"The Manosphere and Online Pimps: The New Get-rich-quick Model of OnlyFans Managers", with Alex Somers and Eleanor Simmons

The manosphere's latest get-rich-quick scheme? Becoming an online pimp. Framed as ""talent management"", this business model repackages pimping and the exploitation of adult content creators for the digital age, and we're here to talk about it. We'll examine the misogyny baked into the model, how influencers are selling this money-making dream to young men and boys, and how we can start these conversations with the people in our lives who might be vulnerable to it. Over a pint, we'll unpack the hard questions and explore how we can talk to each other about the online economy, masculinity and consent.
