It's like you see a girl you think is hot and you ask people about her and follow her home.

Great you know where she lives.

You have seen her naked and paid for her pictures.

You are worried someone is going be as smart as you but take it a bit too far and go knock on her door? And what.. Ask her for a date? Kill her?

I would think if you go to the same school you could follow home anyone. And you have the opportunity to see lots of girls naked in person while in school.

Not seeing the risk of a low level star here. It's the same risk as being your neighbour and leaving the blind open.



What you're failing to account for is that online sex work massively increases the number of people paying attention to you in a way that can turn dangerous, and at the same time tends to reinforce dangerous attitudes.

The risk of some bitter, lonely guy living three states away, going off the rails and deciding that you are a bitch who needs to be taught a lesson, after years of having his attitudes messed up by hot women trying to make money by telling him "I need your cock right now!" - that is not a risk you run by hooking up in real life.


Isn't that person as likely to assault a neighbour.

Most channels are not pushing messages with 'I need your cock now' and if they are they are probably run by a professional operator.

A lot of channels aren't about sex. A lot of channels have males.

If all of your fears were valid I would recommend getting off instagram, facebook, etc because someone could find a photo clothed or not from those sources. It could lead to..


Uh stalkers? Sex pests? Rapists? How does being a "low level star" not mean there is still risk? So callous...


Aren't those the same risks for anyone famous from a news reporter to mega pop star? This is just on a much lower level.

Are you against women using their looks and charm to get famous?


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.


> You can't live in fear of other people's prejudices.

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.

> 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.

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?

> Professors marking you low because of fansonly seems like a stretch.

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?
