To call it whiteness mentality is missing the fact that racism is a trait that can exist amongst any nationality. It may be predominantly white in Australia, but we have a white colonial history. Other non-white countries have it too.

Doesn’t most of it go to landfill anyway due to contamination? Every share house I’ve lived in didn’t separate their waste. I used to empty it on the drive way and sort it on bin nights but eventually gave up. Australians are lazy as fuck. Apartment blocks are the worst. Found a microwave in the recycle bin. We’re fucked.

I don’t have anything against OF or sex work, but I’ve always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work?
