The Courier Mail’s Hypocrisy on OnlyFans. · The Slippery Slope

• 0:01
  So last year the Courier male here in QLD published several
• 0:05
  articles which in my opinion glamorised only fans.
• 0:10
  They were framing it as a legitimate career career path
• 0:14
  for young Queenslanders. They highlighted success
• 0:18
  stories, talked about income, presented online sexual content
• 0:24
  creation as empowerment, which I spoke about last year.
• 0:30
  I did, I did several episodes on it because to be honest, I'll
• 0:33
  just disgusted in the way they framed, they framed these
• 0:37
  articles presenting them as these legitimate career choices.
• 0:41
  And you know, today, this very day, and what is it?
• 0:45
  The sixth of the 7th here in in Queensland, where I am, it's
• 0:48
  Monday the 6th of the 7th, 2026. The same newspaper has published
• 0:53
  a new article warning that Australian schoolgirls are being
• 0:58
  groomed into the porn pipeline through social media.
• 1:03
  So which is it? Career male?
• 1:05
  Is only Fans a glamorous career? Or is it a dangerous pipeline
• 1:11
  pulling young girls into exploitation?
• 1:14
  The career male can't have it both ways.
• 1:17
  I'm Jay Fallon and this is the Slippery Slope podcast.
• 1:34
  Clearly, OK, the Career Male promotes only fans as a a new
• 1:38
  generation career celebrating young women making money online.
• 1:44
  Several, several articles. Several articles going down this
• 1:48
  line of thought promoting it. They frame sexual content
• 1:51
  creation as normal, a viable, even admirable.
• 1:56
  Then Fast forward to July this year.
• 1:59
  Today, the Career Male warns that schoolgirls are being lured
• 2:02
  into selling their bodies online.
• 2:05
  They describe a porn pipeline that starts on social media and
• 2:10
  ends on platforms like Only Fans.
• 2:13
  These articles contradict each other completely.
• 2:18
  One glamorises the industry, the other condemns, condemns its
• 2:23
  consequences. This isn't, it's not journalism.
• 2:27
  This is it's moral opportunism. They're like the, the career
• 2:32
  male is acting, behaving like a Reed swaying in the breeze.
• 2:37
  You know, they're bending whichever way the cultural wind
• 2:40
  blows. They have no standards, no
• 2:44
  consistency, and no moral backbone.
• 2:48
  They're they're not protecting young people.
• 2:52
  They're not taking a stand, they're not offering clarity,
• 2:57
  they're simply chasing whatever narrative they think will sell
• 3:01
  today. Last year the empowerment angle
• 3:04
  sold, today the danger El angle sells.
• 3:08
  This is the instability of a media organisation that has
• 3:12
  abandoned truth for trends. So this is the real damage.
• 3:18
  The way I see it, it's the deeper problem.
• 3:21
  They helped creates the very pipeline they're now pretending
• 3:26
  to expose. When mainstream media normalises
• 3:31
  sexual content creation, it's it.
• 3:35
  It lowers cultural guardrails. It glamorises exploitation.
• 3:40
  It reframes prostitution as empowerment.
• 3:44
  And Only fans is just another form of prostitution.
• 3:47
  It tells young people you know this is normal, this is success.
• 3:52
  It creates the environment where grooming thrives.
• 3:56
  You cannot promote only fans one year and then act shocked when
• 4:02
  young girls are drawn into it the next year.
• 4:05
  That's not journalism career male, that's hypocrisy.
• 4:10
  So look, look, when I was in policing, I've spoken about a
• 4:14
  number of times my career in, in Queensland police, when I was in
• 4:18
  Korea in policing, I could see, I saw first hand out
• 4:23
  exploitation pipelines work. And here's the truth, they
• 4:26
  rarely, they really start with a criminal lurking in the shadows.
• 4:31
  They start with culture, they start with messaging.
• 4:35
  They start with what young people see online, with what we
• 4:38
  all see online, what's what we hear from influencers and and
• 4:42
  yeah, what what we even read and see and hear in mainstream
• 4:48
  media. When a newspaper like the
• 4:50
  Courier Mail publishes A glossy piece celebrating online fans as
• 4:56
  a career, they're not just reporting, they're shaping
• 4:59
  expectations. They're they're telling our
• 5:02
  young people this is normal, this is a viable way to make an
• 5:07
  income, this is acceptable, this is success.
• 5:11
  And once you normalise the behaviour, predators don't have
• 5:18
  to work as hard. The culture does the grooming
• 5:22
  for them. By the time an actual predator
• 5:26
  enters the picture, the groundwork is already done, The
• 5:29
  guardrails have already been lowered.
• 5:32
  The idea of selling your body online has already been framed
• 5:37
  as empowerment. So when the Courier male
• 5:40
  pretends to be shocked today, shocked that schoolgirls are
• 5:45
  being lured into selling their bodies online, I don't buy it.
• 5:50
  They helped build the environment where this could,
• 5:54
  where this could happen. They helped soften the ground.
• 5:58
  They helped. They really helped normalise the
• 6:02
  behaviour. This is why cultural messaging
• 6:05
  matters. This is This is why media
• 6:09
  responsibility matters. And This is why hypocrisy and
• 6:12
  journalism is so dangerous. Dangerous.
• 6:15
  It's what's that phrase that Ben Shapiro, Ben Shapiro uses?
• 6:20
  It's journalisming. This is why it's so dangerous.
• 6:26
  Remember, scripture speaks directly into this moment in
• 6:33
  James 1/8. It says a double minded man is
• 6:37
  unstable in all his ways. That's the career male in my
• 6:42
  opinion. Double minded, unstable.
• 6:44
  One year they're promoting sexual content creation, the
• 6:48
  next year they're condemning the consequences.
• 6:52
  It's moral confusion dressed up as journalism.
• 6:55
  They're just like a Reed swaying in the breeze.
• 6:59
  That's what the career male is doing.
• 7:01
  Bending towards whatever sells today.
• 7:04
  Remember. Remember that scripture, Isaiah
• 7:07
  520? Woe to those who call evil good
• 7:10
  and good evil. Last year the career male called
• 7:14
  called it all, called this evil practise good.
• 7:17
  They were glamorising only fans. Today, they're calling it evil,
• 7:22
  pretending to be shocked by the pipelines, which in my opinion,
• 7:26
  they helped create. This is moral inversion.
• 7:30
  This is what happens when truth is abandoned, and this is what
• 7:34
  happens when culture replaces conviction.
• 7:39
  So let's let's finish this off. Here's what we need to
• 7:43
  understand. OK, Clearly media, media outlets
• 7:48
  are not moral authorities. They they follow trends and not
• 7:52
  truth. They will promote whatever
• 7:55
  sells, even if it harms young people.
• 7:57
  Cultural messaging shapes behaviour.
• 8:00
  When you normalise sexual content creation, you open the
• 8:05
  the door the door to exploitation.
• 8:08
  When you glamorise only fans, you make grooming easier.
• 8:12
  When you celebrate selling your body online, you make it harder
• 8:18
  for young people to recognise danger.
• 8:21
  We cannot be passive consumers of media.
• 8:25
  We cannot let newspapers tell us what is normal.
• 8:29
  Online newspapers, physical newspapers.
• 8:32
  We cannot let culture define morality.
• 8:35
  We need discernment. We need clarity.
• 8:37
  We need conviction to stand up for what is right and not just
• 8:43
  what society thinks says is right one day and changes its
• 8:47
  mind the next. You need to you need conviction
• 8:51
  to stand for truth, because truth doesn't change.
• 8:55
  If we don't stand firm, we we become just like that.
• 8:59
  Read that, I said the career male is, you know, just swaying
• 9:02
  in the breeze, bending toward whatever the world tells us is
• 9:06
  popular. The the Courier male cannot
• 9:09
  promote only fans one year and condemn its consequences the
• 9:13
  next. That's not journalism.
• 9:15
  That's hypocrisy. They are the Reed just swaying
• 9:20
  in the breeze, bending toward whatever cells.
• 9:23
  This is exactly why we need truth.
• 9:26
  We need discernment. We need courage to stand up for
• 9:30
  moral, moral values because without them, our culture
• 9:36
  continues to slide down the slippery slope.
• 9:40
  Anyway, this is all just my opinion.
• 9:44
  I'm Jay Fallon. Thanks for listening to the
• 9:46
  Slippery Slope.
