  You’re wrong about onlyfans not being censored, it absolutely is being censored by the payment processors.

    Are they?

    They seem to accept credit cards. And: www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/…/77932811007/

    I’ve heard of the payment processors trying to dictate what isn’t and isn’t allowed on OF, which is of course scummy. But I really think they’re having their cake and eating it here.

      They are censoring what type of content people can make. Example: you’re not allowed to do fisting or squirting, or anything involving “bodily fluids”. Also in 2021, OnlyFans announced that it would ban “sexually-explicit conduct” from the site, citing payment processor pressure. That was obviously not done because of public backlash.

        small coreection: the credit card companies aren’t anything other than fucking cowards. They don’t actually give a shit, but there’s a bunch of weird Christian fundamentalist groups across the world who have realized they can put pressure on these companies by threatening them with frivolous lawsuits, and the credit card companies have decided it’s easier and cheaper for them to placate these lunatics.

        They are not anti-porn per se. PP are sexual deviants themselves. But since they have an international monopoly on commerce, they essentially want to have sex slaves for free forever.

        People seem to disconnect the Epstein class from the control freaks are one in the same.
