OnlyFans model vows to end incels with deranged plot after watching Netflix’s Adolescence

After watching Netflix’s Adolescence, OnlyFans model Cami Strella has vowed to put an end to online incel communities in the most deranged way possible. I’m not doubting her media literacy, but I don’t think she watched the show hard enough.

Back in March, Philip Barantini’s Adolescence became the most watched TV show in the country, not only dominating here in the UK, but also ranking high across the world. Starring Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Faye Marsay, Erin Doherty, and the incredibly talented Owen Cooper, Adolescence unpacked the growing danger of incel communities and the part social media plays in the corruption of young men.

The lesson was heard far and wide, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer issuing statements on Adolescence and schools creating lesson plans around the rise of misogyny. Though Adolescence also caught the eye of OnlyFans models, I think they walked away with the wrong message.

In a new interview, OnlyFans model Cami Strella explained how she felt compelled to do something about the rise of incels after watching Adolescence like the rest of the world. Was she starting a nonprofit? Nah. Was she going into schools to talk to young men? Of course not. In a tale as old as OnlyFans itself, which is actually only nine years, Cami is seeking to end incels the only way she knows how to, by sleeping with them.

“I consider this a form of public service,” she told Jam Press. “I want to help those who have never had sex before avoid going down a bad path.”

She said they will all be 18 and over, but she believes part of the incel culture stems from a “desperate need for connection.” Cami is hoping to fill that void.

She continued: “People have a desperate need for connection. But we live in a world that offers instant gratification through things like dating apps, without providing a deeper bond. I want to show them what real connection can look like – even when it’s with a sex worker. In my opinion, that kind of connection can feel validating and, when it’s done right, it can actually be therapeutic.

Such a burden

“I definitely believe that engaging with a sex worker is a much healthier thing to do than going on an incel forum. They [incles] are following people that they think are thought-leaders but those men don’t know anything about masculinity. If I can give someone a safe, judgement-free space to explore, I’d love to do that.”

Despite seemingly well intentioned, Cami’s desire to sleep with lonely men to stop them becoming incels is ridden with a number of issues. Number one, these men do not speak well of sex workers or women in the OnlyFans industry, so she is putting herself in a dangerous position. Number two, sex work IS real work, but let’s not pretend that sleeping with an OnlyFans girly is the epitome of what a healthy physical connection looks like.

The third and final hole in her plot, and arguably the most important, is the fact that sleeping with them is essentially saying that women will sleep with them to stop violent misogyny. What they say, do, and perpetuate is abhorrent, with or without getting sex.
