Who gives a fuck what she does with her off hours or for extra income. Besides, it's an onlyfans, which means shes safe in her own space.

Besides besides, thousands upon thousands of people in this Free Country work in adult entertainment, and nobody cares. Why call out this one?

I'm well aware of how some here feel about this industry, its cons over its pros and all that and I'm not trying to engage THAT discussion. What's left in my brain that's still 'libertarian' doesnt give a fuck about this issue; leave this person alone to do as they deem fit.

.

That sets up class envy, bitterness, cognitive issues when arriving on site, etc.

It's bad enough these jobs often require rotating shifts which throw the body off, then add a second gig.


In Camden NJ, they have the Camden County Police, and the starting salary is $28K a year. That might sound good in some sections of the country, but in NJ, the adjusted poverty level is $27K. Why? Because NJ, like CA & NY have to send billions to other states to fund their failures of Republican governance. Seniors here get fucked with Social Security because that is distributed equally, and not on cost of living for the area. Getting back on point, you have someone making poverty wages making life or death decisions, when they are working double shifts, rotating shift schedules, etc.

I saw a screen-capped statement from this woman who said she pleaded with the 'reporter' that he was going to ruin her life and possibly cause her to lose her job by publicizing her name and images. He didn't give a shit. (Meanwhile, she's at her parents' home in WV right now because her father had a heart attack last week.)

The Murdoch creeps are going strong right today, screaming about Hunter Biden, Andrew Cuomo, and this disgusting story in the Post, as well as defending that crap about Jill Biden's doctorate in the WSJ.

Wall Street Journal Opinion Editor Defends Item on Dr. Jill Biden

“There’s nothing like playing the race or gender card to stifle criticism,” Paul A. Gigot said as he accused Democrats of orchestrating a coordinated response to an op-ed piece.

funny thing is, if the Puritan attitudes toward sex and nudity were gone from our society, the young lady probably wouldn't be able to make money off of her racy pics on-line. Nothing boosts profits like labeling something a forbidden fruit.

Time to boost the minimum wage, and take a good long look at compensation for work in all career paths.

14. this is literally none of our business

I can see if she were constantly late to or tired at her EMT job due to this gig, which no one says has happened. Or if she were doing the videos from work, which no one says has happened. Or if she were stealing property from work for the videos, again no one says this is happening. Or if she were selling videos of her with her patients, again, no one says this is happening. Or if she were selling videos of her raping unconscious people again no one says that his happening. She is doing a legal side gig on her own time, and harming no one, using no work supplies or buildings. This is literally none of our business.
