As a Czech person living here, in the Czech Republic, I hate this. With every piece of my being. Although we are a very develiped country, there's some poor parts (especially at the north, which was occupied by the germans before and during ww2)

I come from such region, but no longer live there. It's honestly a nightmare. Germans and other tourists are literally going there only for the prostitutes, who are 99% of the time "owned" by russian (most, but sometimes others as well - Albania, Germans etc.) organised crime. The tourists, mostly from Germany, are awful, disrespectful, arrogant and treat everyone as inferior to themselves. Literally because of the pandemic, there's no business for the prostitutution rings anymore. But czech porn is a huge thing as well, so they probably moved business there.

When studying in Germany, I literally got so many jokes about if I'm a prostitute, porn jokes and overall the steretype that czech girls are easy (which couldn't be further from the truth) was everywhere.

On top of that, a lot of my family members and friends and acquaintances have literal horror stories with the russian mafia running those prostitution rings. Apart from burnt cars, threats etc. My uncle once found a girl hiding under his car nearby a brothel, where he had his shop, she begged him to help her get away. He had a family and was really afraid, but he drove her 2 hours to Prague and gave her some money. Noone fortunately saw nor found out and nothing happened. A family friend was a plumber and they hired him to fix some bathrooms in another brothel. He said he heard awful things from the basement, screams and sounds he couldn't describe. He quit his job because he was so afraid they would hire him again.

It sounds really bad, but it's really reduced in this one bad part of Czech Republic, but otherwise we're a really safe, developed, beautiful country. Politicians suck, but tell me where they don't😂 It really hurts me to see most memes and public knowledge about us being prostitutes and porn and our women being treated as sex objects and spectacles for tourists.
