I think people are forgetting something, which is that younger people like clout. OnlyFans isn't really that taboo for a lot of younger people. It's associated with being hot and making money. A lot of Olympians probably WANTED their OnlyFans to pop off because they thought it was cool. And they don't have to show full nudes or sex, many just post in swimsuits, softcore porn, or tasteful covered nudes. Being "forced" to do OnlyFans is a bit of a stretch for some athletes, but I agree that the games in general are exploiting the athletes. I think the games themselves could be considered a type of sex work, though.
It is amazing how sex work specifically makes people hate capitalism. People don't mind a capitalist, but as soon as that capitalist is a pimp or madame, then they can see the immorality
Cause sex work allows social mobility. The feudalistic lords also hated merchants cause they threatened the social hierarchy.
100%! Sex work is inherently empowering and destroys typical power dynamics in cishet monogamous relationships.
You are aggressively missing the point. Don't you think "the youths" would prefer being able to pay rent over clout? Onlyfans isn't the problem here, the point is it should be something they have the option to do rather than the only way to afford to compete.
If you have no problem with them pushing lotion ads, why are you so upset about sex work?
What? I want them to be paid a living wage and be able to do sex work if they choose to. I think we are on the same page maybe?
Yes I agree with that :)
