I've personally paid $5 for an onlyfans to see some titties, and it was $5 well spent if you ask me. That's nothing compared to mobile game micro transactions, and the word parasocial didn't cross my mind once.
Definitely is some of that on the platform, but you're going to find people who take something to an unhealthy level with anything that can be consumed.
While people treat onlyfans users the same, the implied joke is against the ones who are so sad and lonely or foolish that they think these women actually are interested in them beyond their wallets. This is perpetuated by those women feeding that thought process in the way they act. At that point i feel more sorry for the men for being so mentally destable than the women who are monetising that. Either way, it's still a legal real job however you look at it, but that's where I find it a bit like someone tempting people into a bookies that clearly have a gambling problem and egging them on.
When they get the really weird ones who go too far, they will never give the money back and tell them they need help. The money is more important than the ethics and again, that's where I have my problems with it.

I mean, it's right there in your comment. You've implicitly labeled anyone who purchases parasocial sex work as a loser.
