Under the skin of OnlyFans

Do you think children should be spending their allowance money on porn? That's surely helpful for OF's bottom line but I question the ramifications of selling our children's sexuality to a few capitalist coders.

Why is it bad? First, teaching children to monetize and sexualize in a capitalistic system, rather than how they evolved which is a more personal and toned down sexual experience. Their psyche is developing, their habits from teenage time will carry forward and affect their only life. It's too risky to gamble on our society's minds by letting any company sell whatever they like to children.

Second, do we want young people wasting their limited money on this content? There's a lot of free things, even if someone is 18, why should they be giving away money for what they can get for free? Is that a sound financial habit?

Children can’t spend money on OF. Only adults can. Children can spend their money on the SI Swimsuit issue, though. And the SI Body issue. Do you take issue with that sexualization that benefits the capitalist behemoth that is Disney Corp?

Is that true? I had a credit card when I was a teenager. Is there a way for them to check your age or is it “you have a credit card so we assume you’re 18?”

A very similar comparison would be “thots” on Twitch, though.
