but once its found out, it is their business since it becomes public knowledge.
Here’s the neat part: No it isn’t. It’s not something the teacher does at school or during school hours, so it’s not public business.
What if the teacher wrote 90’s gangster rap songs? What if the teacher was a gun nut? What if the teacher wrote the next big group of gritty fantasy novels like ASoIaF? Lots of SA in those books… Should the teacher be fired then? What if the teacher lands a gig on Law & Order SVU as some sort of sexual offender? What if the teacher likes to jog in bootyshorts? That’s kinda scandalous. What if the teacher drinks pepsi, but this is a coke town?
All of those reasons are precisely as valid as your “concern” for a teacher with OnlyFans
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.
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.

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
What people do in their free time is their own choice.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Um, what? This logic could be applied to critical race theory about as easily as you’ve applied it here to Lolita. Way to prove that you really are a puritan.
sure, if critical race theory were child abuse, and if the author were a Russian aristo who fled to the US when the commies won. I suppose any logic can be applied to anything if we ignore what’s actually being discussed.
It really isn’t puritan to dislike Lolita and I think if you think that connection you’ve made through you’ll see why.
So, writing anything that multiple people misunderstand and find offensive, especially if it can be called ‘controversial,’ is an automatic disqualification from teaching, got it. Makes perfect sense, and I’m not at all deeply disappointed to see multiple hexbears upvote this horrifically bad take.

The only people who understand the book in that way are:
people who the book is about
people who haven’t read it but have read redditors talk about the book in the way those people would.
The only thing I can tell about Lolita is that there is a whole lot of people out there who definitely haven’t read but talk about it as if they had.
And if the writer was a teacher, I really wouldn’t care. Teachers write or say so much more fucked up stuff. Many are conservatives for instance. A whole lot.
then we can be sure that anyone writing such material shouldn’t be a teacher,
Sorry but what. You can’t be held responsible for people not understanding what you’ve written due to cultural tropes that have developed from random idiots who didn’t get it in the first place.
I’m sorry, but understanding that Lolita is NOT pro-pedo is the easiest thing in the world. You can’t even say “subtext”. I genuinely can’t think how a semi-functional adult could possibly misunderstand the text in that way. I know it does happen, but it’s really hard to conceive. The whole thing is pretty clear about it. The fact that the protagonist is a horrible monster who shouldn’t be trusted is literally in the opening. In no uncertain terms.

Was that what I wrote?
Boy I sure am glad I wrote more than that one sentence
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.

shit
What goes around comes around
We shouldn’t interact with each other the way we interact with chuds.
I consider them a chud because of their behaviour and opinion

I am absolutely fucking disgusted with this shit

So if someone says “child abuse is bad” they should be banned from teaching, because they said something about child abuse, do I have this right?
The only people who understand the book in that way are:
people who the book is about
people who haven’t read it but have read redditors talk about the book in the way those people would.

THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE TO BE ACCOMMODATED SHUT THE FUCK UP
You didn’t read it, did you?
And I’m not saying it’s a good book because it isn’t.
