Bored Panda reached out to Lainey again to get to know more about her creative process. We asked her where she gets inspiration and motivation for her work. The artist replied that besides getting inspired by her own experience as a woman, she also follows a variety of content creators from psychologists, spiritual pages, body-positive influencers, mom influencers, and other inspiring people to "understand more about matters thousands or even millions of women go through."

    Since the majority of Lainey's illustrations are about women, we got curious whether she receives some feedback from men that are following her on social media. The artist replied that only 5% of her audience is men and she has experienced two kinds of interactions with them on different ends of a spectrum. "Some men are really warm and kind and express their support and understanding, ask about what they can do better, or tell me that they are having conversations about the topics I bring up with their families or friends. On the other hand, unfortunately, the majority of comments and messages from men are deeply misogynistic or they are trying to force aggressive arguments. Nothing I engage in, we are clearly not on the same page."

    Lainey revealed that she receives countless requests from teachers from all over the world to get permission to print out her illustrations for their classrooms, which shows that this medium seems to express a message very well.

    The artist shared that if all goes well, she's going to start writing her book very soon! "Besides being an illustrator and content creator I’m also an author (my first book came out in my native Hungarian in 2014) and it’s time to share my story along with drawings and the wisdom I picked up about womanhood over the years!"

    I think a lot of the problem here is that we have created a situation where sex work is most often done by exploited people (not that other people aren't exploited, but it's not the industry standard) and the people doing that exploiting have motivation to make sure the work remains seen as shameful and fringe so they can keep the workers and the customers from having power and it also plays right into the pseudo-religious forgiveness industry to maintain guilt. Beyond that, sex work tends to make the workers vulnerable to violence even when not marginalized because the work is, by nature, personal and intimate, and something that is itself violence if not consensual (and it genuinely can be hard for a third party to sort out consent even with the best intentions and great wisdom. Having said all that, we have great evidence that destigmatizing, legalizing, and regulating sex work makes it safer and logically, with modern medicine, there is no reason to shame sexually active people.

    I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with sex workers/prostitution/etc, the problems come in with the violence, excessive drugs, and other abuse

    Because some professions and indoors are i inherently not respectable and harm society by simply existing. This is a bigger issue than just sex workers, the porn industry as a whole is bad for society.

    Is the left one literally the president? If not then i don't see why any of them should be less respected than the other.

    Honestly there is a ranking system to jobs = respect. Most people are going respect a really good dentist more over a really good janitor. Importance of both jobs are equal. We need both jobs. One could argue we need more janitors. They both deserve respect. One is just more impressive and requires more training and risk.

    Hit man are equally to the people in the army. Heckers are equally to programmers. Scammers are equal to sellers. Corupt politician can if we try to change our opinion to be considered great rulers. Thefts are just people who know how to get things for the least amount of money.

    The first two- yes. The last one, absolutely not. Sexual paraphilias nearly always develop from childhood sexual abuse. People need professional therapy to heal, not BDSM, which can often make their disorders worse, and will leave them vulnerable to exploitation and further abuse.

    That is not true ! I know people in this industry that are very high educated, and have a very stable private life beside being a sexworker. The stigma is the problem, not the people who do this work !

    because some professions need more hard work and dedication than others. People respect the hard work that goes into making a person a doctor/engineer/lawyer etc. then there are strippers and more glorified ones from insta(calling themselves as influencers) , all that requires is to remove clothes. So, respect is proportional to the effort one has made in making herself. The magnitude of

    If they are humans they diserve the same amount of respect. Humans deserve respect. Regardless if they are a president, lawyer, teacher, janitor, cook, unemployed, or 3 years old.

    I've worked in 4 of the largest callcenters in in the country, I'd extimate about 70% of people working under the influence. That some people do it doesn't mean everyone does, that you think thas wrong doesn't mean everyone agree, if you are worried that happens often in that profession then the only way to regulate it is through legalizing it. Have youbheard about the prohibition and what we learned during that period?

    I love the new do what you want mentality cuz IDC if you wanna show anything you want online for money. I won't stoop that low because I have kids, since I went to public school. The teasing/bullying whatever you want to call it even when you had an attractive parent was bad. Imagine having videos of like your mom added on top of it. Those OnlyFans kids are going to have one hell of a time. I'd go into the therapy game if anyone is looking for a career to take off in about 10 years.
