"Alpha Kings": New Yorker documentary about OnlyFans twinks practicing "findom" (online financial domination)

How many of you sick cunts are into this kink? (and keep funneling money to hot, but straight & VERY homophobic, muscle-twink teens in suburban Houston that you have zero chance of meeting, let alone fucking) Btw the documentary itself is at the link, and while it has no full-on nudity, it shows the young studs in question flexing in their boxer briefs (yes, with VPL) and DOMINATING THE FUCK out of rando subs.

"A pale, shirtless boy in his late teens is sitting in a dim, bare room. His phone is propped up on a desk in front of him, beneath a rigged-up ring-light device. 'I want you all to fucking like the fuck out of my live. Sit here and spam it,' he says, leaning closer to the phone to peer at his own recorded image and the feed activity on the screen. 'And, while you’re spamming it, fucking pay me. I want you all to go broke tonight. . . . just tip me. Tip me a fucking twenty right now, O.K.?' A curly-haired boy in a light-blue T-shirt enters the room, sits down, and joins in, addressing the feed’s viewers. He name-checks a client who had apparently just sent in money, calling him 'a fucking example for all of you fucking betas.' The taunt then turns into a directive: 'You should all be doing what he is doing and serving us.'

These two boys are part of a group of friends—captured by Enrique Pedráza-Botero and Faye Tsakas in their short film 'Alpha Kings'—who make their living by practicing financial domination, known as findom, on the OnlyFans app. The two filmmakers, recent graduates of the M.F.A. in Documentary Film program at Stanford University, began working on 'Alpha Kings' more than a year ago, when they realized that they shared an interest in the sex-work-adjacent economy that has emerged online in recent years, and specifically in findom. In the niche kink, a submissive partner receives a sexual charge by giving money to a dominant. 'What was fascinating to us is how these kids felt, given the current economic climate, given the rapid shrinking of the middle class, that this was genuinely the best opportunity for them to achieve the trajectory of the American Dream that isn’t really possible for Gen Z in the way it used to be,' Tsakas told me, when I recently spoke with her and Pedráza-Botero over Zoom. 'We were also interested in the fact that it was a group of boys who all did this together, in a kind of social-bonding way.'

Tsakas and Pedráza-Botero found the group of guys on Twitter—a platform on which they can openly offer their services as financial dominants. 'Their profiles are very public. They’re not doing any of this in secrecy,' Tsakas told me. 'It was important for us that these were people who would be able to be vulnerable and talk to us about what they do,' Pedráza-Botero said. In the film, the boys, who live in a suburb of Houston, Texas, are seen interacting with clients online—sometimes shirtless and flexing, occasionally showing their feet, but often receiving money simply for appearing on camera and doling out the occasional morsel of verbal abuse.”

“In the niche kink, a submissive partner receives a sexual charge by giving money to a dominant.”

This is a niche kink? The financial exchange of sex work is part of its thrill and the basis of the oldest profession in human history.

At most, this is a mild humiliation fetish for self-loathing gay men.

by Anonymousreply 3October 25, 2023 9:55 PM

R2 These guys have distilled it down, though. They don't necessarily have to do anything sexual, just feed their subs' fetish by verbally treating them like shit.

by Anonymousreply 4October 25, 2023 9:57 PM

I don’t think you understand the true extent of the weirdness R2. All that’s happening is these scammers are basically just sitting there telling the viewers to send them money…which they do. There’s no sexual exchange whatsoever.

Whoever falls for this complete idiocy needs extensive therapy.

by Anonymousreply 5October 25, 2023 9:57 PM

Wait so they just sit there clothed and bark at people to give them money? Like the homeless?

by Anonymousreply 6October 25, 2023 9:59 PM

R5 Yes, it's manipulative by design. I'm sure that there are guys who are into this and are fully competent to make that choice, but I'm also sure that a lot of them of just being preyed upon.

Personally, I'd love to see this "alpha king" assholes put out of business.

by Anonymousreply 7October 25, 2023 10:00 PM

Yeah, it's crazy. In a way, these guys don't have to worry about the downside of this in the way that women do. They don't have to worry about stalking and retribution.

by Anonymousreply 8October 25, 2023 10:01 PM

You’d have to have quite a bit of damage to enjoy this fetish…. I throw a tantrum every time I subscribe to a disappointing OnlyFans account.

Findom, is that like pretending you’re Finnish?

Unless they have huge feet that they willingly shoe and huge cocks I’m not at all interested. I don’t send $ to some asshole who doesn’t get me off

by Anonymousreply 13October 25, 2023 11:54 PM

R2, you're stating the blindingly obvious. *I'm* stating that this is something that has rather rapidly evolved – as described in the documentary – as something that these same teens would've categorically rejected as "fucking gay shit" (direct quote from one btw) only a couple of years ago, but since now they've figured out how to get rich off of pseudo-porn without having to expose a single ass check or do anything truly "gay" (well, aside from telling dudes when they can & can't cum), they can rationalize the gay away. (Which is at least better than praying it away, as was formerly the norm.)

That said, it's The New Yorker, and the *point* of the documentary isn't titillating you cunts, but rather illustrating that Gen Z is more than willing to take on professions that are increasingly unconventional, as their avenues towards even a normal middle-class life dwindle, thanks to long-term macroeconomic issues like declining real wages and it no longer being possible in many cases for younger couples to purchase any form of "starter home," at least in areas with strong economies.

Same.

This has been around for a long time - and this isn't a gay thing. There are a lot of women who do this to men as well.

It's sick - and anyone doing this willingly needs therapy.

Very abusive - and unjustifiable if you have any sense of morals.

The only one whose cock I wanted was Nick's, the dark broccoli-haired guy. No interest in anyone else's shoes. Or their feet. Bleargh.

Oh, my stars!

Naturally these coddled NYU film student freaks are twisting this fetish into some socio-economic pretzel to make it not only understandable but truly the fault of society and by extension, US!

No, you freaks, it's just hot straight guys with hot bodies earning beer and pot money while play-acting and jacking off for the camera!

by Anonymousreply 18October 26, 2023 1:07 AM

Some of them mentioned "meets". It was not followed up. I believe some of the are already meeting for feet worship. It's not all virtual.

I think they were MFA students at Stanford. Not NYU.

R5, where's the scam? I mean yeah it's weird, but at the same time it's a legit transaction. I like R3's description actually.

by Anonymousreply 21October 26, 2023 1:57 AM

R21 It's exploitative, but not a scam. The "clients" are getting what they want - to be treated like shit by guys they find attractive.

by Anonymousreply 22October 26, 2023 2:23 AM

I assumed findom was like the aquatic version of furries. I imagined people having their arms turned into fins.

by Anonymousreply 23October 26, 2023 2:34 AM

I think it's hilarious and a clown show. I don't think these boys are making 250K a year each. And it's bewildering how grown men can be sexually excited being virtually dominated by a zit-faced teen with a very limited vocabulary. But that's sexuality. Something for everyone.

by Anonymousreply 24October 26, 2023 2:40 AM

How much of a cut does only fans take? Broccoli hair Nick seemed very gay to me.

Nice work if you can get it.

I had a disturbing thought

Children ask their parents for money sometimes in demanding ways.

Perhaps a lot of the customers are closeted dads who are aroused by the thought of being financially “humiliated “ by their “son”

by Anonymousreply 27October 26, 2023 3:57 AM

See a shrink you sick fuck. "Closeted dads who want to fuck their sons??" SELF HATING GAY GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH RAZOR BLADES. For crissakes.

They do now. You just gave me the treatment I'm going to pitch to Ryan Murphy for AHS.

That's not what's happening though.

This is more like straight guys asking themselves "how can we steal money from these stupid fags." Then rolling with it. The men who pay them are pathetic.

by Anonymousreply 32October 26, 2023 11:39 AM

R18 exactly, every fast food and retail place is hiring. They’re lazy cunts who will end up blowing all the cash they earn and have no work experience.

by Anonymousreply 33October 26, 2023 11:50 AM

Is it any worse than gambling, wasting money on pot, or binge drinking?

by Anonymousreply 34October 26, 2023 3:08 PM

R22, I totally agree. I was questioning R5's use of the word scammers. The clients are getting exactly what they want (and are paying for).

I feel like some of the fin dom guys try way too hard, but I'm not their target audience, clearly. I find it mildly interesting but clearly it's a major turn on. I wonder how prevalent this is among straight guys getting findom from a woman?

by Anonymousreply 35October 26, 2023 9:59 PM

I’ve seen evidence of this on Twitter and it’s contemptible. Masochism and kinks are fine, but express them proudly and openly. There are plenty of good-looking guys online who will dominate in real life or virtually, who don’t hate gay men.
