  What’s the misogyny?

    Well, would this joke have worked as Malcolm X’s Only Fans? Would anybody have bothered to message a friend to share that Warpigs username? There’s no connection to what Parks is known for, no parody or subversion of expectations, other than the transgression of presenting a respected, famous person as a low-status sex worker. And it only works for a woman.

    (OTOH, Henry Kissinger’s Only Fans might work based on the incongruity of anybody thinking of such a ghoul in a sexual context.)

      Oh i see what you mean. Although i think there are some male historical figures that a similar joke might work for:

      • Abraham Lincoln’s only fans
      • Julius Caesar’s only fans
      • Socrates’s only fans
      • Mahatma Gandhi’s only fans

        Mahatma Gandhi’s only fans

        Yeah, that one is dark humor.
