The Rules

I can't comment on these specific individuals, but a situation like that is gutwrenching. Absolutely nothing against OnlyFans and other adult entertainment, there are tons of people who genuinely enjoy and take pride in the work, but if there's even a slight hesitancy or feeling of pressure to do it just to support their real careers, the notion seems deeply awful and psychologically damaging.

Kinda sounds like a reason some people might try to preserve or widen a gender pay gap. If they can't keep women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, this is their next best thing.
