Some OnlyFans Commentary

February 20, 2021 By Dame TylerRose. 4 Comments

“I hate people who post their Only Fans!”

We see some version of this multiple times a day on various social sites, usually by men.

Let’s do something. Let’s replace Only Fans with other things and see if you still hate it.

“I hate people who post their Ebay store.”
“I hate people who post their Etsy store.”
“I hate people who post their Patreon page.”

Is it still a problem?

I can hear the answers now. “No, because they’re selling a product.”

Okay, let me point something out to you right now. People who have an Only Fans also are selling a product. That product is their tits, pussy, and ass. They have every right to do so.

So if you don’t whine about a Patreon page, an Etsy store, or Ebay listings, you need to quit whining about Only Fans people.

All you’re really complaining about is that you have to pay to see the pussy.

“I hate that they’re selling a paddle they made. They should let me have that for free!” — See how stupid that sounds? That’s how stupid you sound complaining that you can’t see the pussy for free.

I can hear it now. “But they spent hours making that item and should be paid for that workmanship.” Yes. Indeed. And it takes time and effort to make a decent video. They may take fifty pics before they get the one they want to post to their Only Fans.

“Yeah, but there are a lot of crappy pictures they didn’t put effort into!” someone will say. Yup. And there are a lot of crappy, overpriced floggers populating Etsy accounts. Now you’re complaining about not being able to see crappy pics for free.

You need to really look at your behavior and attitude. You are complaining because one chick out of 1000 won’t show you her pussy without payment first. You are also complaining that ANY woman dares to restrict your visual access to her body.

Reality Check — You are not entitled to view their pussy if they don’t want you to see it without paying. They are entitled to restrict those pictures to people who pay for the privilege. You have to pay a cover to get into a strip bar. You have to buy a minimum number of drinks to go into a strip bar. Only Fans is an online version of the strip bar.

If you don’t complain about people posting links for selling their melting wax, paddles, and floggers in Etsy, then you need to shut about women making ends meet through Only Fans. Maybe you should think for a moment about the times we live in and how many people are unemployed and can’t pay their bills without that Only Fans account.

Tribute is an accepted practice. That’s what an Only Fans account is. A formalized version of tribute. You don’t have to give them money if you don’t want to. There are plenty of other women on plenty of other sites who show you all the goods for free. Good god, whatever you do, don’t go to chatterbate!

Just because you’re willing to flash your dick in your avatar doesn’t mean we have to flash the pussy. That’s why you don’t see many men with an Only Fans. They flashing that shit all over the place. LOOKAMAHDICK!

And you’re just pissed off that you don’t own every woman’s nakedness.

They have every right to try to earn a living.

You…aren’t entitled to a damn thing.

We at Kink Weekly believe everything should ALWAYS be consensual including the sharing of intimate images.

In Ireland, Justice Minister Helen McEntee seeks to crimininalise the non-consensual sharing of such images often referred to as revenge porn.

She is specifically trying to enact the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill, which hopefully would help reduce this non-consensual behavior.
