OnlyFans / OF
Explained for parents by The Digital Childhood.
What it means
A subscription platform best known for adult content created by individuals. Teens hear it referenced constantly in jokes and music, and some try to sign up anyway, even though it checks ages.
How to bring it up with your kid
"I want to make sure you know what OnlyFans actually is, not just the jokes. It's a paid site with a lot of adult content, and it's a real privacy risk for any kid who tries to use it." I'd say it calmly and plainly, and keep any shame out of it.
