Maybe they don't feel shame about their bodies, so that won't bother them.
look, i get it, i'm the bad guy here, society moved on, etc - but unlike most of you i actually know woment who felt down this rabbit hole. i know women who thought they can just hustle low key "services" als independents on the side, poaching clients via social media, private ads and whatsapp. one of them got roughed up by a pimp for "not paying the fee", got roughed up a second time for talking to the cops and guess what happend, when she wanted to quit and refused to work for said pimp and his wider sex trafficking organisation? or another one who thought it would be easy money to do some onlyfans shootings until she got doxxed, catched a stalker and had to move.
and if you think legal prostitution is any better, think again. have you never wondered why the "girls" in brothels are mostly foreign women? human trafficking is a thing. it's slavery. always was, always will be.
but yeah, let's gaslight young women to prostitute themselves to several degrees under the disguise of "body positivity" and "freedom".
Why would you have a pimp for an OnlyFans account?
those were two seperate examples.
Which one applies to a self-run OnlyFans account?
"or another one who thought it would be easy money to do some onlyfans shootings until she got doxxed, catched a stalker and had to move."
Sorry, missed that. That could happen on Lemmy. It has happened on Reddit. Should we make all social media illegal?
that's not the point, doxxing is illegal in most countries anyways. it's about that most young (!) women already grew up taking selfies and the occasional nude for their bf thinking about monetizing this "for a while". it's a toxic circle where often naive women cater to creeps and potential stalkers, going further down the hole and "some nudes" become "hardcore on request", being groomed by paying customers and then it's not an easy paycheck anymore. it's just like it often happens with porn actresses: "i'll just do some scenes" and some time later they have to take "private appointments" with premium customers, falling down into full fledged prostitution.
onlyfans is especially dangerous, because once they lose control over their content, it's out there and will never go away. and the chance is high that a few years later, when they try to distance themselves from "that phase", it won't be possible, because the internet doesn't forget - have fun with face recognition software. prostitution will never go away, but as a society we shouldn't endose it. it's not the vhs age anymore.
You don't lose control of your content on OnlyFans. You control it the whole time.
yeah, totally.
_Pirating content is illegal, and against OnlyFans' terms of service. But nearly all of the creators spoken to said their images had been leaked and traded by men in other social media and messaging forums.
Some told the BBC their photos had been maliciously sent to family members, or that they had been blackmailed into sharing nudes for free or told they would be made public.
"People are naively lulled into a false sense of security from the paywall, that what's behind it stays behind it," says Honza Cervenka, a lawyer in the UK specialising in image-based sexual abuse at McAllister Olivarius._
