her name isn't Sasha Grey! That's a stage name. You pick a stage name in porn so you can drop it and disappear. She dropped porn but kept the stage name and uses it for everything from normal acting to music to writing sex-romance novels to these gaming streams. So even if you knew nothing about her, it's clear she doesn't find it shameful. If you do know anything about her she has long talked about how she did porn because it was fun to her. She does want to be known for more than porn but she's never said she regrets it or spoken ill of it other than when she was backing up some fellow people in that whole "feminist porn" thing. And then they were never condemning porn, but simply industry practices at the time.
It's another example of where they ape progressive things they've seen without ever looking into any of it and then just come off as prudes. Nobody in the thread was condemning "sex work" they were making joking references to someone famous for a lot of things that aren't simple "sex work" as Sasha was fucking nuts* in porn. Yet
somebody clearly got butthurt about it and had to protect the wommins who are not Sasha Grey. This isn't even accounting for the fact that the rule is most likely there because there are ResetERA.com users who make shitty porn under the same username they use on ResetERA.com since I can't imagine a situation in which users on a "progressive forum" would be "condemning sex work" in a way that wouldn't be triggering to some Westerner. You would never be banned for condemning third world sex work that's essentially slavery would you?
Plus the jokes were even incredibly tame, especially for the topic, I'm sure non-pornstar lady streamers have seen worse comments. Especially from capital-G Gamers of which there are none allowed on ResetERA.com.
*Even her Wikipedia page notes that she got famous for asking a co-star to
punch her in the stomach during filming. She was always up for crazy shit.
