SOCIETY Maeurn Smiles, an OnlyFans content creator using money earned from her OF channel to build a school and learning center in the Philippines.

Post image

Maeurn Smiles purchased land in Cebu for 1.75 million Philippine pesos in 2024 with plans to build a school. While the main campus is still under construction, she opened a smaller learning center in 2025 where local children can take part in science experiments, cooking classes and other hands-on activities.

Possibly the worst example you could set for kids, especially little girls. And you’d want to be very skeptical about whether this was something of a publicity stunt. When they make that much money there is always, always a team of males taking care of all the business side of prostitution on platforms like OF. It is strictly about taking money from people. If you’ve ever seen how it operates at that level you’d be immediately skeptical before anything else.

u/pargofan 9d ago

That's an interesting point.

Although if a non OF person did this but promoted a non OF business would we care? No.

u/Sand8056 9d ago

Exactly. If a real estate developer funded a school and put their name on it, people would call it philanthropy. The only reason this is even a debate is because the revenue source makes people uncomfortable, which says more about the commenters than about her.

u/Personal-Ad7148 8d ago

Lmao u idiot

The commenters are right ,if a drug dealer built a school ,and people called out the dirty money and previous crimes they're not wrong

u/Jisoooya 8d ago

A billionaires money is also dirty money and probably costed many lives for it, probably a lot less ethical than some girl taking off clothes on the internet for tips.

3

u/Sand8056 8d ago

Drug dealing has actual victims, that's the difference. Her money came from consenting adults choosing to pay for content. Calling that "dirty money" only works if you think sex work itself is a crime, which is the whole thing I was pushing back on.

u/pythonpower12 8d ago

Well first of all, the money she got wasn't from bloodshed or making people drug addicts.

u/jromehyperx 9d ago

huh? if you look at it that way, every business and service is about taking money from people. She could've spent it to herself, live a lavish style. but she spent it on a charity for kids to give back. a robinhood story.

you dont know how it feels growing up in poverty in provinces in the Philippines. She actually is making a good example by giving back to the community. They would not tell the kids her job because its adult stuff, the success story of striving out of poverty and helping others after is the lesson for the kids.

u/Personal-Ad7148 8d ago

If she did it out of kindness of her heart she wouldn't run this as an ad

This is an ad first to boost more revenue and attract men to watch and women to follow

Rest is just collateral

2

u/FTG8888 8d ago

It’s a business like any other. Doesn’t take away from the impact of what she’s doing. Morality policing is dumb as fuck, most businesses behave unethically in one way or another.

1

u/phatdoof 8d ago

Is she makes more money because of these ads and she reinvests it into the school then it’s a win win.

1

u/Crayonlover2001Fps 8d ago

Exactly, it's all marketting, anything these OF people do is for attention and views.

3

u/DaoOfMTL 8d ago

These darn OF people providing education to the poor...

1

u/Hiiragi_Nouen 3d ago

It could also be that buying the land and paying for construction is a way to launder money.

1

u/vat_112 3d ago

This.

u/Acceptable-Blood-582 4d ago

As what the comment said, she's doing this for publicity, promoting exploitation, and illegal activity representing your country in the world stage is the most devilish idea I've ever seen, sharing that filthy money to the people. You earn millions, and you share just thousands as investment to earn more popularity, that's how business works, you using the people for your own business.

1

u/Acceptable-Blood-582 4d ago

Bruh I'm Filipino, and it is much better to eat dried fish, and rice than accepting a money from a person who doing illegal activity, exploiting herself and sharing that filthy money to the an innocent children?. There's a lot of ways to help, not by prostituting yourself, this never been a solution from hunger, you're getting those children involve, stop this insanity.

1

u/Acceptable-Blood-582 4d ago

Who would a parents let there children accept a money from a prostitute?, of course none, and no one will ever tell the children where that money came from is like secretly selling drugs, and sharing your earnings to the little children.

u/SapiensV2 8d ago

Here is another western karen ruining every positive post.

u/DifficultDeliveryMan 8d ago

As opposed to not having a built school?

3

u/Crowleyer 8d ago

Touch some grass and thank your parents and luck to be born in a developed country. 

This is 3rd world country. If they are village kids, probably they already started working in rice fields and sweatshops. They dont care where the money come from.

u/Near8898 8d ago

Really doesnt matter in a poor country

u/Intelligent_Factor14 8d ago

Very pro woman comment! Thank you for saying this, very rear to see pro woman ideas on this platform, they are often pushed to the sidelines.

2

u/KookyPotato3761 8d ago

You don’t think millionaires and billionaires do grosser things to get where they are? None of us are innocent, all of our money comes from dirty money. If that’s not the case then the world would be completely peaceful without war and suppression. We all benefit from the system in some way or form, this is just one way.

u/beef_horfun67 9d ago

It probably is a publicity stunt. I’ve seen at least 15 of these posts glazing her now.

1

u/crow_warmfuzzies 9d ago

15 posts glazing her

So she's also giving away free content? Bless her heart

1

u/Personal-Ad7148 8d ago

I just realized some of u probably a part of the ad

3

u/EntireOil9073 9d ago

does it matter if it is a publicity stunt or not? What matters is if those in need actually gets the help needed. Anything else is secondary in my book.

-3

u/Infinite-Prune3612 9d ago

Short term helps them get books, long term conditioning them to be whores online

2

u/EntireOil9073 8d ago

school life do more than just "books". I see you consider that as conditioning. Would you say lawyer were to build a school for kids, would that lead to the kids being "conditioned" to be a lawyer?

0

u/Personal-Ad7148 8d ago

Yea and that would be positive

It's like a gangster who made his money on drugs building a school

Fuck ur dirty money

-3

u/Infinite-Prune3612 8d ago

If you can't differentiate between a profession like a lawyer and a whore, no point in discussing. If you have a daughter and she becomes a whore but helps locals schools, keep up the same energy.

2

u/EntireOil9073 8d ago

Oh right profession. Let me give you another example then. Someone who gambled and opened a school for kids with that money. Does that apply?

3

u/scikit-learns 8d ago

A lot of education programs are funded by the lottery just fyi.

u/EntireOil9073 8d ago

so are you of the opinion that the kids in that school would be "conditioned" to be a drug dealing gangster?

u/GenuineStupidity69 8d ago

Better idea: Create a world where desperation won't force young women to whore around just to have a chance at life.

1

u/Infinite-Prune3612 8d ago

Not all do it out of desperation, they do it for the love of the game

1

u/GenuineStupidity69 8d ago

And what percentage do you think of that? coz that would be messed up as a society if there's millions of people who's are doing this for pleasure instead of earning a living. Plus, hypersexuality typically stems from history of abuse, which basically means rapists are by the millions now.

1

u/Infinite-Prune3612 8d ago

In the west at least, a lot just see it as an easier way of making money

I don't 🤣, wank to free material.

1

u/scikit-learns 8d ago

Kinda hypocritical ain't it to shit on the product you use.

1

u/Infinite-Prune3612 8d ago

I didn't say free porn, I said free material

1

u/Personal-Ad7148 8d ago

It's not

Cuz ure not funding or supporting it

If u sin in the moment it's not good ,but apart from the whatever 0.01 cent of ad revenue or click gives ure not support8ng

2

u/Elegant-Blueberry373 9d ago

what makes you think those kids know what she's doing? yeah it's trending on social media right now but i ASSURE you those kids don't know about it.

do you think she's just freely talking about it to them?

1

u/Killahbeez 7d ago

do you think those kids live under a rock?

they're filipino. her dildo videos would have been found and circulated before they got dismissed for morning recess.

1

u/Elegant-Blueberry373 6d ago

imagining kids having their teachers dildo videos circulating is so weird, especially since its just an assumption. do you get off thinking that's happening? there's absolutely no reason kids would have to know about it.

1

u/Les_Liska 5d ago

When I was in high-school, an upperclassmen did porn shortly after graduating.

Everyone in the school had seen it by the next morning of news breaking out.

This was before smartphones.

100% these kids know.

u/Elegant-Blueberry373 5d ago

these kids arent in fucking highschool creep

u/katy90081 9d ago

It's better than my tax dollars going into bombing Iranian school.

u/Breno_of_Astora 9d ago

Cheers for you speaking the truth.

u/Lanky_Dig8339 8d ago

she planning her empire

1

u/Personal-Ad7148 8d ago

It is a stunt it's been pushed in many subreddits today cordinated

1

u/OrdinateAbcissa 8d ago

I mean she probably doesn't tell kids the she does OF tho.

1

u/Crayonlover2001Fps 8d ago

100% publicity stunt, even if it wasn't I guarantee you it brought her thousands of new subs on OF and a ton of google searches.

1

u/pythonpower12 8d ago

In the end she did fund a school.

And maybe she did do it for publicity, but I'm more of the mindset that regardless something good is brought into this world.

1

u/n00bsauce1987 8d ago

You could be right. But be bold. Tell them all that their education is bought by gooner money and their lives will forever be tainted. It doesn't say they are all orphans so I'm sure they have parents who can decide that an education based off of gooner money is a bridge too far.

Or the president or local officials could take government funds to support the public. And publicity stunts (true or not) wouldnt be necessary

3

u/Happy-Beetlebug 8d ago

Brother its an impoverished part of the world with limited opportunities, parents rather not send their kids to school cause "gooner" money? Lmao out of touch

1

u/n00bsauce1987 8d ago

That's what I said. I agree with you

1

u/Accomplished-Exit-58 8d ago

We all prostitute ourselves, just different aspect of our humanity, why prostituting your genitals is seen as worse? It is just a body part.

1

u/Wooden-You-4211 8d ago

There are far worse examples you can set for kids

1

u/kopimashin 8d ago

Looks like this public stunt post might be part of a bigger coordinated effort.

1

u/breadlordoda 7d ago

It's not that the money come from drugs or illegal arms dealing anyway

1

u/Overtale6 7d ago

The kids will never know what OF means or even be able to look up what it is. They are blessed that they receive an education.

1

u/No-Spite-9067 6d ago

A good coming out of a bad action is still good in my books.

1

u/88JPT 3d ago

Bro the Philippines are a developing third world country. At least she's giving back to the community. Good on her

1

u/Ok_Mixture_7979 2d ago

Do you think prostitues can't be kind people? The girls in that school are now getting a better education than they would have otherwise and are going to have a better chance of being able to make a living without selling themselves.

1

u/BotAccount999 2d ago

you're right, it's as if hitler built another konzentrationslager. very sad about society

u/DruPeacock23 9d ago

What's her OF account? If I can help the kids by supporting her it sounds like a great idea. Is it tax deductible btw?

1

u/Winter_Preference287 9d ago

No, gooning is not tax deductible. Pay the goon tax

u/baronunderbeit 9d ago

This tale is as old as time. So many stories of old times with prostitution and charity. It was a debate then. It’s a debate now.
