If you seriously believe that, then all I can say is that you are
very naive. Here in the real world, it can definitely matter.

Yeah, human trafficking and prostitution...that's funny stuff. @_@

The "adult entertainment", i.e. porn, industry is run by some slimy
people who get a lot of their "workers" by kidnapping young girls
from other countries, drugging them up, then forcing them into both
prostitution and pornography, oops, I mean "adult entertainment".
There are also a lot of runaways from right here in the U.S. who
get trapped into the same situation. It's a grim "business".

But if you want to believe that interviewers and hiring committees
aren't aware of that, you go right ahead.
