We pirate movies, games and songs that are made by workers who would undoubtedly make more money if we had bought them instead. Nevertheless we justify piracy by saying that intellectual property is unjust and exploitative.

So wouldn't the same logic apply to OnlyFans? There is currently a movement where people are subscribing to OnlyFans, uploading all the content on porn sites and then unsubscribing. I'm seeing this get criticized, but it's the same things as piracy right? Those who do want to pay will pay, while those who pirate are those who never would have paid in the first place.

    I hope you never find yourself needing to be in a work field where doxxing, rape, or murder is almost an inevitably, but perhaps if you lived through sex workers’ experiences, you’d be a lot more empathetic and not say sex workers are put on a ‘pedestal’ when these underpaid film crews aren’t going to be murdered because of people dehumanizing them and their work (much like this thread does).

    I almost hope this thread is bait and not a genuine belief.
