I am her for the new world of "ethical gooning"

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

For all of human history, porn has always been at the vanguard of progress. Horny power go!

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.

she did a good thing with her money. OF is how she makes money. I really don't care.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago

OF is farm-to-table pornography.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

That's better than any billionaire has done though unethical capitalism.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

probably by miserable people who have never done one good thing for another human being their whole life

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 39 points 3 hours ago

She flashed her ass to a bunch of people for money and then did something good with it and that's somehow bad?

This world is so fucked up.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Critics gonna crit. The ethics police will refuse to acknowledge you for rescuing orphans from a fire if they discover you liked a hivemind-disapproved tweet in 2016.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

How is using the word ethical to describe something a criticism?

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 25 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Ethical gooning is quite a term.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 8 points 2 hours ago

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

Okay ... Which one of you gooners is running this? that domain was created just yesterday.

[–] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 1 points 35 minutes ago

Cant wait till this is an ETF

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 40 minutes ago

Porn that creates schools & does other public good is something I would actually pay for, lol.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Which one of you ethical gooners.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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.

[–] slouchy@lemmy.ca 63 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 81 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 21 points 6 hours ago

I will never ever understand this. Espeicially in this case. Why does she get the "critics" (Reddit commenters who probably masturbate to her anyway).

Their government is the one who failed, they should be getting the critics. It's the orphan crushing machine, no one is asking why she felt she needed to front money for schools in the first place

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 hours ago

We are talking about a country dealing with major government thief (flood funds). Just bc her pussy does more good than multiple people alive. Fuck the haters!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 110 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 21 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 28 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Can you please share a reliable source? The article is repetitive AI stuff that could be false.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I couldn't find a Filipino English source, which is a little odd, but the main article people seem to be referencing is from TMZ:

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/06/onlyfans-model-maeurn-smiles-building-school/

Edit: Ack. Pretty darn sparse, I don't think this is a source for much. Anyway, the story is plausible enough, as is the range of reactions...

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Can you please share a reliable source?

Well, it links to her non-explicit social media....

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

yes, I can manually corroborate it. On lemmy you can change the OP link; I am recommending that OP properly share their link from a good source.

Don't make me start whinging about AI and clankers. I want to be classy.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world -2 points 2 hours ago

I'm a little torn on this one. It feels similar to how a lot of US states use taxes generated from gambling/vices to fund schools. So you're basically making the next generations future dependent on other peoples vices.

But that assumes you consider porn/OF a vice like gambling and drugs/alcohol, which maybe isn't quite a one-to-one.

opposing building a school because a sw'er did it is the kind of stupid that could only come from the british

[–] mynameisbob@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 hours ago

gawd goverment has failed... capitalism is a cancer. This is the solution I suppose.
