Russ is absolutely the WORST possible person to be the spokesman for the decrim movement. If he managed to get a commercial on TV talking about it's his right to fuck hookers for cheap, some legit sex work group would hire a guy to hit him over the head with a blunt object and haul him off to some CIA blacksite in the middle east and keep him there before he can destroy the whole movement.
Also, it's not surprising he'd put how inconvenient it is for him to get laid as the top reasons for decrim. He's a narcissist, and other people's well being doesn't even register with him. It would never occur to him that putting sex worker safety or making it easier to spot trafficking would be better things to list as the top reasons for decrim.
