    I am late to this thread, and intrigued and on board with Shutdown 315.

    Mostly, though, I want to say THANK YOU to @TokenBoomer for the removals on this page. When someone’s trying to organize something, people popping in to say it’s futile and pointless are simply assholes, and assholes are counterproductive for organizing.












  • The news here is that Visa and MasterCard haven’t (yet) blocked all income for OnlyFans and its creators, over unproven allegations of kiddie porn. That earns a hooray from me, but I’m sure, with just a little more public panic, OnlyFans will be driven out of business, which is the endgoal here.

    Reuters has a real hard-on for OnlyFans. A month ago, 2 of the same 4 bylined reporters wrote this peculiar piece:
    Multiple OnlyFans accounts featured suspected child sex abuse, investigator reports
    The gist of that report was that, listening to an “experienced child exploitation investigator,” Reuters found 26 OnlyFans accounts featuring models who “appeared” to be underage.

    Of course, at an operation the size of OnlyFans, 26 ain’t many, and "appeared underage” is an awfully low bar. They require models to show proof of age, which all the pages in question had on file, and the site took the pages down immediately anyway. I’m not seeing how OnlyFans could be more rigorous, except by getting out of the porn business. Which, again, is the endgoal here.

    Like the previous article, this latest ‘news’ is only anti-porn hysteria, a gift to Republicans and righteous hypocrites.
