A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    Because the millions of other people (this isn’t a gender thing) aren’t responsible for those minors. It’s also not just finding “naked people on the internet”. Onlyfans’ whole objective is to profit off of parasocial relationships. Models are directly engaging with their customers, and in a situation where a teacher ends up willingly or otherwise selling sex media to their student, obvious problems arise.

        I suppose I’m not sure what part of “teacher sells nudes and/or sex videos to student(s)”, purposefully or not, isn’t obviously problematic, but in general, the potential variations of issues are inexhaustible: determining whether the teacher is knowingly engaging their students, managing student behavior around the teacher, upholding the teacher’s authority with their students once the story is known, etc etc etc. There is no putting a lid on that sort of situation.

        • Ooo shit. She was offering free weekends for hee students? She was distributing promotional material to her students? She was telling them to sub to her OF?? Or are you reaching?.. its equally laughable that you believe students even knowing about this would degrade them into wild animals that no human could constrain.

            It’s a problem whether the teacher is actively engaging students in that way or not. And you’re the one that demanded hypothetical specifics. Did you do that just to shit on them for being hypothetical? Or are you gonna discuss this in good faith?

      Damn, if the kids are signing up for OnlyFans, maybe their parents are the responsible ones for not monitoring their Internet usage?

        And OF shouldn’t be allowing minors to access content in their site, but things aren’t perfect, and horny teens are going to be horny teens. This isn’t about who’s “responsible”, it’s about having realistic expectations.

        In high school, many of these kids are 18. Plus, you often don’t need to actually sign up in order to see plenty of explicit stuff
