Under the skin of OnlyFans

You have to be 18 to sign up. It's like saying the military is a mechanized process turning young men into troops. Some people sign up for the military before they graduate high school, and gladly. There has to be some arbitrary age where a boys and girls become an adult, when they can and must accept responsibility.

That is low quality comparison.

Whether or not you agree with the high goals of the (US?) military; for a great many people it is a solid career, a role model they never had, and possibly a stepping stone out of an awful life. Also a very small percentage of these are actually fighting in infantry risking their lives.

This is much different than saying "Ooh youre 18 now, look how much money these 3 people make selling their naked videos! And there is absolutely no consequence at all to this, for you or your society!"

The idea that risk of life in the military is exclusive to the infantry (or even “combat arms” more generally) is...pretty ludicrous.

And the military is systematically and manipulatively marketed to young people at least as much as online sex work is.

Getting naked on camera vs killing people in foreign countries - I know which one I'd like my children to pick.

Getting abused by pimps vs protecting their mother country - I know which one I'd like my children to pick.

Choosing the extreme version of one and the benign version of the other seems pretty handy.

There is a difference between a random eastern european camgirl and an OnlyFans account.

You can also close your OF account the second you don't want to do it. Try doing that with the military :)

One upside of OnlyFans is that you do not need a pimp.

Maybe this is controversial, but I think the US army does less good for society than an OnlyFans model.

you know that military recruiters often target high schoolers, often for enlisted infantry positions right? how is that any better?

It's mostly boys, and vulnerable boys don't seem to matter as much as vulnerable girls.
