    Something that a teacher advertises publicly is the public’s business.

    I think if they’re writing books with that kind of material, then yes - I’d fire nabakov immediately for example (at the least). With the 90s gangster rap, it depends on the content. With the guns, it depends on what kind of related material they were publically releasing.

    Some of your other examples are too petulant and silly to respond to.

      Lmao are you Helen Lovejoy?
      WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

      What people do in their free time is their own choice. You judge teachers on what they do at school, because that’s where they’re teachers.

      Some of your other examples are too petulant and silly to respond to.

      Oh I thought we were supposed to assume good faith in order to have a productive discussion? My examples show that there is no cutoff for your moral panic, it’s completely arbitrary. You of course won’t engage with this because you’re a shithead who thinks “debating” is something to be proud of debate-me-debate-me

        Let me put this in the simplest way possible. The second you focus your energies on defending teachers’ rights to do online porn, you have ceded the entirety of discourse surrounding the Education System to the conservative right at best, and the fascist right at worst. You will be exiled to the fringes of society by the parents themselves.

        Sometimes it’s not about Libertad, Carajo.

          Let me put this even simpler: If your response to hearing a teacher has an OF is “they should get fired” then you suck. If your response is “well if you defend the teacher for having an OF then you lose the optics war!” then you suck and you’re stupid. For one we’re on a niche internet forum, nothing here matters. Behaving like this in any way constitutes as the public discourse with weight to change anything is silly. For the other it’s not a good thing that teachers have OF platforms, but blaming them for it and going along with that puritanical moral panic is giving away territory in your so precious discourse.

          Libertad? This isn’t some libertarianism thing.

          Also all the people that are arguing “well what if my kids find porn of their teacher?” Should probably implement some sort of parental control, if they’re so worried of their children finding porn.

          Picking your battles is important. A teacher doing OnlyFans is a great example of something that’s defensible but very much not a hill to die on.

            This is a niche shitposting leftist forum. There are no hills here. Nothing matters. It’s all valleys, which makes it all into mountains and molehills as well.

        Well we should think of the children, its important socially.

        You’ve said elsewhere that you’d be concerned if a teacher were a facist - would you not mind if they were teaching to the cirriculum at school, but in their time off work publically promoting fascist material? I don’t mean to conflate the two subjects (fascism and pornography), but just point out that we don’t (and shouldn’t) judge teachers just on what they do at school. Of course, then it becomes a question of what is and isn’t acceptable for a teacher to be doing in public outside of work, and I don’t think its moral panic to say that pornography is not acceptable - sex education and teaching about relationships is very sensitive as a subject for people because as I’ve said there’s a great potential for harm and exploitation.

        We should assume good faith until demonstrated otherwise of course. You don’t think your pepsi coke thing was silly?

                How do you expect to get anything done if you call other people on your small leftist forum chuds because you disagree on one thing despite agreeing on 99 others? You know there will be plenty of other leftists who disagree with you on this or that, right?

                  I think they’re a chud because they have a puritanical worldview and they use typical chud debatebro tactics.
                  I don’t expect to get anything done thru a website and I sincerely hope you don’t either. This isn’t a place for organizing it’s a safe space for leftist shitposting and it sincerely saddens me to see people be so blindly supportive of obvious puritanical moral panic BS.

                  You know there will be plenty of other leftists who disagree with you on this or that, right?

                  IRL I’ve had this conversation while I worked at a school and one of the temps that worked there turned out to have an onlyfans. The only person who got fired was the guy who made a big stink about it. This was because we worked with children and people found it weird how obsessed he was with porn.
                  I’ve done plenty of IRL organizing and you’d be surprised the kinda things you can talk out with regular normal people. I don’t have to agree with them on everything, but being weird judgemental prudes using debate tricks learned by 3rd graders don’t make them into someone where one can have a fruitful cooperative effort.

                    “I disagree with this person therefore they’re a chud therefore I can be as big of an ass as I want to them” is a shitty way to interact with people here. “It’s just a website” is a bad excuse because it makes interactions on that website shittier and how we act online bleeds through to the real world.

                    The only person I saw using “debate tricks” was you, and you can’t say on one hand this is a website so you can be an ass to whoever you want, then on the other hand complain about stuff like that.

      If you think Lolita was condoning its subject matter then you completely misunderstood the entire message of the book. This is why we need media literacy.

        Fans of that book, or the literati, always say that, and yet its very popular with child abusers. No doubt there are those who read it and were disgusted. Most people however don’t need an elaborate fantasy novel to tell them that kind of thing is very very bad.

        If I’ve misunderstood the message, and others have too (it isn’t generally well liked, except in certain circles, usually called at least ‘controversial’), then we can be sure that anyone writing such material shouldn’t be a teacher, and certainly children shouldn’t be exposed to it - and the way communities work, children at such a teacher’s school would be well aware of any controversial publications they might have made. Personally, I think it is a literary trick (like the ‘poverty porn’ genre) to justify the promotion of dodgy material to a certain class for titilation, so I’d do a lot more than sack such an author.

      You didn’t read it, did you?

      And I’m not saying it’s a good book because it isn’t.
