I don’t care about this kind of thing. I don’t think seeing this when I was a kid messed me up

...

and this is no worse imo.

I don't know, man... that ad might have seeded an inclination to actually drink Budweiser at some point.  I'd say that constitutes material harm.

In all seriousness Jeopardy is done for all intents and purposes.  When they let this douche host

with all his essential oils and magic crystals and other snake oil you might as well hang it up.

Most the line-up beyond the image there is a collection of mindless talking head reporters and a who's who of obnoxiousness.  There are a few genuinely good smart individuals in there like Mayim Bialik, and I get having the lead off being the shows executive producer too.

They really just need to find a solid non annoying, non divisive generally nice person to fill the role just like Alex Trebek was.  That guy knew how to keep it classy and on the level at all times.

Just fyi - I am pretty sure she wrote somewhere that she doesn't do nudes and she will ban people for asking.

Just saying people keepil saying porn and that doesn't seem reasonable.

If she's actually getting people to pay for non-nude Onlyfans, I'm impressed.

I'd love an example of where this type of content is marketed towards children.

Your scenario is problem of the parents, not the content creator. If a parent does not want their teenage son viewing content like this, they should be monitoring what type of content they are viewing. It's the same with any type of media. Violent video games, movies, etc. 

What's disgusting and cringeworthy is an adult male trying to dictate what a young woman can and can't /should and shouldn't do with her own body. You do not have the right to do so. To think otherwise is to spit in the face of women who are fighting for their rights. 

What if I posted a video of myself jiggling my man bits on YouTube?   Under a banana hammock of course.  And I posted it with a thin veneer of whatever the hell teenage girls are into?  Clothing reviews or makeup tutorials or something?  Knowing full well that this is a site that is absolutely completely integrated with teens lives. And then I made a plea at the end to see my schlong for $5?

Seems a bit predatory to me. But if it doesn't violate Youtubes policies, it's up to the parents of those children to monitor what their children are watching.

So wait, onlyfans isn't a porn site then? I thought it was. Or is it a place where some people post porn and others don't? But porn is allowed?

Can someone enlighten me then? I thought it was pornhub meets instagram more or less?

 

There is porn on OnlyFans, and it has acquired a reputation because of that, but it's also a site for other types of videos.

The original idea was for people to post content that "only fans" would be able to watch by subscribing or doing a pay-per-view situation. Fitness videos, musicians playing online concerts, stuff like that.

The porn aspect took center stage, because of course it did, and I suspect that because people associate OnlyFans = porn, it'll be pretty much all the content before too long.

Of course it’s up to parents monitoring.   Who do you think all of these parents are who aren’t monitoring their children’s activity?
  Ad absurdum.  
Stop portraying women as these defenseless flowers with no understanding of the consequences of their actions or accountability.  That’s how we get Anti vaxxers.  Thanks a lot.

Please show me where I portrayed a woman as defenseless. Please show me where I said that women don't know the consequences of their actions or don't know about accountability. My only point here is that no one should be telling this woman what to do with her body. She can do whatever she chooses to do, to make any kind of income she wants, and any judgment against that is a bunch of bullshit. I don't see how that equates to what you said here. Please elaborate.

No one here is telling anyone to do anything.  It’s an oddity to us.  No one is in contact with this woman in any way. We’re not even the target market.   I don’t think it’s out of the realm of reason for us to give our opinions to each other on this forum without someone unthinkingly screeching about what misogynists everyone is at the slightest provocation.  This is the purpose of her act really.  Do you think it’s unintentional?

Hot take. I'll quote myself below then and wait for an answer.

Speaking of misogyny, these birds got GAME, damn!!!

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/feb/26/male-lyrebirds-resort-to-artful-deception-in-the-pursuit-of-procreation

Male lyrebirds in the throes of sexual union will mimic the sound of a distressed mob of other birds to fool their mate and stop her from escaping, new research from Australia has found.
