    I am here for the new world of “ethical gooning”

    Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

      I care, in that OF is far less harmful than people who got rich off Bitcoin, OpenAI, Nestle, etc…

      It’s insane to me that someone works for their money and uses it for public good comes under infinitely more scrutiny than leeches with billions spending hundreds of millions to avoid paying fair taxes to PREVENT public good.

    It is but a consequence of the failure of the Philippine government to try provide the unprivileged their basic needs, especially education, food security, and medical treatment, what with taxpayers’ money being siphoned by politicians and subcontractors for things like Italian sports cars, two week vacations to Europe, and obnoxiously huge birthday parties.

    So instead private citizens end up having to make philanthropic gestures to schools and hospitals.

    A bit weird that the “critics” listed in the headline are just random reddit commenters?

      Also that the critics are saying it’s actually totally ethical. Seem more like fans.

        Yeah, “critics are saying it’s ethical” is a weird-ass statement. “‘I really like this thing,’ say people who dislike the thing.”

        Yeah, seems the only actual critic is the article writer. Asshole was probably transplanted from Victorian England and doesn’t like the idea of a gasp woman using her sex appeal to improve society.

    What critics?

    The linked comments are mostly shitting on billionaires for not doing this.

    No one is complaining she built a school, they’re complaining the actual wealthy won’t do shit like this of their own accord despite having way more money. The implication being: billionaires shouldn’t have a billion dollars.

      The biggest critic seems to be the article writer, who are posting quotes by “critics” who are just random redditors.

        Well, they know they can take the focus off billionaires and societies because people are too lazy to read an article…

        And this thread kind of proves them right

    Who. The. Fuck. Cares.

    Fuck the critics. Until they’re fronting the cash, that’s all they are. Critics.

    If Ukraine ends up winning a war by legalizing and taxing adult sex work, will they be any less free a nation?

    Who. The. Fuck. Cares.

    There’s a grift in the system. Exploit exploit exploit.

        yeah, and they voted for a Marcos, a dude literally funded from the theft his father committed, and his mother’s a Senator and not strung up… a nation who could have voted for Lenni, so they got the government they deserve and aren’t even trying.

        this isn’t a criticism of the lady in the article, she’s awesome

      I prefer ethical gooning than watching kids grow up without a decent education. Good for her.

    Would definitely sell booty on OF if it bought a school. Sadly that’s like 0.1% of workers that get this lucky and while wife says I have a good one I don’t think I’d get there.
