On one hand, I find nothing wrong with the photograph.
On the other hand, I’m sick of fucking OnlyFans spam online, it’s disgusting to see more spam in real life.
Also billboards as a whole can get fucked.
It's completely tame. There are far more sexual images in just about any direction. It's only because people know there's actual nakedness being advertised that anyone has a problem with it. And that's just silly.
She’s advertising her ability to titillate, not her personality or intrinsic value and self-worth. Even with your edit, you’re still equating the persona she adopts for her business with her value as a person.
Projecting much?
I don’t have any personal desire to do any sex work. But women who are less conventionally attractive or who don’t feel confident on camera are not any less valuable than those who do. You’re equating a woman’s value as a human to her sex appeal and that’s disgusting.
I'm ignorant about what content OnlyFans has. Is the woman on the billboard a porn star?
I don't really have questions about OF beyond getting context for the billboard. In the US I don't see porn stars advertising in such everyday places. I have certainly seen billboards that are similar to the one shown in this article, but those are from companies with a big advertising budget like Victoria's Secret, as you mention. I think porn stars are generally not wealthy enough to have a big advertising budget for billboards.
Not only did the billboard work, but now that news outlets are posting it, with her @ and all, she’s likely getting so much more attention/subs.
Genius.
Environmental activists Global Witness later took over three of the poster sites and transformed them into ‘OilyFans’ billboards, to comment on the pay package of BP chief executive Bernard Looney, whose earnings went from £4.5 million (€5.2 million) to £10 million (€11.6 million) last year.
Good bit
