The more I think about the Bella Thorne thing the heavier it gets. The global pandemic made survival full service sex workers sign up to clip selling sites like OF. KIND OF A THREAD

Onlyfans was seemingly user friendly, there was easy to find tips and tricks threads, there were ppl sharing their success on the platform often, it was a site a lot of ppl knew of so the amount of traffic the site got seemed promising etc
Many full service sex workers don’t have a social media following. This could be because they are brothel workers, use sites like adultwork, street based swrs or have very strict ways to keep their privacy and identity in tact which means they avoid certain camera angles etc
This means when the pandemic hit many of us had to make the choice. To keep an income we might have had to come to terms with the fact that we would be online for ever, our content could be found by ppl that know us personally, we could be doxxxed etc
Obviously these things can happen to us in full service sex work too. But think of it like some post faceless lewds rather than hardcore porn. When online sex work had an influx of creators due to covid, the feeling of having to do the most to get subscripters increased too
Because lots of us didn’t have a lmk existing social media following we had to start from the beginning. The beginning of covid I had 200 followers on this account. Now I have 2k. That’s what I’ve build through non stop working and promo for months
As a full service sex worker that has been in this job for about 7 years now - it was so embarrassing to have to come to Twitter and OF and join retweet groups with ppl almost 10 years younger than me.
It was dehumanising to see OF ppl almost 10 years younger than me be WHOREPHOBIC and FATPHOBIC daily on twitter as I try to promote my OF. But I had to keep going because there was no work for full service sex workers during a global pandemic
The fact that the skills I have for full service sex work aren’t transferable to online sex work was constantly invalidated as people said things like “just do camming or OF”. Like it was just that easy. Ignoring what privileges makes it easy for them to say it
A global pandemic and loss of work drove full service sex workers lives into the hands of OF and the influencers that want to try sex work on for a day for a quick payout and some edgy clout. Let that sink in
Fullservicesexworkers that have been stumbling thru Twitter, reddit & OF etc tryin to claw back some stability due to a world wide pandemic that celebs are ignoring as they continue to party & go on holiday are in danger because the celebs are ignoring the pandemic to party etc
Now as a new OF creator but an old hooker. The payout and PPV caps and stuff don’t directly effect me. However as a full service sex worker I am more harshly judged by society than online workers so the damage she is doing to ppls views of sex workers is something I’m effected by
Bella Thorne and the hustlers movie just reinforce stereotypes that sex workers are scammers. It’s dangerous for the most vulnerable sex workers. Consider this in ur conversations about the Bella Thorne situation
