Teens as young as 12 see OnlyFans as an appealing alternative to traditional work, study finds
www.psypost.org
A qualitative study involving Spanish adolescents found that many minors are familiar with OnlyFans and view it as a realistic source of income. The study raises concerns about how media exposure shapes adolescent perceptions of sexuality, gender, and economic opportunity.

A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money. In group discussions with over 160 teenagers, researchers discovered that platforms promoting erotic content are influencing how young people—especially girls—view economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality. Teens frequently framed content creation as a personal choice or expression of agency, while minimizing the risks.

    edit: Fell for the oldest trick in the book - quoted Christianity labeled as Islam. Guess what? Christianity isn’t the solution here either, it’s equally repulsive.

    You read the Qur’an and tell me what you disagree with!

    I don’t typically waste my time with fairy stories, but sure, I’ll give you a few: I disagree with the paedophilia and child marriage, first and foremost, and I think it’s weird as fuck that you’ll just skate over that as though it’s not relevant in a story about children aspiring to sex work. I also disagree with the idea of cutting off someone’s hands for theft, as another example.

    Most people would probably list honour killings, but those aren’t actually part of Islam, it’s a leftover from the prior culture, so I won’t list it here and am instead explicitly calling it out as not being part of the religion for anyone who might not know. I not only don’t want to spread misinformation, I want to combat it.

    So yeah, I stand by that maybe it’s time to retire that catchphrase, bud. There’s plenty to disagree with in any religious text, the Qur’an is no different.
