    Wait, you mean to tell me that the beautiful woman that you are talking to online could actually be a marketing team that is creating the idealized image of said woman designed specifically as a commercial product, like some kind of movie about a plastic doll, Barbie, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services?

    Who would do such a thing?

        Of course I am.

        Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and producer Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the Internet?

          Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

            I would have, if they named the movie “It’s Hardin’ Time” like I wanted, but nooo, “Nobody would get that reference, and what do you mean you want your character to ‘Tonya Harding all over Nancy Kerrigan’?”

              I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece “The Hardening”, but I guess my memory has played me.

              I consider this my “Mandela-Effect” moment.

      Even in 80s movies there were parodies in this. Grannies sitting in a call center, knitting while answering phones with “Hello, I’m Bambi. My cup size is …”

    The agency’s manager sent me a background memo about the woman I’d be playing, a purported 21-year-old university student blessed with physical proportions that are in vogue these days.

    In vogue these days? That just reminds me of how every generation thinks they invented sex. Or the Simpsons quote where Mr. Burns describes a past encounter: “We expressed our love physically, as was the style at the time.”

    Drag Queen Amanda Tori Meating has talked about her day job as a minimum wage Onlyfans writer. There’s an entire industry involving talent agencies representing low wage gig workers that pretend to be the model you’re paying $X per month to interact with.

    This is paywalled so I can’t read it and OF is not my preferred type of eroticism, so… there’s just text chat as well? Like OF Discord or something? I thought people typed something in and the person on camera responded to what they read?

    This seems like it is an interesting article. Unfortunately, I cannot read it due to a paywall. Oh well.
