[Bustle] Please Respect Mia Khalifa’s Rebrand

She hasn't really turned it around though. She's just gotten more successful at exploiting her notoriety.
Which I think is kind of key here; doing porn doesn't make a person "bad", but it does undeniably make them notorious. Its a short-cut to fame, and like all short-cuts it has its price - especially in the public consciousness.

What I kinda dislike, is when this script gets flipped and in order to gain currency the person acts like the thing that made them famous was "bad", and that they were victimized by it.
I don't think doing porn makes somebody "bad". But making porn can have a toll on people, you might feel forced to do things you don't want to do, you might feel ashamed after doing it, you might feel uneasy when people recognize you in the street... well, it's quite possible you might wish you never did it.

Mia Khalifa is making a good living out of the fame she got doing porn, but even she being the 1 in 1,000,000 most succesful actress in the industry, she is partially remorseful and thinks a lot on what her life would have been if she hadn't gotten in the industry.

So I don't think people who do porn are bad, but that porn can hurt people and teenagers shouldn't do it casually. It might have unwanted repercusions on the rest of their life.
 
No.

"Respect her brand change. She used to do porn, but now does Only Fans still using the porn name that made her famous" is functionally equivalent to saying something like "Respect his brand change. He used to be a dangerous arms dealer but now just sells cocaine in the street corner using the gang nickname that made him famous."

Still not contributing anything positive to society.

Respect in this context means "Don't question".

Imagine typing that wall of text over a porn star's clothing line or whatever.

Pretty much. Interested to see if she has any regrets later in life for taking quick money this way.

Ehhh... I don't know, this post strikes me too much as trying to paint porn actors as "victims." Sure, there may be sad/tragic situations where someone is in porn because they're a victim of trafficking or whatever. But as far as American professional porn goes, I think a lot of these people enter the industry on their own free will.

LIke Mia Khalifa did. I mean, it's right there in the article -- her EXPRESS, almost sole purpose in initially moving to Miami was to... get a boob job. (And according to several porn experts in this thread, apparently a very bad boob job at that.) The article even tries to paint this as some sort of victim-driven act ("oh she got a boob job because she felt bad she had tiny boobs due to weight loss"... or some such nonsense.) And when she was invited to do porn, she didn't decline.

This whole "rebranding" strikes me as disingenuous because she made money and got fame from porn, had massive regrets, but is now in a similar line of work (OnlyFans), using the fame she got from porn. So I don't buy the article's "she was a victim and is now a champion of female liberation, and a role model to young women everywhere" nonsense.

These people know what they're doing. The Kardashian/Jenner family, who contribute practically zero good to society, built a multi-billion dollar empire on the back of... Kim Kardashian's sex tape.

Where I will give ONE benefit of the doubt is where the article says Mia tried to do honest jobs after porn, but her porn fame got in the way of those. But the article doesn't say much, only that she "tried to change her looks by cutting her hair." Did she apply under her legal/birth name, or did she apply to those jobs as "Mia Khalifa?" Did she try not wearing 4D boob shirts to those jobs? I'm not passing judgement on this particular front but there's a lot that the article leaves out about this phase of her life.

I read way too much of that article before realizing it's probably some marketing puff piece. No thanks.

So she sucked some dicks, and now wants people to realize that she's a business woman. Meh. Not sure life works like that. I don't think she deserves to have people acting like creeps in public, but I don't think she can expect people to not imagine a huge cock being crammed into one or more of her holes when they see her. Ironically, I won't, because I still don't really know what she looks like. I never got into the craze, and never watched more than a few non-ejaculatory minutes watching her scenes. She doesn't tick any boxes for me.

Good for her fans, and good for her finding success in life. But this "rebrand" is just marketing to drive more people to her social media accounts.

Using her name and porn career to her advantage left and right to get richer. Complains about her porn career.

Gtfo, make your money and stop whining.

Will rub one out to her vids from time to time if I feel like it.

I'm in doubt between two thoughts here:
I believe in the right of people to change and turn their lives around, so I wish her the best.
I don't think she is a good example for teenage girls though, so I think she shouldn't be in social media pretending everything is awesome in her life when it's not.
Her current career is built entirely on her previous one. If she had chosen a complete different career that wasn't dependent on fame, then absolutely, it's another page. But she's still reaping the benefits of her previous work, so that's what she should be remembered for.

You haven't left your past behind you if you still willingly and knowingly benefit from it and exploit it.

"rebrand"

Then post with a picture in a top that literally highlights her tits. I'm confused.

Be better for her to just own it and say she made mistakes and is now stronger. Instead she is blaming everyone else for what she did.

yes, but
she is wearing a SHIRT

Damn. She do the pron?

Give it time my friend, they have to fail as an influencer first, then they'll do some "tasteful" non nude onlyfans, then when that fails they are on a couch surrounded by dicks happily for a few hundred bucks. Then years later after using that fame from porn they'll vilify it like they didn't make their bank doing porn and then we return back to this thread with her asking you to respect her "rebrand" as clothes wearer for money.

I'd rather wan,k to a Kardasian. And that ain't easy.

Paris Hilton, no fucking chance.

point being her porn is just as boring.

My only takeaway from this post is remembering how Kim Kardashian beat Paris Hilton at her own game. They both tried the whole "famous for being famous, with a side of amateur porn" schtick, and Kim came out way ahead. Paris became a footnote 😂

She's disgusting.

Speaking of porn actresses, I watched some Elden Ring streamers compilation the other day, and there she was. Sasha Grey herself trying to git gud.

Pornstars playing games on Twitch for simps is a thing, atm. I saw a girl, forget her name, came out on the side, from suggested streamers (lol, I dislike 95% of the suggestions) and.. I didn't know this person, turns out.. when I went to her channel, she was playing Elden Ring, had a LONG fucking health bar, I'm like, omfg... mind you, I barely put anything into health; her bar was long, she summoned someone and was fighting one of the higher end bosses and got smoked. Lol.

Anyway, the notable thing about this person was this; I went to her twitter, saw a pinned picture of her(this was on cinco de mayo) and she had a fucking lime about to pop out of her naked butthole, she was in the missionary position +1 (+1 when the woman is serving the pussy on a silver platter-pose) and in her right hand she was holding what appeared to be a Strawberry Margarita.

Bitches crazy these days.

Kim, came out ahead because she has a curvy body and more attractive face(lol) Her ass made her famous, too.

Good body, avg face, big nose.

There's many other pornstars much hotter.
I still cant believe she made it that big with a face like that. Sunny Leone is way hotter. Other mixed race arab stars like Tiffany Taylor and Anissa Kate are in a league of their own so why did this fugly chick become an internet sensation?

And why is she STILL pulling 32 million tiktok followers like wtf.

Im convinced men just have shit taste in women.
