Filipina OnlyFans Star Uses Profits To Build School She Once Dreamed of Teaching in, But Critics Call It 'Ethical Gooning'

6 days ago by Rat_in_a_hat to c/nottheonion

Filipina OnlyFans creator Maeurn Smiles is using income from her online career to fund a school project in Cebu, where a smaller learning centre has already opened.

I'm doing my part to fund education!

What critics?

The linked comments are mostly shitting on billionaires for not doing this.

No one is complaining she built a school, they're complaining the actual wealthy won't do shit like this of their own accord despite having way more money. The implication being: billionaires shouldn't have a billion dollars.

The biggest critic seems to be the article writer, who are posting quotes by “critics” who are just random redditors.

If Ukraine ends up winning a war by legalizing and taxing adult sex work, will they be any less free a nation?

I will never ever understand this. Espeicially in this case. Why does she get the "critics" (Reddit commenters who probably masturbate to her anyway).

Their government is the one who failed, they should be getting the critics. It's the orphan crushing machine, no one is asking why she felt she needed to front money for schools in the first place

It's insane for me how people are seriously inept to see some nuance. Only fans as a platform makes it money from exploiting young people (mostly girls). Pornography (essentially legal prostitution) as a whole harms a lot of the population's perception of sexual activity and sexual desires, alongside creating a pyramid of systematic exploitation of young women. It's the ultimate liberal slop that has been normalized because these people are working for their money!

Anyways, it's not about her, but about how she could not find any other outlet to collect money to build that school. She is a brave soul, but that doesn't make this story less sad.

It is but a consequence of the failure of the Philippine government to try provide the unprivileged their basic needs, especially education, food security, and medical treatment, what with taxpayers' money being siphoned by politicians and subcontractors for things like Italian sports cars, two week vacations to Europe, and obnoxiously huge birthday parties.

So instead private citizens end up having to make philanthropic gestures to schools and hospitals.

Try clicking the headline.

None of the ones quoted in the article are critical of her or what she's doing. They're critical of society not doing it, due to billionaires hoarding all the wealth.

Like, this is what they're actually saying:

In a world where wealthy individuals and politicians are just too damn greedy and slow to respond to various economic problems.

It only took some OnlyFans model to deliver the infrastructure to build a school in poor areas.

The power of gooning everyone.

I'm a little torn on this one. It feels similar to how a lot of US states use taxes generated from gambling/vices to fund schools. So you're basically making the next generations future dependent on other peoples vices.

But that assumes you consider porn/OF a vice like gambling and drugs/alcohol, which maybe isn't quite a one-to-one.

you mean like how governments are dependent on tax payer participation in the workforce to generate income for the state by enslaving them for less than livable wages all so the GDP can be propped up like a bad weekend at bernie's skit?

yeah, we should stop participating in our own enslavement and force our governments to provide minimum basic needs like clean water, healthcare, access to education, and others.

how can one do that though...I suppose the best way would be to bring attention to the core issues and force the government to actively participate with the citizens it governs in order to save face after being publicly humiliated by opening a school with the money you earned as a porn star.

nah, that's just stupid. no way that would work. right?
