I'm feeling sad about the reaction to the recent shooting. Though the shooter specifically expressed sex worker targeted hatred, and though sex workers experience a much higher % of violence than asians, I've seen only a tiny fraction of the solidarity given to sex workers.

Were they actually sex workers? Is there proof of that? Massages aren't inherently sexual. And the shooter saying he was trying to get rid of temptation doesn't mean they performed sexual acts.

Massage parlors are often sex worker establishments; the locations in question were listed on erotic review sites, and apparently he'd visited there before and specifically cited sex as a motivation.

Yeah, it sounded to me like these were places he patronized in the past.
