no, dog. It's about you being upset that people (usually women) are making more money than you, lol.

lolwut?

It's almost never about that.

Yeah, it's a bizarre strawman.

Considering OnlyFans, and the other creator sites, arent only for pornography, what kind of topic even is this?

Probably the flimsiest argument ever -- a new version of "I only buy it for the articles!"

Why would it be immoral to make money on OnlyFans? They are just giving the people what they want.

I mean, that argument is all kinds of flawed. While you could argue pornography isn't immoral (although it really is, since it's a vice), there are countless immoral examples of giving people what they want -- many of which are rightfully illegal, some of which are wrongly illegal.

because people are jealous of the money they get.

Which, again, is a bizarre strawman. The top YTers generally far more than the top OFers but nobody is calling YT immoral (despite the fact the platform is used for immoral things at times -- piracy, disinformation, etc).

Speaking purely on the premise of dating a OF'er, would be that...

Besides the entire world being able to see your wife's bunghole the other downside is her "job" has a time limit, once shes a certain age she wont be able to make a profit. With the state of cost of living and housing, not having a partner with a job sounds tough. I say this because, I imagine that once you have been used to snapping nekkid pics/videos of yourself for so long, that it becomes pretty difficult to to transition to a mindset of having to actually go in and work somewhere 8 hours a day, 40 a week. Not to mention, said OF'er might have to learn an entirely new skill set.

Oh yeah and since when can we say OF on gamefaqs?

They'd likely go in to other media. Either being a personality (like Belle Delphine does) or use their skills they made for increasing production value to improve other visual mediums. This'll shock you, but most people don't just do amateur phone snaps of their butthole, there's plenty that goes in to good photography, including editing in post and getting in shape, and most people keep OF to themselves so they have to learn these skills themselves and thus become a jack of all trades.

At bare minimum, they can move from "accountant" to accountant, since they typically need to learn about self-employment tax codes if they earn enough to actually live on.

Morals are subjective.

I vote No. Whenever I ask people why they are against people making so much money off of OnlyFans their go-to answer is ALWAYS "i-it's about morals"

no, dog. It's about you being upset that people (usually women) are making more money than you, lol.

These people get no bitches and have no money and all they do is complain about OnlyFans.

For me it's got nothing to do with women. It's just supply and demand. If what content you are putting out has high demand you will make more money.

I only find it weird a man will pay for this shit when all sorts of porn and nude pics are free. But hey it's their money I ain't gonna tell them how to spend it.

Surprised you could get away with saying the name of that site in the title o__O

I can understand if its a certain person they want to see Id probably pay (for a month, at most), of certain friends that I want to see But only certain friends

its become a huge part of the internet and culture

its becoming so big that its really normalizing some types of sex work which I think is a great thing

Youd be an expert at flimsy arguments, wouldnt you, being theyre pretty much all you have. Comparing a magazine that was literally created to sell pictures of women in undress and fleshed out with other information, to a website that was never meant to be synonymous with sex but any sort of creator content... but then again, we both know you wouldnt be able to understand nuance and actually look at the facts of the situation.

"It's immoral because it's immoral."

What is it with people thinking circular logic isn't semantically useless whenever they try to answer this question? Using synonyms doesn't make tautologies any less tautological.

Zeus is terrible at making arguments. Im pretty sure he has a thesaurus extension.

It's not just Zeus, though. Many, many people make pretty much exactly the same "argument" and think they've actually said something, even though they haven't. This idea that sex work is inherently wrong is just so deeply entrenched in their minds that they can't stand to think critically about it for fear of realizing that they've never actually had a reason to hold a belief that's so fundamental to their worldview, so they shut off their brains as soon as they produce the barest semblance of a justification.

Be that as it may be, Im talking solely about Zeus. Other people who arent here does not matter to me in this context.

At least one other person in this topic has made a similar comment, so a broader discussion of the phenomenon is definitely relevant.

Not to me, not enough to be pedantic about it. Theres also the assumption that I didnt think other people thought that way, which I never even remotely suggested.

How does making money on OnlyFans become immoral though?

Count_Drachma posted...

I mean, that argument is all kinds of flawed.

Is it really though? Nothing you posted suggests it is. If something is in demand and legal I don't see it being immoral to supply that demand. Even more so with something like OnlyFans. No different than any other legal ways to make money on the internet.

some people are taught things at a young age and just never let themselves accept new information or restructure what they believe in life

That's straying into legalistic morality, which isn't generally a good idea. A better metric than "is it legal?" is "does it hurt anyone?", since a vast array of immoral things are perfectly legal (the Holocaust being perhaps the most notorious example, to invoke Godwin's law right out of the gate), and a similarly vast array of illegal things aren't particularly immoral (such as responsible drug use).

I don't think anybody has identified a harm from it, other than using it as a vehicle to do cause harm, which would make essentially everything immoral.

Precisely. Plenty of things have the potential to cause harm, but that risk can be mitigated (or commensurate benefit can be obtained) to such an extent that calling them "immoral" is not reasonable. Discussions of something's morality should therefore be focused on that potential to cause harm and how readily that harm can be prevented or justified.

Money was invented so others could control wealth.

lol there's a person arguing in this topic that probably can't get a credit card yet

OnlyFans thots are just sad disgraceful creatures, although not on the level of the morons that give them money. I can't even imagine how sad a person's life needs to be to get to that point.

what exactly is disgraceful about someone using their sexuality to make a living? And why do you care about how people spend the money that theyve earned?

It's the mark of someone who needs to resort to the lowest common denominator to make their way in the world. It shows a complete lack of class, talent, and dignity.

I don't care. I just see it as an indication of rock bottom. If you're giving money to some random internet creature in hopes of forming some kind of bond, you really need to make some kind of course correction in your life. If it's just about the sex, porn is free, or go to a strip club. At least there you can get some tiddies in your face.

No, that would be judgemental people who are upset over how consenting adults lead their lives.

I'm not sure how you're conflating being upset with just finding something trashy.

Yet you feel the need to complain about it when it has nothing to do with you.
