some human rights organizations (such as not for sale) have denounced ping pong shows as inherently misogynistic. taina bien-aimé of equality now commented that: "the attitude that [sex work in places like ping pong shows] is empowering gives a green light to traffickers. we're trying to fight the commercial sex trade, not empower the sex trade." some of the performers in ping pong shows in thailand come from poorer neighbouring countries such as myanmar, cambodia, or laos. the closure of factories in thailand during the great recession in the late 2000s led to an increase in unemployment in the country. some women formerly engaged in factory work moved to thailand's red-light districts and ended up working in ping pong shows. bien-aime commented: "working 14 hours [a day] in a factory or blowing ping pong balls out of your vagina should not be a person's only choices in life." although no pain or suffering is generally experienced by female performers during the show, there have been rare accidents in which performers have been seriously and irreparably injured. the inclusion of a ping pong show scene in the film "the adventures of priscilla, queen of the desert" led to the film being criticised on the grounds of sexism and racism.
