"Poll question: Should folks lose their jobs for having OnlyFans?"


  

          

Not inspired by anything in particular , but there have been a spat of stories about people losing their jobs because their employer learns they have an onlyfans account.

https://www.dailydot.com/irl/onlyfans-nurse-fired-co-workers-watching-content/

https://nypost.com/2022/01/24/cop-paid-30k-to-leave-force-after-colleagues-found-onlyfans-account/


https://meaww.com/elementary-school-fire-teacher-only-fans-account-jeopardize-reputation


I generally think folks shouldn't lose their jobs for having an onlyfans account, but I do think its different if they are a teacher of kids and they have raunchy pics (of course that's subjective).

What do yall think?

Poll result (18 votes)
No. No profession should lose their job. (11 votes)Vote
Only teachers should lose their job. (2 votes)Vote
Yes, if the employer thinks your OnlyFans is a distraction. (5 votes)Vote

she was a very big woman.

and she had video links on her IG or FB page. She gave the links to kids and teachers proudly.

and them she was fired

but I also read a story about a woman who wore sexy lingerie. Never nude. A husband told his wife and of course her hatin ass went to the school and they expelled the kids. She wasn’t a teacher. Just a parent.

I think as long as its not X rated ish you should be able to keep your gig BUT we all know once kids find out about it its a distraction.

it might be easier for a business to let the person go, especially if kids are involved.

however, there should maybe be some consideration to how the info was found out. did the teacher let everyone know, did a parent snitch, was somebody being vindictive or resentful towards the teacher?

Should also consider what exactly it being shown on OF. is it straight up porn or just some softball sexy pics.

have there been any stories about dudes being fired for having an OF?

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

The only scenario I could consider it being justified is if the employer had a policy, that the employee agreed to in writing, explicitly prohibiting employees from engaging in adult entertainment while associated with the organization.

But even then that's pretty draconian. How does producing adult content interfere with a person's job duties?? And if the concern is the reputational risk in colleagues or clients discovering the content, should employees be penalized for others' nosiness? I'm not sure about all that, and it sounds eerily close to employers' dictating what type of sex an employee can engage in (in this case, 'filmed' sex).

Another thing to consider is, some adult content creators don't even film sex for their channels. They post similar content on their other social media but use OF moreso to triage fans and comments (so, basically, putting a price on being able to directly interact with them). In such cases, the OF is more of a business strategy than anything else; and if their other social media isn't considered a problem, why should the content become a problem just because it's on OF??

Seems like another dimension of digital surveillance and authoritarianism that folks should be weary of supporting imho.

edit: as more people I know dabble in adult content creation - men, women, married couples - it truly is more innocuous than not and we really need to normalize (or in the case of other sex work decriminalize) it all as soon as possible. let these folks side gig in peace smh

nah. the few I've known seem to (understandably) be super paranoid about their adult personas possibly being connected to their real life personas in any way, shape, or form pretty much BECAUSE of issues we're discussing in this post.

And, with one of the married couples, it's only suspected not confirmed.

But ya. To my knowledge, I'm not connected to any active okps in real life. I'm not tryna find out I am by promoting folks' OF tho. Lol

Such a policy should not be allowed to exist, except for illegal activity.

Even that has a slippery slope, but it’s a a huge start toward erasing such draconian policies.

A companies control over someone’s personal life should be *extremely* limited.

If a persons personal life causes significant damage to a company, then that’s a different story and the waters become murky.

As people in this post keep saying, people get fired for less.

And I think that needs to change to less people getting fired, for fewer reasons.

If someone of any profession has a paid page AND you have to pay to unlock posts, there shouldn’t be penalty for someone “finding” their page. If it’s that hidden and protected and some dildo decides to “leak” their content, that’s the dildo’s fault. I take issues with leaks even with movies and music, but that’s another issue.

Doing shit at work is dumb, and the teachers “making content” with kids around need their ass beat.

Miss me with the deflection onlyfans is not an adult platform. We're not about to normalize essentially moonlighting as an adult content creator because white people found a new income stream during the pandemic. 25 years ago you're fired without sympathy.

Whenever you sign an employment contract you agree to rules and regulations of that business entity. No, a teacher moonlighting as a porn star should not keep their job. Don't even get me started on anyone working for a religious entity in any capacity. People get fired for less every day.

In response to Reply # 13


  

          

>25 years ago
>you're fired without sympathy.

Your logic here is, essentially, that a policy should not exist today, because it was once a different way at an earlier time.

Keep rewinding that clock and applying that logic, and you'll reach a point where that reasoning chews up everyone who isn't a wealthy, land-owning white male.

So no, that's not a valid or sound argument

>Whenever you sign an employment contract you agree to rules
>and regulations of that business entity.

This is about whether or not those rules should exist at all.

Do you have a reasonable, rational argument that they shouldn't exist?

>moonlighting as a porn star should not keep their job.

A, "moonlighting"?

That terms comes with a ton of baggage, and being critical of someone for "moonlighting" at all is essentially advocating for complete employer control over someone's ability to earn money.

You could mean it in a colloquial sense, without that baggage, but given the rest of your post, I doubt that.

>even get me started on anyone working for a religious entity
>in any capacity.

Oh, do start. The "any capacity" portion of this is what's problematic, to be clear.

>People get fired for less every day.

Do you think getting fired for less is fair, or even reasonable?

If anything, the reasonable societal adjustment should be that we fire less people for a smaller list of reasons, not using lesser offenses as the barometer for what constitutes a fireable offense.

We've too long been at a point where too many people respect corporate entities at the expense of the actual human beings with real names and lives and families, and you come across as though you land on that side of this fence.

In response to Reply # 17


  

          

That’s what this is about.

What is, already is.

But such things can, often should, and sometimes do, change.

And that’s the question. I think such clauses should only apply to illegal activity. That’s it.

its the era we live if now. If you're going to be visible on the internet you need to be aware of how it can effect other employment. I know some people who don't have social media and that is one of the main reasons why.

Agreed. And I think the opposite should be true:

Companies already have a stranglehold on their employees.

People can already be fired for all manner of petty bullshit, even as employers get away with dangling someone’s livelihood over them, offering less, demanding more, and generally delivering an inequitable deal that extends well beyond flat wages.

We should not be advocating for more reasons to fire someone, but less- particularly when one those reasons is the ability to make the kind of money employers either cannot, or will not pay.

No, the ability to earn a living should not be on that list.

specifically for the example given here teachers and people that work with children should not be on onlyfans.

And people in general need be aware that they can be held accountable by saying reckless racial shit online.
