So Dan from Game Grumps (aged 42) is getting cancelled for supposed grooming. I don’t want to say he’s not a groomer, because theres stuff about other alleged behavior that isnt detailed at all in it.

But like the story presented is that a 17 year old fan started messaging him. He thanks her for her support and wishes her a happy birthday when she turns 18 about a month later. Then nothing is shown until the fans 22 and they exchange some cringey sexts. Then apparently they fuck and he breaks things off. And everyone’s calling this grooming, but like, that’s not what grooming is? I donno, it just feels like people really have been stretching definitions of things for the last year like with that Alex Morse thing to take advantage of cancel culture. And it seems like it only causes people to ignore victims who are actually groomed.

Hell, having sex with anyone without paying them is a form of wage theft.

Now that everything is commodified, any action you take that is not compensated is wage theft. That’s why I stream my facecare routine on twitch, have a patreon for my cha cha posts and an only fans for my morning wank.

No, you see, my sex time is worth $x, and their sex time is worth $x, so in a two way consensual relationship, the wage cancels out. I could pay them $20 and they pay me $20, but we’d just be exchanging $20 bills.

No, that’s authoritarian (or liberal?). You have to let the free market (or central economic commission?) decide how much each of yours sex times is worth and have the cheaper party pay the difference. If you don’t do that someone is exploiting someone.
