"..then the calculus will be different."
We only get to "then" by challenging the norms we are faced with "now". The question is do we want to move forward to a more accepting world, or settle for the narrow, judgmental mess we've inherited.
Well... we get to some sort of "then" regardless. I'm all for challenging norms and striving forward, sexual liberation and such. I just don't think only fans represents that better, more accepting world. Do you?
Seems perfectly reasonable that OP doesn't want his kids engaged in it.

I strongly disagree and would argue that we usually only get to "then" by active struggle, not just by waiting around.
And yes, I absolutely do think that normalization of sex, both for profit and otherwise, is an indispensable part of a more accepting world. OnlyFans has already helped move that needle considerably.
Active struggle to get more people onto OF?

Active struggle to change restrictive norms.
..then the calculus will be different. Current culture is what it is, and we live within it.
Imagine a culture where prostitution is "no big deal." It's acceptable for parents to encourage college kids to take a summer job in a brothel and it affects their life in the same way as a summer job at a car wash. Just because you can imagine such a culture doesn't mean that the same advice applies in our world
Similarly, there are plenty of cultures where premarital sex is totally unacceptable, especially for girls. You might think that's silly, and other cultures do exist that aren't like this. Taking your advice might profoundly affect their life, their ability to marry and live within their culture.
