Wonder if Celeste Barber is going to parody this to raise even more: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/australia-wildfires-ce...

Love her Instagram parodies and am amazed at humanity by how much she's raised. Her original goal was something like $30k!

Pathetic men supporting this, even when the money doesn’t go to charity. Everywhere you turn on social media there’s a naked woman asking for money, and she’s often receiving plenty.

I think that you're not getting your point across very well. What are you trying to tell us? Are you having a problem with people paying for smutt or with people donating for it?

Good question. I think I view the whole endeavor as illegitimate and seeing non-discrete sex kinda makes me uncomfortable. I wish money wasn’t mixed with sex.

Discrete sex is probably more practical than the continuous kind.

I'm going to have to hard disagree. I think the fact that sex has value should be respected and it's problematic to pretend otherwise. I honestly think that stuff like this, and the proliferation of camgirl/insta culture in general is a trend in a really good direction.

I think it's fine to have a puritanical view on sex, but calling "pathetic" the people who don't is not the direction I'd take to be honest.
