How do we feel about teachers fired for posting homemade porn?

This sounds like a common fallacy called 'emotional reasoning- it’s true not because of logic, arguments or evidence BUT only because it feels true.

Some people apparently aren’t. But OnlyFans requires a W9 and reports your income as any other legitimate contracting business does. If the person who gets the 1099 decides to ignore it and not report their income, they’re gonna get busted on it like any other 1099 contractor will. This is not something that is exceptional to OnlyFans in any way. Same will happen to you with Uber or Lyft or TikTok or my business or whatever platform you choose if you don’t account for the 1099 you received.

What’s exceptional is that they seem to be in legal trouble all over the place …

And then there’s this:

We are living in the world pornography has made. For more than three decades, researchers have documented that it desensitizes consumers to violence and spreads rape myths and other lies about women’s sexuality. In doing so, it normalizes itself, becoming ever more pervasive, intrusive and dangerous, surrounding us ever more intimately, grooming the culture so that it becomes hard even to recognize its harms.

One measure of this success is the media’s increasing insistence on referring to people used in prostitution and pornography as “sex workers.” What is being done to them is neither sex, in the sense of intimacy and mutuality, nor work, in the sense of productivity and dignity. Survivors of prostitution consider it “serial rape,” so they regard the term “sex work” as gaslighting.

From here:

That seems like a legitimate misunderstanding of local tax law than anything with criminal intent. They should have researched better and they are rightfully—according to those laws—paying for it.

Dang it.
I want my Doctor to be knowledgeable.
I want my Dentist to be clean.
I want my Priest not to fondle young boys.
I want my Pharmacist to be precise
Heck I want my Dogs groomer to be kind and gentle.

I DO NOT want my child’s teacher involved in an industry that degrades, demeans, uses and abuses women. Infested with drugs and misogynistic practices. Feeding it to boys and men with no compunction, like it’s some sweet candy.

She can come up with all kinds of excuses why she did it. She did it for money.

I do not like it.
I won’t like it.
It’s all kinda wrong.
That’s my opinion and I stand by it.

Only the teacher has to stay out of amateur porn? Not the doctor, dentist, priest or Pharmacist? Not the dog groomer?

The teacher needs to know she’s held to a high standard and not make foolish choices. For money.

For all I know my dog groomer is a crack hoe. But it’s not online. And her standards are on the low side as long as she’s kind to my animal.

I have other quibbles, but what about a male teacher doing the same thing, as you asked before?

Well said, and I agree 100%.

It’s like chipping away at the foundation of a building and exclaiming how stupid the whole thing is because it’s obviously not really necessary. A few creaks and squeaks as the foundation gets chipped away – meh, all to be expected! Then eventually the whole building comes crashing down. And then you write long-winded papers in sociology journals about “where did we go wrong?”, hoping to get at least a PhD out of it, if not a Nobel Prize!
.

What about it? I’d like to know that myself.
He would be a teacher. So I think he shouldn’t be posting sex videos either.

I’m pretty sure that was already answered (not by me) but my answer is: makes no difference at all. There is no gender role in determining moral behaviour.

Well, at least we agree there.

Maybe I missed it up post but several folks say the teachers shouldn’t be allowed to post porn because they are not just teachers but also role models. Aren’t parents also role models? Should people with school aged kids lose parental rights if they post homemade porn? I know I am being a bit over the top but do we have different levels or role model where some role models may post porn and others may not?

Nope. Teachers are trained, vetted, and hired based on their qualifications. Parents are not.

Which, in fact, makes the role of teachers all that more important.

I didn’t see “Don’t do porn on that list.” Almost like the teachers are role models inside the classroom and not out of it.

This loses me because in my experience there are parents that feel “the school authorities are not doing their job and I’d get my kids the hell out of there.” for invalid reasons (FTR: I think yours is invalid too). You’d be sitting there with parents that want their kid removed from a teachers class because
Their work is too hard.
They don’t let my kid play on his phone during class.
The teacher teaches about slavery
The teacher uses CRT even though I have no clue what that is.
The teacher didn’t let my kid turn in an assignment a month late.
etc.

So tell us exactly why doing porn makes the teacher suddenly not a good teacher viz. unable to teach your child.

So we do have different levels of role models. I assume you are not saying teacher role models are more important than parent role models. And before anyone flames me no,
I do not think parents should lose their rights for posting porn. Hence my “over the top” statement.

I think it is more of an outcome of the anti-teacher sentiment I see all around me. Even my own family gives me some shit how it is unfair that I get time off. Same thinking where women teachers lost their job for getting married (not sure how that was a morality issue), drinking in a public restaurant, being gay or lesbian, etc. Effectively because your are a teacher, your personal life needs a higher level of scrutiny than everyone else. Heaven forbid you live life like the rest of us.

That is the story I am sticking with until I see real, factual reasons why a teacher cannot be effective after getting caught doing porn as opposed to this nebulous argument we’ve seen here.

You said it. She got caught.
Proves it to me, if you have to hide it even you(the bigger you) knew it was wrong.
It was a choice this teacher made. She disguised her identity and hid her face.
She said in an interview she knew she was making a risky choice. She knew it was wrong.

I get you. If all things were equal we wouldn’t give a crap. Things are not equal.
Nobody said life is fair.

Like it or not a teacher is a role model and should conduct themselves in a way as to not harm the children they are tasked to teach.
That’s another choice. If you choose the profession you should have the good sense to know there’s not one School board who wouldn’t take some kinda action when faced with parents alarmed by this kinda thing.

Adding- if a big IF they were never caught, sure they could go on teaching. Living their double life.
Once they are caught tho’…well you can’t put Pandora back in the box, can you?

She knew there would be consequences. That does not mean it was wrong or that she thought it was wrong.

Risky=bad idea
