Headlines today warned that Onlyfans would be removing XXX content, leaving its platform to only allow nudity. Most content creators on Onlyfans are comprised of adult performers who make their entire living off of the platform. As the news makes its way across an industry that spans the world, we instantly recognize the financial despair and destruction this will cause our community. As anti-porn organizations celebrate, we brace ourselves for the crisis this will likely cause. Workers in our industry have families to care for, and this change will push many into potential homelessness.
As the union for adult workers, we have reached out to Onlyfans for guidance through this decision. As a platform that was built on the backs of its adult creators, Onlyfans has a responsibility to care for those who made them rich! Over the last two years, the union has worked to help hundreds of performers reclaim accounts and recoup more than a hundred thousand dollars in funds that had originally been seized by the company. We believe there are still many performers owed funds that were wrongfully seized and we will continue to fight for those workers!
As performers look to migrate their content to new platforms, the union will be meeting with those already established platforms to help create seamless transitions. We will also be offering services including mental health support and peer support. We encourage any performers who may be in need during this time to reach out via our email members@apagunion.com or Twitter www.twitter.com/apagunion
