What would you do?

[Csmith8827]

I'm forced to work at a movie theater. I'm trying to find another job but I hate anything recorded with a Camera. I'll basically only watch anime. I fell into some shit when I was 12 and I'm now 35. I was basically trafficked through the porn industry up until 6 months ago. I can't forgive what these people have done. I can't support Hollywood. But I desperately need a job to hang on and possibly afford a place to stay. What do I do?

Seems like you haven't got much choice tbf, maybe stick with the job until another opportunity arises

Have you tried applying into grocery stores or fast food? it might be better for you. If i was you and working there was my only option to survive then i would have to power through it.

Unfortunately we live in a very monopolistic society. I don't wanna use windows and support Microsoft but i love playing games so i'm kinda forced into it. Google and Apple are evil but phones are necessary so we are forced to use them. It sucks but living in today's society you support things indirectly all the time.

Just because you are working in a theater does not necessarily mean that you are supporting a bunch of sex traffickers. You are also supporting all of your job colleagues that are depending on you and on that theater to survive. There are many movies made by decent people and decent productions like A24. I know it doesn't make your situation better but redirecting your trauma to something else might help you since you need this job right now.

Having a job at a movie theatre doesn't really mean you're supporting Hollywood, in my opinion. It's just a basic job. Even if nobody filled your place, the theatre will still be showing movies whether you stay or leave.

That being said, maybe try to find something else. If it's making you personally uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from lining something else and leaving. The whole movie theatre gig sucks anyway.

Best of luck to you.
