Or, some stalker might try to blackmail her with making this information public. Some professor might lower her grades because he is outraged by her behavior. Some colleagues might distance themselves from her because they view this as immoral.

Given the status of sex work, there are many reasons why many who do it do not want to associate their private identity with it.

You can't live in fear of other people's prejudices. Sex work is nothing to be ashamed about.

You can't blackmail someone making a few bucks on fansonly. If you tried to do it to someone at the top who had money the platform, police and dmca notices would come flying your way.

Professors marking you low because of fansonly seems like a stretch. They can mark you low because you sleep in their class and are more likely to.

That is an extremely privileged take. When other people take their prejudices to extreme levels, you can and sometimes must live in fear of them. Anti-sex work prejudices in modern day USA may not be as bad as anti-gay prejudices in Saudi Arabia, but the principle is not entirely different.

Imagine you are a college-age girl working anonymously on OnlyFans and you receive a message asking you to do something small - go out on a 'date', send more nudes, help cheat on some exam, even send some amount of money - or they will reveal your identity to parents and peers. Do you think you could be unfazed and calmly assume that authorities will take care of it?

What if this was a religious college, or just a particularly religious professor? Do you think that having a reputation as a sex worker will not impact the way you are treated by some?
