Is pimping alive and well in Ireland?

There used to be a hooker-house in my apartment building.

I always assumed it was legit, just unlicensed. As in, some cool people making a living in a way frowned upon by a conservative society; really, no harm no foul.

Check this out.

I'll give the dude this if nothing else; if you looked up "pimp" in the pictionary, this is a vaguely accurate depiction of what you'd expect to see.

He's a cool looking bruh.

Or, was a cool looking bruh.

He's not anything any more, according to that article he sleeps with the fishes.

Kind of weird though, all that time the hooker-house was operating a couple doors down from me I used to think, "just folk making a living", but for all I know, this dude or one of the other nine "bro's" listed in that article (apparently awaiting extradition) could have been waiting inside with hacksaws and ice picks.

Kind of creepy.

Was this raised before?

Honest to goodness it's the first I've read/heard about it.

How did you find a newspaper article from May 2021?

I put "how do I become a pimp" into google and it was in the top 5 results.

And all of a sudden I'm reconsidering my career goals.

I always assumed it was legit, just unlicensed.

How could it be legit but unlicensed?

Not exploitative, just not state recognized.

Legitimate as in there's no internal coercion or inherent maleficence, but unlicensed as it goes against the grain of popular culture thus refusal of the state to acknowledge it as a trade.

More nonsensical ѕhitposting op, this time with a visual aid (a news article from over a year ago)

You're banned from AH op - permanently - like I said you would be if you kept this up.
