Why do people have issues with OnlyFans Models and Porn Stars. (sopuli.xyz)

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?

So you are saying some people want to do porn, and others don't. Presumably because some like it and some don't. They all do it for money though, none of them do it for free.

What's the basis of knowing if someone does it because they like it then? Because they say so?

Exhibitionism exists and for some it's fun.
The money is extra.
And who is gonna decide if they want to do it if not them?
Your moral police?

No, my point is that some may be doing porn that don't like doing porn, but are still saying they do like porn - because of various social or economic mechanisms, or circumstances, or whatever.

That's not saying that nobody likes doing porn.

Obviously OnlyFans is for money by design, but there are plenty people posting their amateur porn online because they like it and not want to profit from it.

I mean that is the same basis for regular labor so yes because they said so

[–] drastic133@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

When a boss asks an employee if they like their job, then the employee rarely have anything to gain by saying no - even if they don't actually like their job.

Honesty isn't necessarily rewarded. That makes it hard to know if a person actually does porn because they like it, since they usually have an incentive to say they like it regardless.

Yeah that's what I said, it just as regular labor. There is no way of knowing if a person actually works because they like it.
