How is not taking monetary advantage of lonely men who most likely never have normal human relationships not immoral? People spending money on these things are not your average Joe's. The whole idea is morally corrupt and onlyfans and the like are doing it on scale now.
- cookieswumchorr 5y agowho defines "normal human relationships", if we don't count various religions? IRL relationships can be just as addictive, toxic and financially perilous.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoTaking advantage and having position of power are pretty well defined in current society, these relationships don't have an equal standing between parties.
- leppr 5y agoYou should get out of your echo bubble. I have a few friends spending on these types of services (and Twitch which seems to have evolved to host soft versions of OF-type content). They're sociable, principled people, who also have many "regular" relationships. It's not a zero-sum affair.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoLooks like you're in a bubble yourself. It's well researched who are those men in that trap spending money. They are lonely and miserable, these so called relationships are toxic and take monetary advantage of them. You can't consent into toxic relationships. Your anecdotes don't matter much in the broad sense.
- leppr 5y ago> It's well researched who are those men Source needed. A quick Google search turned up nothing.
- throwaway675309 5y agoFor someone accusing others of anecdotes, you've yet to provide any actual hard scientific data to support your own sweeping claims.
- lodovic 5y agoThese are adults, they should be allowed to make bad decisions. Saying they "never had normal human relationships" is a bit condescending.
- brabel 5y agoIf those men (and women, I am sure) didn't have porn and onlyfans, they might not have anything at all to replace those. I don't think that's immoral. Both parties benefit, even if one benefits more than the other.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoThis sounds like libertarian talking point about business, I don't think it suits very well into the discussion.
- bongoman37 5y agoIts not all men. I know women who also spend on these platforms just because they like to support certain creators. They have other normal relationships too.
- eh9 5y agoI think it would be extremely difficult to achieve the scale OnlyFans has without a large number of “average Joe’s”. Your point about the idea being “morally corrupt” shows the true nature of your comment. Just because the practice or service doesn’t match your morals, does not make it immoral. Sex work is the oldest profession, there’s no reason there shouldn’t be a respectable platform for this kind of work. The whole point of this thread is about how poorly OnlyFans is managing this complex space.
