Acceptable Use Policy

 


Everybody keeps talking about how much they like amateur porn over studido porn. During the last year and during the pandemic, thousands of porn actors and sex workers went to OnlyFans as a means to keep earning a living. It was literally a bonanza of amateur content. Some people were happy with the move. Amateur porn does have a much more 'natural' feel to it (as natural as filming yourself having sex can be) and I totally understand the sentiment. Amateur porn seems much more intimate, much more closer to the 'real thing', less fabricated, more relatable. 

But OnlyFans is going to forbid porn. Oh, excuse me, 'sexually explicit content', and no matter how they try to put it, it's a ban on porn:

Do not upload, post, display, or publish Content on OnlyFans that shows, promotes, advertises or refers to “sexually explicit conduct”, which means:

i. actual or simulated sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, between persons of any sex;

ii. actual or simulated masturbation;

iii. any exhibition of the anus or genitals of any person which is extreme or offensive;

iv. actual or simulated material depicting bodily fluids commonly secreted during sexual conduct.

So, literally, no porn. Only Fans is going the way of Craigslist and Tumblr. Do you remember those? SESTA-FOSTA took care of those. Cragislist has now less traffic than IKEA's As-Is and Tumblr is a joke and a shadow of what it was only a few years ago (oh, I know some people still go to Tumblr for memes and incel and TERF posts, but yeah, that tells you all about what Tumblr is now). There's an all-out war against sex and it starts with porn.

This time, they went for the jugular: the made Master Card and Visa afraid with the works 'sex trafficking' and the usual 'think of the children'. The banks kneeled and from October on, Only Fans will offer very expensive... make up tutorials? Underwear ads? 

So, why would Mastercard and Visa want OnlyFans to ban porn when Mastercard and Visa process payments for virtually every other porn site? Because OnlyFans is the big fish right now, and they’re the new high profile target of psychotic religious/anti-porn groups like NCOSE and Justice Defense Fund, who’ve also been successful in going after Mindgeek—the other big name in porn—all year long. As you’ll recall, Mastercard and Visa no longer process payments for Mindgeek’s Pornhub, and Mindgeek recently announced the complete shutdown of their other tube site, XTube.


And just like that, after Master Card and Visa decided to stop processing payments, Only Fan's future was sealed. It's funny how porn and erotica, once plentiful online, keep getting cornered by the religious nuts and the people who think they have the right to regulate what people watch. Is there sex trafficking in porn? Most certainly yes. Is there child abuse in porn? Most probably yes. Will ending pornography online help end sex trafficking and child abuse? No, it will not. It's all about control, and you know how religious nuts feel about controlling other people's sex lives.

The people currently on OnlyFans will have to find another place to set up shop. JustForFans is an option, but they take a bigger slab of the model's earnings (it's a bigger chunk than what OnyFans used to get) and I'm sure some opportunists will try to exploit sex workers (ironic, isn't it, Alanis?) now that they have to leave OnlyFans. Meanwhile, grab on to your favorite -free- tube site and download your favorite (probably amateur) porn, because they're coming for it. And to think I don't have a DVD player. I better get one and start buying some DVDs. Who knows? Maybe in a year even Blogger will come up with an 'Acceptable Use Policy' and will not be able to post dicks in my blog. That will piss me off.

XOXO

  1. Does this mean Studio Porn will surge again?

    1. Ha!
      Oh, there's still people who like studio porn, but rest assured the bigots and the prudes will come for them, too. But this has to do more with sex workers than with porn per se. I think the pandemic gave porn performers the chance to take control of their product. Amateur porn will stay, I'm sure.

    1. Well, that's the Religious Wrong for you:
      Always trying to find a way to control people's sex lives. That's their raison d'être.

  3. What a bunch of asshats. Blogger tried to do this several years ago - ban "adult" content. The backlash among users was very loud and very clear. Blogger relented. But, then again, blogs here don't charge for content. Some blogs "monetized" - meaning they host paid advertising. I've had numerous emails offering to pay me to place ads on my blog. I got another new one today. I've turned them all down because of Blogger's policies against monetizing "adult content."
    The religious bigots will get more and more brazen with each win.
    I wonder if those trying to make a buck with porn will switch to bitcoin? XOXO

    1. Oh, yes, Blogger has tried it.
      And the problem comes with the monetization. It happened on Tumblr. I had more than three hundred thousand subscribers there and they liked that. I refused the offers there (and here, too). With followers (and traffic!) come the offers for money and ads. I was astounded when I looked at the stats and saw the lurkers swarmed some posts in this blog.
      I would never monetize this blog or any blog. That way I can publish what I want.
      The bigots will always try to do anything in their powers to stop anything related to sex. They are the Taliban.
      And ironically, the untraceability of bitcoin would bring much more sex exploitation. Funny how things work.

  4. This is astounding (no it isn’t). You make your name on the backs of a population, then throw them under the bus. The talk is they’re going for an IPO? Well if they continue down this road, their balance sheet is going to look like shit. Their year over year income is going to fall off the cliff. Maybe the xianists will flock to them to fleece their flocks by putting their “services” on there.

    I’ve seen some guys on Twitter that didn’t already duplicate stuff on JFF migrating their content there out of desperation to keep an income. Like you said, they take a bigger cut.

    1. Yep.
      They are throwing sex workers under the bus. After they made billions off of them. Great business model. And yes, they are trying to go public and also have a TV app. And you know the Talibangelists will not rescue them, even though they could make a pretty penny selling salvation online.
      And many people will go to JustforFans (which is problematic and takes more money) hopefully, alternatives friendly to sex workers will pop up soon. They have until December.

  5. Huh. So they say this is due to banking regulations? WTF. If you're making that much coin... become your own bank. F 'em. Well, this is the nail in their coffin. It killed tumblr. It will kill them. Someone else will start up something new and everybody will flock to that. Buh-bye FansOnly - idiots.

    1. Yeah, the bigots pressed the banks and the banks balked.
      And I think they need the banks or they'll have to go for bitcoin and that's another can of worms. And the same thing killed Tumblr. They saw the traffic and didn't take into account that it was porn and sex workers that kept it rockin. Once the sex left Tumblr it became a very expensive meme repository.
      And most probably people will come up with something else and the sex workers will migrate their work there. I read JustForFans crashed because of the new traffic.

  6. If you want to point a finger, point it at PornHub. They are involved in a stinky lawsuit because people were upload Revenge Porn, rather then armature videos. Check this out: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/06/18/pornhub-lawsuit-rape-child-porn-sex-trafficking/ Because of this lawsuit, the BBC did an investigative report on Only Fans and found some content providers were underage, having used faked ID's to get verification. Everyone wants to blame OnlyFans without doing the research. You might want to check out the BBC report before you jump to any conclusions. Many honest content providers will have to find new homes because there are assholes in the world.

    1. Oh, the fault is on OnlyFans.
      Their business model was murky at best especially with respect sex workers. They went from a little more than 100K subscribers in 2019 to making billions during the pandemic thanks to sex workers and OF let it roll because money, of course. With the growth and the notoriety came the scrutiny from the prudes and the religious nuts., who were looking for another sex-positive platform to attack. Now OnlyFans has to reinforce their terms of service to keep the banks happy and that means no sex workers.
      Interesting how your argument is the same found in the dark corners of the internet. Not surprising, though.
