Duke Student by Day
A Duke student named Lauren was caught in a scandal that outed her for her decision to perform in porn. In the clip we watched from a news channel called The Young Turks they discussed how she should've known she'd eventually be recognized but they're defending her against the bullying and death threats brought upon her by her peers. They don't understand why she's upset about being "outed" but they also think, if you don't agree with it fine but don't harrass her. In another clip on a student news channel called Take Part the students discuss how if you work in porn people are bound to recognize you but say she's a grown woman and can make her own decisions. The difference between the two reports is that Take Part doesn't understand why it's even a story, it shouldn't be considered news while The Young Turks recognize it as a story because of the bullying aspect of it. In this instance I think people would be a lot happier if they just minded their own business and let her do what she needed to do to pay for college.
Yeah I think the whole story is just kind of sad. There are thousands of people who have performed in pornography, but for some reason people thought it mattered that she was also a college student. She did, not only what she needed to do for some exxxtra cash, but she found liked it and did what she wanted. The people who sent her hate mail and death threats are just pathetic and jealous.
ReplyDeleteMinding your won business is a thing of the past. It sucks but that is how it is because everyone thinks that they need to comment on stuff, assuming that people will care. Especially if someone is being bashed like this student, it becomes a free for all because there are never any repercussions. We were all in high school at on point, we know that everyone has Twitter fingers.
