I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

Reducing people to objects is generally bad. Only fans also promote sexualization of girls/teens. It’s well established in social research that the patriarchy uses sexual objectification of women to help keep them reduced as second class citizens. It helps promote the idea that “women want to be sexually assaulted and they like sexual harassment”. Taking blame from the predators. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectification en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-objectification Additionally. Turning intimacy and affection into something to be sold or bought devalues this aspect of human connection. thorn.org/…/commodified-online-sexual-interaction… Consent and Commodification: Objections to the Market for Sex Work pressbooks.lib.vt.edu/pper/chapter/article-4/

Sex work is not something people do because its a choice but out of need for finances. This may be true in many or most cases but I’ve met sex workers who like their job and want to keep doing it because it’s an easy and fun way to make a lot of money.

Easy money. So finances? Self objectification is also a problem in our society. Do you remember how women athletes used to say all the time how it was empowering to be naked in the swimsuit sports illustrated magazine. ? Our culture has convinced women that their greatest value is being sexy and getting sexual attention and unfortunately a lot of younger women believe this. They don't realize that this mindset and acceptance of these values promote the very system that harms them and others.

Easier money than doing other work. They could make ends meet other ways, I’m sure, but this is easier and more fun. Like, I could make ends meet as a roofer but making more money for sitting in front of a computer is easier and more fun. As for the other stuff, all I can say is that they weren’t all women.
