Porn Performers Are Giving Away Content for Elizabeth Warren Donations

Talk about using what you got.

At this week's Democratic Presidential Debate, things got more than a little hot. Elizabeth Warren in particular, came out swinging, effectively dismembering each of the other candidates. It was a spectacular showing that brought in a flood of donations from supporters.

According to her campaign, Warren raised over $5 million after stepping on the stage at the debate. And while a lot of that came, no doubt, simply off the strength of the showing, some of the money that the candidate has raised (particularly from small donors) came from a few sex workers who put their content on the line in support of their top pick.

As the debate was going on, Twitter user Kenny posted a challenge to his followers. "If you send me a screenshot of you donating to Elizabeth Warren I will give you my alt and if you already have my alt I'll give you a month of OnlyFans." Truly, an offer!

"Honestly I was just donating last night and saw other people donating and kind of did it as a joke to see if anyone would donate to get my alt," Kenny tells Out of why he tweeted the challenge. The alt account -- which we have viewed -- is one of many on Twitter set up to post NSFW content that's not associated with one's main internet presence. "Then it just snowballed into a literal grassroots moment of people seeing people donating and then them donating and then others doing it." But, the user has been doing more than just giving people the handle of his alt account, which contains nudes and short NSFW clips, but also a free month-long subscription to his OnlyFans which presumably -- we have not viewed the account -- contains longer versions of the clips available on the alt.

"A lot of people have DM'd me saying that this is their first presidential donation and that my incentive pushed them to do it which is awesome," he says. "Especially as someone whose first campaign donation was Warren as well." On Thursday, Kenny revealed that he's given out over 200 subscriptions for donations that range from as little as $3 and up through $500. But the move also inspired others.

Another performer, who requested to remain anonymous, took up the mantle as well.

"Same," he wrote in a quote tweet of Kenny's original post. "DM me a screenshot showing that you donated at least $10 and I'll send you a free month subscription." He later followed up the tweet saying that the effort raised over $3,000 for the candidate.

This is, of course, not the first time things like this have happened. A few months ago, sex workers took to social media to exchange their nudes and free subscriptions to their fan pages in exchange for donations to charities that were helping out with that effort. Inspired by Kaylen Ward who raised over $1 million for the effort, gay performers like Rocco Steel and CagedJock offered similar schemes.
