I would love to be able to enjoy selling burp content. For a long time, I did genuinely enjoy doing it. Overall, I like to make content and I enjoy working with fetishes that would otherwise make people raise an eyebrow. For me, being able to create a safe space for consenting adults to explore is the reason that I haven’t stopped. I have other jobs, other hobbies, other career paths that I work on but selling fetish content is something that I have been passionate about since the first time I saw a Playboy magazine. No, I don’t have this fetish but I can appreciate why it works for people.
When I found out that my massive burps were something that I could sell, you all seemed very happy about it. For a long time (going on three years) I have enjoyed getting to know different users and creating videos for them. I’ve even become able to really enjoy live sessions because of certain users being so chill.
Now I know there are SO many of you who feel that your fetish is a worthy excuse to steal from women who wouldn’t otherwise burp for you. What makes it worse is that you people will sell content that you didn’t create and then wonder why people don’t wish to stick around.
I know that we have beaten this topic to death but today I found out that someone has been selling my stolen content under a fake profile imitating me. I am disgusted and disappointed but mostly hurt.
I take pride in making content that people can enjoy without feeling guilty, with my burps getting better over time and even my filming quality improving. What sucks the most is that there are some of you who will justify the act of stealing AND making money off of the stolen products by saying that we are charging too much as creators. I don’t want to have to raise my prices but it keeps happening because a ton of you seem to think that we owe you the satisfaction for free.
This community is one that I used to genuinely enjoy despite being called names, told to k*** myself and being threatened constantly. In spite of the jerks, there seemed to be a genuine appreciation for the models at one point. For some reason this isn’t the case anymore. Maybe this is because burp fetish work became so semi-mainstream. Now that everyone knows they can burp and make money, the market is saturated. One would think that this influx of people offering this very niche fetish content would cause prices to go down because there is so much content available now, but no such luck.
This isn’t a big statement about every single member of the forum so please don’t come for me if the words don’t apply to you. I am just getting tired. Even when I left the forum to avoid being harassed, I kept producing and posting content to Manyvids because I genuinely have fun making it. People in my life come to me to make burp content because they enjoy being in my studio space. I’ve got friends who can’t wait to tell folks about how I burped in their face and they got paid well for it. For me, this is a part of my life that I love because it gives me room to get paid for being creative. It’s a way to utilize my skills as an artist, get paid and even create gigs for people in my local community.
I can handle a lot when considering this life path that I chose and I know what comes with the territory but damn. My point is this, I don’t want to stop making burp fetish content but not strictly because of the money. I want to continue being somewhat of an advocate for people who feel guilty about their sexuality. I want to keep being the person who stands up in a crowded room to make sure that no one is kink shaming. This part of my life has given me the confidence to stand up for content creators and content consumers, but I’m getting tired of being stolen from, insulted and harassed, all while being told that creators aren’t worthy of payment over and over again.
I’m not saying that I’m going to stop making content, just needed to get some of that off my chest.
Where was that person reselling the content?
I messaged you the site.
I know there’s nothing to be done about it through the forum or anything. I’m working on getting it taken down.
While I do understand your frustration, and I can commiserate… this is the internet. I’m certainly not EXCUSING toxic behavior, but all of us who grew up on Xbox Live knows people can be nasty. I was told to off myself online since I was around 9 or 10 years old. Not that it makes it okay, it’s horrid, but I don’t feel like it’s surprising.
I say this a lot on here, and I think it bears repeating. You can’t control what others do online, nor what they say. If your happiness or well-being depends on what others do, you’re in quite the trap.
That said, I wish you more luck in the future. Putting up with bad behavior can certainly be tiring. Get a snack, watch a movie, and take care of yourself :) Things will look up <3
I didn’t post this with the thought that anything would change, I just wanted to get my thoughts out. There are so many people who feel so comfortable being jerks online, I decided to find comfort in venting for a moment.
Thank you for your comment
Sorry youre having to go through that!
