Intergalactic Summit

It has taken me many years and untold expense to finally be able to say I have rescued one mission Exotic Dancers from exploitation and a life of misery by the Amarr and Caldari.

I wish to thank all those who willingly transferred some to me, sold them to me, allowed me to rescue them from death cans, etc.

Providing jobs and retraining for those who wish it is still an ongoing endeavor and they do make very hard working, loyal crew members.

For those who still wish to see these ladies get a better life, I will still except transfers and will relocate them at my expense.

I am quite sure that many workers in the State are happy and prosperous. But many in Amarr and Caldari space seem to have leanings that favor the behavior of Mr. Nauplius in regard to these ladies.

Gods and spirits, you Gallente are as arrogant and meddling as you are ignorant. The Caldari water trade, especially the fūzoku, goes back in one form or another since before the Raata Empire. Today it's one of the most lucrative and well regulated industries in the State, comperable in size, laws, and complexity to gambling on Mind Clash. Being an exotic dancer in the State, especially where your ability to do your job well provides plenty of room for upward mobility (I think you'll find more than a few well connected business women in the State were involved in the industry at one point or another), is a pretty fair deal that most young men and women would jump at the chance to do willingly. That's already more than I can say for many of the prostitutes you see in Gallente human trafficking rings.

I'm still not all that clear on the stance that most Amarr take, especially out here in Providence, but it seems to me that exotic dancing is seen as more of a holy art form and a sacrament than a strictly a sex symbol. As prostitution and pornography is illegal within the Empire, every Amarr exotic dancer I've ever met are far more comperable to priestesses or (if you are well connected) old fashion courtesans for the nobility. It was a bit of an odd transition for me as a Statesman, and I still don't entirely get how these cultural loopholes exist in Amarr. Still, my point still stands that exotic dancers in the Empire are extremely well off.

Meanwhile, you kakku bastards in Federation are the only major empire that has a consistant issue with forced prostitution, criminal human trafficking, a booming porn industry that throws away young women like spoiled meat, rapid social degredation, rampant sadomasochism, and an overall horrible quality of life for your sex workers. You haven't just "saved" perfectly safe and comfortable exotic dancers from a happy life, you've introduced them to an even more dangerous culture and have employed them as starship crew, easily the single most dangerous job in New Eden. All because you're too ignorant to learn the culture that these individuals come from before assuming that the life you force upon them will be superior.

Classic frakking Gallente.

It's all about the context.

See, an interpretive exotic dance production of "The Scriptures" is completely different, to the normal dancer-on-a-podium thing.

Unfortunately, they will never be Saved until they will be brought into Amarr.
