Outed for doing porn to pay her way through school, Belle Knox is yet another victim of western culture's obsession with slut shaming and outing girls for being sexual or preforming in porn, while at the same time ensuring that porn remains a billion dollar industry. Knox (not her real name), a Duke university student, made the mistake of disclosing her porn star status to a fellow student - and of course, the entirely expected outcome is that said student spread the word. She then posted online about the experience, only to have it blow up - to the point that, cover completely blown, she came clean about her porn name, face, and eventually, real name. Here's what we have to say about porn: In short, if you don't like it, don't watch it - and if you do like it, and do watch it, why the hell are you attacking girls who are in it? Knox didn't do much that many a girl who stripped her way through college hasn't done, and we've all known a girl or two like that. Sometimes they fall in love with the "easy" money and keep doing it; many times they try to put their past behind them and move on, only to have it bite them in the ass later when news of their former careers makes it to their employer, or prospective beau. Knox seems to have a level head about her porn career, and beyond that has now written articles (under her real name) for publications like Time magazine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yX1QgN4HvQ So in the end, it's Knox getting the last laugh. She's now uber-famous, while no one cares about the kid who spilled the beans.
