Brianna Coppage said she made $1 million on the platform, which she was using to supplement her teaching salary.

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…

  1. Sex work is real, valid work.
  2. There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
  3. “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.
  4. Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

    A straightforward concept and also a wrong one. Not firing people for one thing doesn’t mean not firing people for any other thing including being a fucking Nazi.

        I’m saying we shouldn’t. Are you saying that teacher is any of those people? There shouldn’t be a blank rule that people and corporations can exploit to do whatever the fuck they want.

            You can’t discriminate against minority groups (and just to give examples but not a comprehensive list) like black people, gay people, and you can’t discriminate against people based only on them being a different religion. Look up protected classes.

            You need to look up protected classes as well, they’re broader than you seem to think. It’s just as illegal to discriminate against people white people, straight people, men, etc. Because protected classes cover discrimination based on race, sex, etc without specifying which sexes, races, etc are protected because all of them are.

            Do I want the entity whose reason for existing is to decide which behaviors are acceptable and infringe people’s rights to decide which behaviors are acceptable? Would be nice, but I like your suggestion where I get to choose. Either of those is better than a black check for a person or corporation to fire you for whatever reason they decide is against their “values”

                So you think companies should have to hire nazis and pedophiles?

                No. I’m pretty sure we went over that 3 times already.

                  Right, instead you think companies should be free to fire people for certain beliefs and off hours behavior, but only ones you don’t approve of. As opposed to the current environment where individual private entities are allowed to choose what behaviors and beliefs they don’t approve of, within some limits.
