while I generally find snark entertaning, I am somewhat serious about this informal poll, so I want to be sure I understand what you are saying: If I advertise on porn, I risk making the statement that my nonprofit condones exploitative behavior (versus merely lasciviousness). Is it any better if the purpose of fundraising is ultimately more virtuous? (that we are channeling exploitation that would have happened anyway - for a purpose outside the closed circle of more porn ads and ads for penis enhancers?)

Thanks!



I use snark because should I dare note that pornography is a largely exploitative business, somebody is going to tell you otherwise.

What does your non-profit do?


A lot of industries are incredibly exploitative. Industry itself is exploitative.


That's a side effect of the industries goal. It isn't the industry!
