I never understood why a distinction is made between porn stars and prostitutes. Ok so a camera is involved, and the guys in the shoots aren't the ones paying... except often they are.
One variety of whoring is no more or less shameful than another. If someone thinks "sex work" is positive then that means All Sex Workers Matter.

They're legally distinct because you can win a poker game by sheer skill and not luck or chance
Two differences that come to mind:
Prostitutes have sex with more, poorly vetted people and thus are more likely to spread disease.
Porn stars and their viewers don't cause the same social decay that johns and streetwalkers trawling the streets do.
