"Onlyfans Sin Tax" Proposed by Florida Gubernatorial Candidate James Fishback

James Fishback, who is hoping to be Florida's next governor, is proposing a 50 percent "sin tax" for OnlyFans creators. In a video posted to X, James said that he doesn't want "capable and smart" young women to "sell their bodies to sick men online."

James Fishback runs the organization Incubate Debate, which was meant to help Florida school districts build debate programs for students. However, Florida school districts cut ties with him after he was accused of sexual misconduct, according to NBC News. He faced allegations of having an inappropriate relationship with a student who was a minor at the time.

It's ironic that this guy would be so adamant about "protecting" young women. But here's what he argued.

In James's video, he said, "If you are a 'so-called' OnlyFans creator in Florida, you are going to pay 50 percent to the state of whatever you 'so-called-earn' on that online degeneracy platform." He said that the money would be used to fund education, pregnancy crisis centers, and "the first of its kind, mental-health czar for men in particular."

According to Floridians for Reproductive Freedom, organizations in Florida that call themselves "pregnancy crisis centers" have a long history of misleading women seeking abortions and essentially coercing them into not having the procedure.

James said that men have been told they have been "guilty of masculinity" and "all of society's ills." "I'm not going to stand for that slanderous lie," he said.

"I'm going to end this lie that says that toxic masculinity is responsible for all the sins and ills of society," said the man who wants to police women's bodies and take sex workers' earnings to fund centers that step on women's reproductive freedoms.

"The purpose of a sin tax is to disincentivize and deter a behavior," he said. "I don't want young women, who could otherwise be raising families, rearing children ... I don't want them to be selling their bodies to sick men online."

"I don't want young, impressionable men who have strayed from Christ ... to be told, and drawn into lust and have their entire brain rewired," James added.

He claims that the tax will raise hundreds of millions of dollars in income. James added that if the tax doesn't raise that much money, it will mean that "something even greater has materialized for the young women and young men of our state."

Sophie responded by saying the last thing she expected was for a Florida gubernatorial candidate to try to "start beef with [her] for clout." In a video, she points out that she already pays 37 percent tax to the government. "I would be more than happy to pay that if multi-billion-dollar organizations were also being properly taxed. But surprise, they're not," Sophie stated.

She argued that there are better ways to raise funds, like taxing corrupt corporations, and said that people don't realize many OnlyFans creators are on the platform because they are struggling financially. "To tax them like that when they're literally doing it just to support their families is sad," she said. Sophie concluded that she'd much rather donate directly to people in need.
