Below are a collection of the open letters that I have written to John Baku, over the course of my time on Fartloaf, about the site. Unsurprisingly, they have gone ignored and the site continues to get worse, on a weekly to monthly basis. Another interesting point is that the letters written to Baku, by other users on the site, no longer appear in the site’s search results. I hope they haven’t been deleted due to the rampant censorship and silencing tactics Fet’s Carebears employ against dissenters and whistleblowers.
Part 1 (2020/10/19)
Congratulations, John Baku!
You’re now infamous for giving White Supremacists a platform where they can freely spread their hatred, harass BIPOC and plot genocide without fear of reprisal. I guess all the years of being-hands off, minimising and deflecting have finally caught up with you. What are you doing about it? Sweet FA! Instead, you’re going after the people who engage in political discussion and you’re trying to ban the Only Fans (OF) crowd, who’re just trying to earn a little (extra) money to make ends meet. Actions speak louder than words, as does inaction.
This is beyond “so not cool”, dude! Here are some points for your consideration:
The people who’re complaining about OF pages/accounts are (mostly) Incels, MGTOW and entitled douche canoes. Personally, I’m not complaining. Nor are a number of women (and not just the ones with OF accounts). Therefore, the “everyone complaining” categorisation is invalid. The use of such hyperbole is an immature teenager-lever tactic. Gag me with a spoon!
If you must know, I’m following some wonderful women with OF accounts. They have made no effort to advertise to me, other than link their OF accounts in their profiles and pictures, which I feel they’re perfectly welcome to do. In fact, they mostly ignore me. At most, I’ve got the occasional “love” for a comment I’ve left on a picture or writing and that’s the extent of it.
OnlyFans (OF) doesn’t cater exclusively to sex workers, just as Patreon doesn’t exclusively cater to artists who draw ecchi/hentai manga. Yet, nobody complains about the women with Patreon accounts or the non-women with OF accounts. It’s only plain sexism and anti-sex-work BS at play here.
Sex workers are, if I’m correctly informed, some of the first people to support this site. Various laws/bills (FOSTA/SESTA) have produced causes/motivations that kicked them out of other sites on the Net. By allowing them to be here for as long as you have and profiting off their participation/patronage, you yourself are involved in the sex industry (even if you won’t admit it). If you push them out/off of FL because of some vocal whiny jizz wickets who don’t know how to ignore/block what they don’t like, you must take your own medicine and leave. Otherwise, you put another nail in your coffin.
The OF crowd isn’t the problem; the people who object (largely those in the MGTOW and Incel crowds) are. If you want to “solve the problem” by kicking people off your site, it’s the entitled, racist, homophobic, transphobic bigoted and bullying wank stains who engage in hate speech and abusive behaviour who should go, not the people trying to earn a little extra money from a side hustle (or, maybe, only job they have after COVID-19 retrenchment). Don’t be any more of a dick than you’ve already shown yourself to be, intentionally or otherwise.
There are bigger, systemic and social problems to deal with on Fartloaf. Sex workers and open political discussions are not among them. Alt-Wrong ultra nationalists, fascists, Neo-Nazis and racists of other descriptions are.

Part 2 (2021/01/23)
One of the saddest things I’ve seen online is a person flounder around, foot in mouth, pull it out and ask for clarification, get it and ignore or delete it because it doesn’t fit their narrative or it raises painful emotions (essentially, challenge their fragility and privilege) which they then deflect or minimise. Yet, this is exactly what you do every time something related to Feminism, racism or bigotry of any kind comes up — the right(s) of the women and BIPOC on your site to feel safe and respected, to not have their inboxes treated like cum dumpsters or their bodies objectified by people looking for fetish dispensers. Every time a coconut. Every. Damn. Time! Shame on you and your team, Baku!
Seriously, if men on the site who could have gone down the Incel path (me and a few others) can reform and become Feminists, you can damn well read an article or twenty, just as we have. Hell, I’d offer you a list of resources I put together, but I suspect you’d delete it instead of read it, just as you probably will this writing.
PS: Just because we’re familiar with your BS and know what to expect doesn’t mean we condone it, either. Seriously, do better!
Part 3 (2021/08/17)
“How is a Black person showing hate towards a white person not racism?”
— John Baku, paraphrased
It makes me sad (but not at all surprised) that I’m writing yet another open letter to you.
Stop the deflecting and minimising bullshit, John! It’s neither cute nor funny.
I really wish that you and your team would employ more people (particularly BIPOC) to be Carebears, read some literature and clean up the site (even just a little) instead of censoring/silencing the Leftist vigilantes who step in to do just that, filling the gap you’ve left to the best of their ability/efforts, just so that you can go back to sitting on your thumbs and ogling twenty-somethings’ tits and twats. Pull your blasted thumbs out, you lazy asshats, pick up your banhammers and get your hands dirty spilling the blood of bigots!
Don’t you dare delete this from Fratlife, either, you fence-sitting yellow-bellied Centrist coward! (Even if you do, I’ve got a copy of it that I have very happily put on numerous blogs.)
I realise that that for which I’m asking is probably not going to happen unless the majority of people in various minorities on your site — who’re not cishet, white or men — stage a mass boycott, remove all their photos and leave the site. Anything short of that, while the thirsty dudebros pour in to pay their $5 and fill their spank banks, doesn’t seem to scare the team enough to get them scrambling to do anything whatsoever for the better. it’s abundantly clear that, despite what you say and write, the site is just about money to you. However, I’m sure all the pick-me’s will rush to fill the void.
Bad Baku; no boobs for you!
Seriously, Fet, do better! Even if you do, I’m still leaving, because I’ve had enough of the bullshit and any changes you make (if you do) will come too late, at least a decade too late. (The Anti-Feminist League has been around for at least eleven years, if not longer. You should have nuked that group — and its members, many of whom are also in other equally repugnant groups — long ago, just as you did the Garbage Apes group of yesteryear.)
WTF is wrong with you people? You make me sick!
