When you put it like that...I still think the strip club comparison was weird because I can think of at least one other other common and far less contentious career-path with an interview/try-out process similar to this:

Acting.

Is there perhaps something deeper you want to say about sex workers that’s going unsaid right now?

Acting is apt; however, at least in principle you’re doing a screen test given you want to ensure acting ability as well as photogeneity. But we also know the colloquial acting couch.

Strip clubs don’t care what your skills are, they mostly look for the eye candy their clientele seeks. Video is similar in that it doesn’t care about skills other than maybe being able to present yourself at the cost of all other attributes.

There are a lot of really interesting assumptions and projections being made about a number of classes of people going on in this mindset.

But okay.

Thanks for clarifying and sharing your perspective.

A service such as this would save Harvey Weinstein a ton of time.
