OnlyFans creators are big mad at oEuphoriao for making sex work look
seedy and gross.
Several prominent ocontent creators,o including former oBoy Meets
Worldo actress Maitland Ward and popular OnlyFans personality Sydney
Leathers have publicly slammed Sydney Sweeney for her character
CassieAs storyline on the HBO series.
In this season, Cassie creates an OnlyFans to help fund her upcoming
wedding. She acts out strange fetishes, including dressing as a dog on
a leash and a baby in a diaper, plus sends one fan her underwear. These
antics have the real OnlyFans creators seeing red.
oThereAs just a lot thatAs ridiculous and cartoonish about it,o
Leathers told Variety in an interview published Sunday. oThereAs so
much that they have her doing that is not even allowed on OnlyFans, and
that alone is infuriating: the age-play stuff where sheAs dressed as a
baby in a diaper, for example. Credit card processors have very strict
rules that you have to abide by, and the rules are getting stricter all
the time.o
Ward also expressed her frustration over OnlyFans creators being
portrayed in a negative way.
oIn the climate weAre in, that they dressed her up as a baby to make pornographic OnlyFans content was beyond troubling and again serves to perpetuate stereotypes that sex workers have no moral compass and that
they will do anything for money,o she told the outlet. oAnd thereAs
always this untrue stigma that somehow sex work is synonymous with sex trafficking and abuse. And they just said, letAs make a joke of it.
That is so funny. IAm not laughing.o
Showrunner Sam Levinson told The Hollywood Reporter back in April that
the story arc was never meant to be flattering.
o[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose,
and that has its own humor, but what makes the scene is the fact that
her housekeeper is the one filming it,o he said at the time. oWhat we
wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that weAre able
to tie into it so that weAre not too inside of her fantasy or illusion
u the gag is to jump out, to break the wall.o
oSome of these scenes we only lit with these ring lights that she would
use. When youAre inside, itAs a beautiful, glowing front light, but
then you jump out of it and itAs just a pool of light and everything surrounding it is dark. ItAs just gnarly and jarring,o Levinson
continued. oWe wanted to capture what sheAs trying to show the audience
and be inside of it, but then also pull back wider and see how
depressing it is.o
In the latest episode, which aired on Sunday, SweeneyAs character
weighs in on politics and appears to lean Right. During a fictional
press tour, Cassie tells an online talk show host, oIf a man today were
to say that he wants a girlfriend who can cook or clean, he might as
well be screaming the N-word.o
Someone off camera replies, oYou sound like a Democrat,o which makes
Cassie laugh and say, oIAm not retarded.o
At another point, Cassie says, oI just feel like American men have been treated like second-class citizens a In the past, men used to be
hunters, gatherers, and protectors. Now, theyAre being forced to walk
around on their tippy toes. ItAs not natural.o
Her manager, Maddy, offers her take on the situation. oYou know whatAs
funny?o she asks Cassie. oThe angrier these idiots get, the more money
you make.o
Many commenters pointed out how CassieAs storyline mimics what people
really think about SweeneyAs personal politics, which she refuses to
confirm. They believe sheAs secretly conservative, especially following
the viral American Eagle jeans ad controversy.
