Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy (www.kbtx.com)

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

Sex work is real, valid work.
There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
"But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

Would you include protesting? What about protesting an abortion clinic? What about attending a MAGA rally? What if you found out a coworker was heavily involved in the KKK but never discussed it at work?

I’m asking these questions because I entirely agree with you. Activities outside of work should have no influence on your treatment at work. This includes both things we support and things we do not support.

Would you still agree?

I would. I consider the capitalists we're forced to work for under threat of homelessness to be the primary cause of the emboldened cults of willfull ignorance you mentioned.

They've been propagandizing us en masse since Reagan to reject evidence for their profit, stuff like "climate change is a hoax to sell books!" That led to a self-sustaining American proud ignorance they can no longer control.

The MAGA people are the capitalist's Frankenstein. The capitalists are more responsible for them than the poor gullible bastards are for themselves.

And I can't report them, as they own this fucking place and all of us. The MAGAts and freshly emboldened white supremacists are just side effects of Wall Street.

I continue to agree with you and I appreciate the response.

Are you comparing a domestic terrorist organisation that regularly commits hate crimes to adult work?

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’m comparing two topics that tend to be controversial.

[–] foo@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

A domestic terrorist organisation with a history of racial violence isn't "controversial" it is objectively terrible and putting both sex work and domestic terrorism on the same set of scales to be weighed against is totally fallacious and suggests that that you are not being a fair actor in this.

As for maga, there are plenty of teachers out there who are maga, anti vax, religious conservatives, and other out there organisations who aren't getting fired for their out of work connections.

However if the teacher participated in insurrection or promoted their beliefs inside classrooms then it becomes a significant issue.

Just like if someone is engaging in legal and consenting adult work at home what business is it or anybody else.
