I know this is weird, but someone whom I follow, I recently discovered had an OF.

Now I'm not knocking them for it. It's just that everything they present to the public is the complete opposite of someone whom (purely in my opinion) would never do something like that.

I dunno it's just something odd I wasn't expecting.

*Edit: Fuck it. It's Alice Winterhold. There. Are you happy now? Perhaps you'll understand now...

I'm not against someone doing OF and i don't care that this person does, it's just that their online persona is that of someone who wouldn't do that. Just gave me a tad of spiritual whiplash is all.

You care a lot my guy you made a whole post about it and are thinking about it a lot and engaging strangers in conversations about it just for an excuse to keep thinking about it. Someone who doesn't care would be like "wow that's crazy" then never bring it up or think about it again. Also you are confused why someone doing only fans is not just naked and fucking dildos in public all the time, they sometimes wear clothes and exist in society???

[–] Alpha71 4 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

🙄 I have said that this is weird. I know it is weird. Just let me say this. For me this was like finding out Mother Theresa has an OF. That's what I'm saying.

That lady liked torturing kids, they thankfully still don't allow that shit online.

[–] Alpha71 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Just like the person I follow online, I am talking about the persona they project to the world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I have a suspicion what we have here is my bro putting the lady on a pedestal, In both instances. So just curious did you subscribe to the of?

[–] Alpha71 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

😂 No. No I did not subscribe. I'm too cheap to pay for for porn when so much of it is free. And no, there is no pedestal, just viewing someone from afar whom I thought would no be into that. You should understand since I showed you who I was talking about

There are spiritual people besides her there. And some neo/ pagan religions honor the sacred sex worker (that's not the word used).

[–] Rhynoplaz 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You learned a valuable lesson. Nobody is who they say they are online. Except me, I actually am a big tiddy teenage girl.

[–] Alpha71 5 points 9 hours ago

See I would have believed you if you had added "Goth" in there.

[–] partial_accumen 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

it’s just that their online persona

This is the bit right here that is most important. Someone online isn't required to represent everything that they are there. In fact, appealing to a specific audience usually means tailoring yourself to a persona that appeals to that audience and subtracts anything that would offend them, as you want to retain them.

I imagine this is a big component of being a public figure or celebrity. You have a specific image you want to project to the world. Bill Cosby had a public image of the clean comedy (and eventually) father figure, while is private life included things that were very much different from that.

[–] Alpha71 2 points 7 hours ago

True enough. And I don't care, like I said, just surprised. This person isn't like Cosby (as far as i know😜)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe that’s her marketing plan to get more fans?

spiritual whiplash

Some kind of christian or tradwife influencer?

Remember that religion is mostly grifting and the best grifters earnestly believe their patter.

[–] Alpha71 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No. ( I also find it curious that everyone thinks the person I am talking about is female.😂)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

70% of OF performers are women - I'd wager that's why people are assuming a female subject.

[–] davidgro 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm genuinely surprised that it's not even more skewed. I wonder if it would have been had it (magically) existed a few decades ago.
