I might actually be “old man yells at cloud” here, but I actually agree that this isn’t an appropriate street advert. That said, I also don’t think half the shit we see street advertised is either for a variety of reasons.
Saw this on local news yesterday and I’m inclined to agree with her, it’s no worse than alcohol or gambling ads which are perfectly legal and everywhere. If you want to ban adverts harmful to kids go after them all.
Plus – the billboard itself looks bland and is probably attracting more attention than it otherwise would, now that it’s covered in graffiti.
I find it funny that the feminists aren’t up in arms about this. Can’t have page 3 but this is OK? I’m actually surprised how they aren’t complaining about Onlyfans as well.
Advert itself doesn’t seem any worse than those “hello boys” one from a few years back, not defending it, just saying bra’s are not really that big a deal image wise. OTOH defacing posters is also a thing, I recall the “If this lady was a car she’d run you down.” response to Fiats campaign back when.
How is this advert of a woman with her tits out any different to the hundred billion other adverts that contain a woman with her tits out?
At least this one’s honest, not lynx implying you’ll be swarming in girls if you empty a can onto yourself.
“look kids, you can buy my nudes from here”. And i am a CONTENT CREATOR, alright?
If this billboard didn’t have Instagram or onlyfans on it, but had Victoria’s Secret instead, people would like have less of an issue.
She is absolutely correct, if a young child or young adult knows what onlyfans is, that’s a separate issue.
This is one of those things that people love to be outraged about.
I used to be completely against the is sort of thing, but it is hard to argue the logic of you are doing something at your own will, in a safe environment that you control that isn’t illegal, and can make several thousand to for some hundreds of thousands a year.. it makes business sense
This woman got **precisely** what she wanted. Publicity. It’s a clever marketing stunt.
However, for the sake of discussion…
On the one hand, I agree with her – it’s not much different from a bikini ad. I agree the awareness surrounding OnlyFans is a “wider issue” with regards to young people. I also don’t disagree with sex work, so long as it’s consensual and done from a good place.
On the other hand, her narcissism is very apparent, and it’s frustrating to see this type of behaviour get “rewarded”. I can’t stand influencers, and I can’t stand people who profit from loneliness. This glorification of sex work, OnlyFans etc needs to stop, because it is damaging in many ways.
Okay. Let’s get rid of them. Can we also get rid of vape adverts on bus stops whilst we’re at it?
1. more covered up then most lingerie ads
2. assuming content of onlyfans account is nudity, because people have taken the time to validate their assumptions. I don’t know but assuming ALL content on OF is nudity is just dumb blind thinking and people need to validate the information they been told
3. I do not know what their content is
4. someone hiring their own advertising, that’s cool. Miles different then exploitation of many back end work
5. alcohol does more damage but gets full pass ALMOST everything. 18 looks at some nudity, oh no. 18 drinks a 5£ bottle of whisky and ends up in hospital
6. you have to pay to view (my assumption) where the Instagram is left alone, like that is free nudity
7. if it was Patreon instead, where more have zero clue its a similar platform, would there be less uproar?
And everybody said: body positivity
Also everybody: no not like that
So I’ve just seen the ad and done a complete 180 in my opinion. I’ve seen McDonald’s ads more sexually explicit than that ad, I assumed it would be a full shot of the women in lingerie, but it’s just like a normal featureless bra at a mid shot with her Instagram being the most prominent focal point of the ad.
However, I assumed this was illegal, while I know for a fact advertising prostitution is illegal here, I would assume any kind of paid sex work would be illegal to have as an ad in the first place
What I think we need to be asking is, without the onlyfans name on the poster, it’s just her Instagram details, that isn’t pornographic or explicit in any way that stand outs compared to adverts on our very screens right now. If one small sentence is really what’s the issue with this ad, then what does that say about advertising in the UK as a whole? I for one think ads are far too liberal in tone, message and implication
Not sure how much she paid for the billboard but been worth every penny.
I mean it’s absolute genius isn’t it? I’m 100s of miles away from these billboards and am now fully aware that elizarosewatson is on onlyfans thanks to the BBC putting her advert on their home page. If I were in the market for such a service she would now very much be in my consideration set.
Almost as clever as that protein supplement beach body ready campaign from a few years ago.
Too many stupid adverts, during any sporting break on sky you will see erection dysfunction ads…. 3pm…. Yeah ok
This is not appropriate, it’s all good and well not being explicit in the advertisement, it’s what it directs towards.
Going on about children knowing what the OF logo is, is simply showing ignorance in today’s modern society. How about we just start advertising pornhub on the high street with a line about some stepbro, would that be acceptable? No.
Pretty classless ad but I’ve seen worse.
Wish we could just ban advertising in public altogether, nobody wants to see it.
Are we really trying to make porn mainstream so many comments defending it as if it’s normal. Regardless of what you think of only fans morally or not, you can’t pretend it’s the same as a company advert selling soap.
Teenagers talk, and I’m sure they know about onlyfans much earlier than most people think. There is already an influx of jobs that get money but don’t provide anything to actually generate the money. I.E youtubers, Instagram models, tik tokers, and now only fans.
At some point, it’s going to be outlandish for a young person to actually want a standard job and not be a content creator of some sorts.
Nah – it’s all fine. Nothing more wrong with that advert than is found on the front of many fashion magazines. People need to stop being prudes and get with modern times.
Never mind the OnlyFans debate, imagine paying for billboard ads for your Instagram account…
This comment section is insane lmao. You can say you aren’t against sex work but when you frame it as exclusively a harmful thing and that women are exploiting men and giving a bad impression to people then it’s pretty clear where you stand on the issue
The bigger issue is people consuming in public places, far worse than this.
I agree this is not appropriate for a billboard. It’s functionally equivalent to advertising pornhub.
I didn’t realise that this was the US. The only thing that should be banned is these religious nuts
sex work is decriminalized , as long as its all above board, leave them be
Some outlets are reporting that she’s making £200,000 a month. This billboard and subsequent exposure will likely boost her numbers, even it’s just Sun journalists putting it on expenses for “research”.
Who gives a fuck, there is nobody who is gonna see that who is gonna both care and have no idea how to access tits on the Internet already.
The message here seems to be advertising a form of sex work – bad (and a form where women are more likely to be in control). Yet, judging by the lack of complaints, gambling – good (it’s estimated there are around 250k gambling addicts in the UK at the moment).
Miles better than gambling advertising. Real misaligned values
They complain about this but not the trillion examples of gambling adverts? Which hurts society more I wonder.
