>But what message does this send to girls who are not considered attractive enough or just don't want to do this kind of work?

Here's where the real damage gets done - women flock to onlyfans as they find it to be an easy way to sell their looks / body for money. They initially get interest and some (or a lot) of money. More beautiful girls join onlyfans, subscribers change and now you're left with yesterday's onlyfan star, having gained "worth" from her looks/body, now watching that "worth" dissipate.

Not to mention those images are now online forever.

>The message is that all the study, work, and effort to work in a meaningful career is a freaking joke, when all it takes is to be born a certain way and make huge amounts of money selling your body.

This already existed. Ugly rich/famous/powerful men don't get beautiful wives due to their glowing personality.

>But man, we are so fucked.

We are, from virtually every angle. Still, at least it's interesting.

Online forever and owned by, or granted a license in perpetuity to, an entity that isn't you.

Ah, the sadness of aging, decline, and death. Better get used to it because it's the one guarantee of life

Imagine being a kid today and school bullies finding your mother's old OnlyFans pictures.

Or, flip that script. Which _is_ happening. People are buying OnlyFans, tracking down their parents, and sending them the pictures.

Imagine going to summer camp on money your mom raised from sexwork!

Could be worse, at least she made a buck off it. Think of the children of the people flooding Reddit with porn content of themselves, in which they're easily identifiable, for free.
