What critics?

The linked comments are mostly shitting on billionaires for not doing this.

No one is complaining she built a school, they're complaining the actual wealthy won't do shit like this of their own accord despite having way more money. The implication being: billionaires shouldn't have a billion dollars.

Can you please share a reliable source? The article is repetitive AI stuff that could be false.

I couldn't find a Filipino English source, which is a little odd, but the main article people seem to be referencing is from TMZ:

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/06/onlyfans-model-maeurn-smiles-building-school/

Edit: Ack. Pretty darn sparse, I don't think this is a source for much. Anyway, the story is plausible enough, as is the range of reactions...

Who. The. Fuck. Cares.

Fuck the critics. Until they're fronting the cash, that's all they are. Critics.

If Ukraine ends up winning a war by legalizing and taxing adult sex work, will they be any less free a nation?

Who. The. Fuck. Cares.

There's a grift in the system. Exploit exploit exploit.

yes, I can manually corroborate it. On lemmy you can change the OP link; I am recommending that OP properly share their link from a good source.

Don't make me start whinging about AI and clankers. I want to be classy.

I will never ever understand this. Espeicially in this case. Why does she get the "critics" (Reddit commenters who probably masturbate to her anyway).

Their government is the one who failed, they should be getting the critics. It's the orphan crushing machine, no one is asking why she felt she needed to front money for schools in the first place

Try clicking the headline.

None of the ones quoted in the article are critical of her or what she's doing.
They're critical of society not doing it, due to billionaires hoarding all the wealth.

Like, this is what they're actually saying:

In a world where wealthy individuals and politicians are just too damn greedy and slow to respond to various economic problems.

It only took some OnlyFans model to deliver the infrastructure to build a school in poor areas.

The power of gooning everyone.

Meanwhile you're using portmanteaus of slurs like you're on 4chan

The biggest critic seems to be the article writer, who are posting quotes by “critics” who are just random redditors.

Well, they know they can take the focus off billionaires and societies because people are too lazy to read an article...

And this thread kind of proves them right

Would definitely sell booty on OF if it bought a school. Sadly that's like 0.1% of workers that get this lucky and while wife says I have a good one I don't think I'd get there.

I'm a little torn on this one. It feels similar to how a lot of US states use taxes generated from gambling/vices to fund schools. So you're basically making the next generations future dependent on other peoples vices.

But that assumes you consider porn/OF a vice like gambling and drugs/alcohol, which maybe isn't quite a one-to-one.

It's insane to me that someone works for their money and uses it for public good comes under infinitely more scrutiny than leeches with billions spending hundreds of millions to avoid paying fair taxes to PREVENT public good.

It is but a consequence of the failure of the Philippine government to try provide the unprivileged their basic needs, especially education, food security, and medical treatment, what with taxpayers' money being siphoned by politicians and subcontractors for things like Italian sports cars, two week vacations to Europe, and obnoxiously huge birthday parties.

So instead private citizens end up having to make philanthropic gestures to schools and hospitals.

Yeah, seems the only actual critic is the article writer. Asshole was probably transplanted from Victorian England and doesn’t like the idea of a gasp woman using her sex appeal to improve society.

yeah, and they voted for a Marcos, a dude literally funded from the theft his father committed, and his mother's a Senator and not strung up... a nation who could have voted for Lenni, so they got the government they deserve and aren't even trying.

this isn't a criticism of the lady in the article, she's awesome
