    I know not all will make this but 800k a month, it was mentioned before that some Irish girls are making 7.5k - 10 a month

    A part of the online persona of a lot of those girls, with the Irish girls as examples, is brag about how much money they get a month and that the man should feel privileged to send them money.

    There is constant screenshots, of men presumably, sending them money and them feeling insulted it wasn't more and demanding more or transferring tens of thousands to current accounts or thanking their bodies for allowing them to pay form this or that. It's crazy, and it seems to be working.

    Sounds pretty serious, also what an idiot. If charges are pressed (can gardai press charges knowing that some of the photos were of underaged girls or does one of the actual girls have to press charge?) will get done for child porn, that is any form of life he may of had over.

    Screenshots from the discord chat were also shared and it seems the participants were aware that some of the girls were under 18 and they didn’t care, some were even requesting more explicit content than what was readily available of these u18 girls.

    I genuinely don’t know how the law works in regards to prosecution but it by the sounds of it a lot of the girls involved made complaints to the Gardaí today so time will tell.
    They already know who their culprit is seeing as he shared his name and address along with the pics so I don’t imagine much investigation will be needed, unless they want to prosecute everyone who knowingly accessed the pics on discord as well.

    If he gets done for child porn his life will be ruined, no question

    No there was some Irish Only Fans stuff in there too, in fact I think it was mostly that kind of content. There was just some underage stuff that was posted without consent mixed among it which is what is making it all a bit more serious.
    But from what I can see on Twitter the majority of the content was in fact stuff taken from OF and other porn websites, so you’re right for the most part.

    Looking at instagram it seems to have been a mix of everything: Onlyfans, revenge porn, underage girls, girls not knowing that they were being filmed.

    just upset people are getting them for free really. Its a dangerous path were going down teaching young girls to sell themselves on the internet.

    The Internet teaches debasement of the self for likes, at least onlyfans is somewhat honest in what its about.

    I didn't see what was actually shared, only saw on twitter and instagram the nature of what was shared so I can't rightfully say if the media of the underage girls was taken by themselves in an onlyfans/sent to another capacity of if someone else took the media.

    Onlyfans failings has been documented for some time now though.

    Just looked at twitter there now, and so many '' My heart is with those, OFs users, especially those under age who had their nudes leaked''


    ''
    person who leaked the Onlyfans nudes will be sleeping soundly tonight while those kids may be crying themselves to sleep''


    ''
    so sick hearing about all the Only fans irish girls (who most are UNDERAGE) having their nudes leaked. those men deserve time :''




    goes on and one






    WTF are kids doing on there in first place, no one is asking that, it's just



    ''aww i'm so sorry those kids had their nudes leaked ,WTF''


    World is a fcked up place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,224 ✭✭✭Gradius


    Isn't that onlyfans thing like a soft porn website, essentially?

    All this social media guff teaches boys/men to treat women as objects and become walking wallets, while it teaches girls/women to treat men as ATM's and to become objects.

    It simply must be psychologically damaging.

    Like all that influencer shoite, a growing pile of people being taught to have zero utility in life, gurn at a screen and get money for such low efforts.

    What a pitiful waste of life, genuinely sad :/

    No, it's hardcore pornography for people who pay.

    If someone sets up an only fans it 99%+ of the time means they are offering hardcore pornography.

    Onlyfans can be whatever the content creator wants it to be. People subscribe monthly and can pay for individual content.

    Obviously it was taken over by the sex/influencer/celeb industries.

    You name it, you will find it there.

    Well the original concept is still there, there are 1000's of people on there doing Yoga, Cooking, Exercise, Singing, Art, Woodwork, Travel Vlogs, General Vlogging, ect ... you name it, all nothing to do with porn whatsoever.

    That may be true, but to put it into perspective most people there doing yoga, cooking, exercise, singing etc. are doing it as a backdrop to hardcore pornography. ;)

    Well if those kids wanted to get a drivers license they'd have failed by not proving age, but getting on OF's was easy. Yet OFs take no responsibility, click terms of use, and they're protected, so will gladly take 20% of those kids earnings.

    Ha no, maybe some. But lots of up and trying musicians on there, and vloggers, even celebrities, and they're not doing porn.

    I don't understand all this 😂 did they hack Of site? How was there underage images? Were they people underage on OF?


  • Registered Users Posts: 494 ✭✭robinbird


    Some of the outrage on Twitter is hilarious. From what I can gather most of the naked mages were sold by women for money to men on Onlyfans. There was no outrage or condemnation that all these women were making large amounts of money from selling porn to suckers.
    And seemingly no calls to ban or shut down the onlyfans private porn sites.
    The main anger seems to be because these images were seen by men that had not paid them for them.
    Hypocrites.

    It sounds as if it's a combination of the two, both adult nude images from a subscriber-only site and personal images shared with former partners by women and underage girls.

    Yes. Exactly.. But now they have got all the political parties involved and the Gardai are tracking down and will be prosecuting those that looked at their private porn for free. Politicians and newspapers all on board with the outrage.

    If you're going on the tweet above they don't always tell the truth. She has an onlyfans site so assume that's where the photos are from.

    I assume that onlyfans does age verification checks on these women before it allows them to sell private porn.

    The outrage is that men got to see them without paying. And again I don't know how it operates but if onlyfans allows the sale of porn without age checks on those selling it then that should be the real scandal. Not that these women are losing out on additional income.

    I presume the women who post adult content for subscribers know the risk of their pics being shared, for them it's probably a copyright issue.

    The scum who share personal pics of their former partners deserve to be prosecuted as criminals and/or sex offenders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,463 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde






    I see she deleted a tweet '' sub to my onlyfans''


    see here is a kid distributing CP on onlyfans, and her only problem is the leak and loss of earnings? She needs a visit from Garda herself in all fairness.
    And then she comes out with ## I only sent it to my BF''

    Teens are kids, when they are under 18.

    Except that's not what happened.

    Private, intimate photos of her when she was under age, or a child, were leaked without her permission. Her OF site came later.

    But thanks for making excuses for the lads jerking off to child pornography.

    Women have since the dawn of time traded sex. It is quite common for wives all over the world to use sex to gain control over their husbands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,797 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    There's a good few things that need to be separated out here and dealt with outside of the very obvious issue of your man sharing these types of images including underage girls with the world.

    1. Our younger people seem somewhat naive do they share these pictures of themselves in any manner and assume they will stay 'private'. You are relying on the security of the medium or moreso the intentions of the person or people you have sent them to. This has always been the case however nowadays it is so easy to do this, the downsides really need to be published, maybe this case will help but I doubt it.
    2. If people are being photographed without their consent or knowledge and it is possible to identify the photographer there should be ramifications for the photographer. But again this is difficult to achieve I would expect. This type of behaviour is again much easier to engage in due to technology advances over the past decade or more.
    3. If sites like only fans are hosting and facilitating the dispersal of nude images of underage kids the full rigours of international law should be directed at them as would be the case for other sites hosting child porn. They were obviously have not done their job if underage pics are available there.

    More broadly people need to realise that technology and communications have greatly increased the viability of taking and distributing pictures and videos over the past decade or more at this stage. We have a generation or two of people now who have been brought up in this age and the age of social media and the potential ability to live off an income generated from an online presence.
    Are we letting down our young people? Is there enough information being given to them on these topics? Should we have harsher penalties for those that take and share pictures without the subjects expressed consent?
    Are we miles behind with out laws,policies and abilities to handle these challenges?
    Should we care if adults who sell their pictures start banging the abuse drum if their pictures get hacked or released for free?

    I don't see why, but there should definitely be a serious clampdown.


    I can't see why it would be so difficult to pass a law that states, if child porn turns up on a server owned by "X" then X is guilty of distributing child porn unless they can prove they took every reasonable and available step to block it in the first instance, and remove it in the second instance, should they have honestly failed to block it.


    We asked the 12 year old what age she was and she said 18 is just not going to cut it. If you are happily profiting from selling this shít you are a fúcking scumbag, and should be treated as such, end of story! Same thing if you are buying it, viewing it, trading it or whatever.

    I was under the impression that this is the law. Even an underage person sending/sharing/selling photos of themselves, even to a partner, is effectively distributing child porn.

    I've never understood it as a business model since you're competing with zettabytes of free content from more than two decades of online porn, but then I've never understood paying for porn in general for this reason, and obviously plenty of people still do it. So I must be missing something?

    If need be, yes. Or some other way, it's really up to them to find some way to comply with the law, not for the law to find a way to comply with their business.



    Why should some company be allowed to peddle underage porn just because it would take a bit of effort to not peddle it?


    You've to prove your age for all sorts of things. 13 year olds can't just rock up to O'Briens and buy a bottle of Tequilla, and if it turns out that O'Briens just can't be arsed checking on peoples ages, there will be serious repercussions for them.

    Can someone explain to me how there was a centralised repository of private pics and videos or whatever that thousands of women only shared with their boyfriends that suddenly got released?

    Something doesn't add up. I'm an old guy in IT, I understand the IT side but am clueless about this OnlyFans stuff.
