James Fishback OnlyFans Tax: Proposed 50% ‘Sin Tax’ for Florida Creators

Florida has long been dubbed the "OnlyFans Capital of the World," but gubernatorial candidate James Fishback wants to make it the most expensive place to operate. His proposed 50% "sin tax" on creators isn't just a budget line item—it’s a full-scale cultural offensive.

Fishback’s logic is two-fold: treat digital adult content like tobacco or gambling to fund Florida’s struggling school systems, while effectively "taxing out of existence" a platform he labels as "online degeneracy." He claims the tax could generate $200 million for teacher raises and school meals.

However, the backlash has been swift and fierce. Top creators argue that the tax is a blatant constitutional violation and a form of selective "moral policing." Critics point out a glaring logical hole: if the goal is to stop the behavior, the revenue stream is inherently unstable. If creators leave the state to avoid the tax (as many have threatened to do), the "hundreds of millions" for schools vanishes instantly. For now, the proposal stands as a provocative litmus test for Florida’s conservative base: is it about the money, or the message?
