Critics gonna crit. The ethics police will refuse to acknowledge you for rescuing orphans from a fire if they discover you liked a hivemind-disapproved tweet in 2016.

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?
