I think it's time for tan lines, landing strips, and teased hair to come back in style. If high-waisted jeans can do it, why not the sexy stuff?
I think you are reading too much into this. The term "support" is common across the web now, from Patreon to You Tube. I only see it as models adopting commonly used language. If it makes you cringe then you may just have to suck it up and live with it.I don't really understand the notion of some models to be "supported" by viewers which you can find in the PR of so many "support me, blabla". I mean as a consumer I buy products or services because I think they are good (for me). I don't go to a specific grocery store because I want to support the specific vendor. I just like their veggies and I can afford them. Support would only come into play when shops owner would be a friend of mine. But then their products still would have to be really good to find their way into my stomach. In my opinion that notion could establish a kind of hierarchy between the viewer and the model where the viewer looks down to the model. She needs my support, she wouldn't make it without me. That in turn can be the birthplace of abusive behavior. Of course in this case the viewer who is exploiting that hierarchy is still the only one to blame here.
I had this thought by enjoying a model and every time I tipped her she was like "ohmygaaawd thanks for your support!" which gave me a headache after some time thinking "No! Its not support, its just because I like what I see!" Also on her bio the word "support" came up a minimum of 10 times. Now she stopped modeling and started to design lingerie and on her site the whole PR is centered around support. "Support me buying this and that". Really strange and somehow not related to lingerie. Also really unprofessional. I mean, come on, women buy lingerie because it looks and feels good and is comfortable no? Or do you buy this stuff to support the designer?
edit: on the other hand, I tipped some models I know from this forum. That felt a bit like support, but I also really liked what I saw.
I don't think so. I just omit models building their PR around "support". Also in Youtube and patreon its very different, because there "support" doesn't mean buying a productIf it makes you cringe then you may just have to suck it up and live with it.
A model performs a show on screen and so does a YouTuber? What's the difference? What physical product are you buying from a model?I don't think so.

Also there are many patreons where you are, in fact, buying a product. I support the patreons of software developers, artists, and writers which gives me access to the software, art prints, and publications of the artists work. I agree with @misterical here which is that "support" is shorthand for "financial support" which just means giving money in exchange for the work that someone is doing whether you are receiving something in return or not. If it's a personal pet peeve of yours that's fine but you are incorrect in your understanding of the word, and the models are correct in their use of it.I don't think so.

Obviously "you do you" but I don't agree with your premise.I don't really understand the notion of some models to be "supported" by viewers which you can find in the PR of so many "support me, blabla". I mean as a consumer I buy products or services because I think they are good (for me). I don't go to a specific grocery store because I want to support the specific vendor.

I do not look down on any business owner to whom I give my patronage (support), why would I look down on a cam model to whom I give tokens?In my opinion that notion could establish a kind of hierarchy between the viewer and the model where the viewer looks down to the model. She needs my support, she wouldn't make it without me. That in turn can be the birthplace of abusive behavior.
Ok now this I can agree with, but for me that is more to do with the fact that repetitiveness in either the written or spoken word, especially in a "professional" setting, bugs me. (Yes, this from the guy who has a number of phrases/words he uses all the time )Also on her bio the word "support" came up a minimum of 10 times.

Tell me about it, I get stuck up on that a lot too. People do tend to get annoyed w me for it. I think online people, just tend to overuse the same words and phrases a lot, and it can get kind of repetitive, and boring at times.I dont always like the transformation some words are going through especially online. Maybe I got stuck in that picture too much.
It's summer here, and I was just working in my yard and heard the ice cream truck coming round the neighbourhood.
Not sure if it's common elsewhere in the world, but here (as well as various places I've lived in, including the UK), ice cream trucks play 'Greensleeves'.
Since childhood, I've found that song one of the most f'ng depressing and annoying tunes I've ever heard.
I always question why something so melancholy was chosen to accompany such a wonderful and happy summer product as ice cream????
Mister Softee had much better tunes in the US!

Not trying to pry but I'm curious what country are you in? Surprised ice cream vans anywhere OTHER than the UK uses it! It just reminds me of learning about the tudors in school
not answering for @rockin_rod but I'm in Australia and since my childhood (mid-late 60s) it's been Greensleeves (sp) . And always played through the worst distorted sound setup ever.
I'm in Australia but grew up in England - moved here about 25 years ago. That song's also used by ice cream trucks in NZ too. I spent time living in the US and pretty sure I heard it there too, although in some cities the trucks definitely did not play GS (yay!).Not trying to pry but I'm curious what country are you in?

Is it only small boob cammers having a hard time?
No. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went back to working full-time (outside the home) this week. Getting compliments in free chat is nice, but it ain't gonna pay the bills or allow me to ever move out of this shithole neighborhood. The next man who gives me a hard time (when I'm on cam again) for "hardly being on cam anymore" is gonna get an earful from me about how I should've been appreciated more when I was on cam several nights a week. I really don't wanna hear anyone's bitching over the fact that I'm not available 24/7 at their beck and call.
I'm happy for you with the new job! Looking forward to catching up and hearing about it when you're on cam sometime (hopefully soon)
I'm glad you were able to find something to fill in the void. I'm so sorry it sucked so bad you had to.No. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went back to working full-time (outside the home) this week.
