Opinions on onlyfans and adult entertainment industry

Bubblesxoxx

I have been a dancer in Dublin for a decade started in my early 20s a lot of the girls I work with are sound and believe me it’s definitely nothing you see on tv. However Ireland seems to have this negative attitude towards women in this industry or deems us all sex addicts or easy when the woman who gets bread in her local supermarket could be doing all kinds of dirty things that’s way worse than dancing and it seems to be okay because she’s doing it for free I don’t get the mindset of some of these people we have stage names in work to protect our identity.

Part of this job comes with a lot of stigma there’s been a few girls who had people find out their day jobs and contact their boss to try and get them fired it’s normally women who rat them out and try to ruin their lives over it. There’s nothing I’d love more than to be open about my job and how it’s helped me get through some dark times in my life but I just couldn’t handle all the derogatory labels and insults and lows people will go to try and ruin your life over it. Since covid hit I don’t know how the strip club industry in Dublin is going to survive.

I want to know what your opinions are on strippers and the likes of using onlyfans to make money nothing you say is going to bother me it’s more curios why people have a begrudging attitude towards these things when they do worse things for free with their husbands boyfriend or a random Jack the lad from coppers In Dublin on a night out.

There was a lady on the radio a few minutes ago giving it socks about the assaults on the victims of these supposed leaks ,

Linda Hayden? From the Victims Alliance?
She has been the driving voice behind news of the leak, has been on quite a bit of media about it.

Yet still no actual evidence, and rather than hand evidence of this offender to Law enforcement?
They told his mammy?

An unrelated case that's been throw into the mix is that of Dara Quigley. She had a mental break, was arrested walking down a Dublin street naked. A Garda later filmed the CCTV footage and shared it on WhatsApp.

Clearly, this Garda should be prosecuted.

If a member of the public had filmed it they would have been free to upload it unless there is some peculiar Irish law. I could see that the garda should have been disciplined but is there a specific law relating to gardai? if the footage had been of an embarrassing car crash that went viral, would it be the same offense?

Exactly.

Yes she stated she traced this young to new Zealand and managed to some how trace his parents and contacted them directly and had an awkward conversation ,

Hello is that morals police I'd like to report a non crime and can you can I have a phone number to contact someone's parents about looking at photos on line .

Conduct unbecoming would cover it.

Perhaps the same offence, but the gravity of it would be different, given that it is foreseeable that the sharing of such a video would cause considerable harm and distress to the person identified in the video.

Whatever about Joe Public being an asshole, a Garda sharing such a video undermines public confidence in the force that is assumed/required to have their best interests at heart.

Sharing an embarrasing car crash, while it would be an abuse of power and obviously a breach discipline to be sharing CCTV feeds, it not likely to result in considerable harm or distress to anyone, and thus would not be as serious an offence.

If it was just looking at photos how would she have traced him? He wasn’t just looking at them, he was sharing them and commenting on them. It’s hard to claim a virtuous right to anonymity while circulating photos and videos of other people who do not want those images to be seen

A quick spin through Twitter suggests the garda hasnt been charged but may have been fired.

Is this because you think she couldn’t have found a 16 year old New Zealander involved in this kind of thing, or shouldn’t have?

Do you think revenge porn is completely fabricated? Because I have personal knowledge of a man who took photographs of his then partner while she was sleeping and then threatened to post them online when their relationship broke down

I’m not sure if you recall a crash on the M50 last year where a woman was decapitated in an accident.

Some rubber neck videoed her head at the scene and it went viral. This compounded the families distress and they came out and spoke about it. So I disagree about it not causing considerable distress.

He did say "embarrassing", which is why I didn't go down that route

IIRC there was talk at the time that Gardai intended to track down and prosecute the person who shared it. But I'm not sure if that was from a "he was driving and taking a video" perspective, or if there is some other niche area that it could be prosecuted from.

I imagine there's some law somewhere about sending malicious, offensive, gruesome or explicit messages, that is never enforced.

That does bring up another facet though that is a separate issue. The expectation of privacy, be it explicit or implicit, is usually only a civil issue when it's breached. Perhaps there should be scenarios where it's a criminal matter and someone doesn't have to be sued in order to be punished for it?

In the case she claimed I believe she made it all up to gain some kind of likes and status and effect for her story .

On the second point what you described is revenge porn and it's he's a complete scumbag but there is several law covering the subject ,in that case imo , revenge porn , domestic abuse and coercive control .

Onlyfans isn't the same thing it's sex workers selling their photos and videos and in many cases making large amount of money doing so and undeclared income I believe , that's about only about money they the sex workers see their income fall if their videos and photos are readily available free .
It's nothing to do with revenge porn or blackmail it's about money and nothing more ,

Explain why none of these activists have called for controls to be put on these sites such as onlyfans , instead they are pushing the site as some kind of legimate employment minus paying taxes and the likes

The key words here is without consent.

When people see there are criminal repercussions for doing this, they might think twice before doing it.

How about we protect young girls and women in the first place by removing the porn streaming sites and block them from recruiting girls to Stream porn , victim advocates promoting porn streaming sites under some kind of guise of defending victims of a non crime,

But it's not the same thing as the distribution of private intimate material in the form of a pornography collection.

My worry is that my conflating all of these unrelated issues into one - revenge porn, child porn, exploitation, copyright - there's a risk that it will get dismissed as man-hating women wanting to make it illegal to look at a naked woman, and the very real problem of sharing private sexual material will be lost in the noise.

Agreed.
There are a numerous issues at play here.

They could well do , depending on what business model they employ ,do they have a mix of free and paid for content?

Have a little think about why evidence of leaks of child pornography has not been released into the public domain.

Well, if you take the presenters on Today FM, they seemed to speak on behalf of their Audience stating that the legislation would be welcomed.

It is fair to say that the majority here (on this thread) and there is a strong lack of diversity of any kind. There are references here to people showing their snatch, demeaning comments etc, which are supported by other contributors that would not form part of a discussion in real life.

So it is totally fair to say the comments here are (in the main) one dimensional.

Why are people creating and sending these compromising images?
Once you send an image or video, you lose control of it. The only way to stop these being passed around is to not take and send them in the first place.

Can anyone explain why a victims advocacy group is actively promoting a porn streaming site and seems to be acting on their behalf

Because you see it as a non crime - does not mean others do. If its going in front of Govt to be signed into legislation, then you can believe that there are many who do see it as a crime.

That is part of the thinking behind the legislation. It is pushing responsibilty back on those who download and shared it.

Rephrase your words - the way to stop passing around other peoples images is to not do it - - you will end up being prosecuted.

So the girls doing Onlyfans have no case I take it.They put there stuff online.Apparently they have been telling Irish girls that have an Onlyfans link in there Twitter or Instagram profile to delete it
It's like they want to be sex workers but want it all private aswell??That's very hard to do

The thing is, you won't end up being presecuted. Particularily if legislation looks to meld all these issues into one.

Making the sharing of "copyrighted" material a criminal offence, just because it is of a sexual nature, even though the creator had no issues selling that material online is only going to waste valuable resources that could better be used to at least try and prosecute those that create and share child porn, and material that was never intended for public consumption.

None.
