I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

    It’s funny that people here are boiling down prostitution (which is what porn is) to “just sex”, that probably says something about social conditions! It’s the natural progression of western feminism that demonizes minority men (particularly Palestinians I might add) & casts slavery as empowerment. Onlyfans top percentile performers are essentially madams due to their relationship to the global system of extraction that subsidizes them. Like the majority of porn, Onlyfans makes most of its money off the same thing Xitter does now—desperate people in third world countries.

    People frame “soft” prostitution as voluntary, but if you’re performing sex acts or doing things which make you uncomfortable that you wouldn’t have done without money, that’s coercion. You are being sexually assaulted. In fact, that is the main draw of “live” porn platforms, being able to coerce women directly into doing things which make them increasingly uncomfortable.

    You should be mindful of the platform’s position in the surveillance + tech bubble as well. Has nobody mentioned it’s an Israeli company? That seems to elicit the disgust that anything Silicon Valley-related ought to, since 2023 anyways
