Aella: Libertarian Sex Worker Turned Data Scientist

Meet Aella, the daughter of evangelical Christians from Idaho who were so poor they couldn't always put food on the table.

A former factory worker who never graduated college, she became one of the most successful performers on the adult subscription site OnlyFans, sometimes taking home over $100,000 a month on the platform. She still does one-on-one appointments but only with clients who can afford to pay her current rate of $3,000 an hour.

These days, Aella is known for her forays into data science, oddball social media polls, sexy and silly personal moments on Twitter, and using her giant platform to spread hot libertarian takes, such as declaring, "I like capitalism."

"I am not okay with you making laws that prevent me from doing what I feel is good for me," Aella tells Reason. An outspoken defender of sex worker rights, she compares her current life to what it was like at the age of 19, when she would wake up at 4:30 a.m. to go do repetitive tasks on an assembly line in a windowless factory, often putting in over 50 hours a week.

"Why do people talk about survival sex work but not like…survival factory work or survival burger flipping?" she wonders. Yes, there's exploitation in sex work, but "decriminalizing sex work would let workers actually go get police help if they needed it."

Even before she got rich and famous, back when she was "scraping change off the ground to eat," Aella says she still "had libertarian-leaning economic views."

Reason's Liz Wolfe met up with Aella at her home in Austin, Texas, for a wide-ranging conversation about everything from how sex work made her a better data scientist to why many successful practitioners in her industry are selling not only sex but also the personal connections that so many of us are missing in our lives.

Is this different from the video?

[RabbiHarveyWeinstein]

>Libertarian sex worker
Surely this will appeal to the Goyim. Support the Libertarian Party and let your shiksa daughter sell nude videos on OnlyFans. Imagine how many fathers take pride in their daughter's ability to gape her own asshole!

[BestUsedCarSales]

Goat.se will outlive us all. He has made more of mark on our world than most Presidents.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

So medium warm!

[mad.casual]

It's nice to have a reminder how much more I would prefer Aella to write for Reason than half the writers. Even if she just gives the impression that she would prefer to describe herself as an escort who uses analytics, she would at least be a person who gives the impression of describing herself as an escort who does analytics.

Rereading:

Even before she got rich and famous, back when she was "scraping change off the ground to eat," Aella says she still "had libertarian-leaning economic views."

I get the picture of Bane lecturing Batman, "Ah you think darkness libertarianism is your ally? You merely adopted the dark libertarianism. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light feminism until I was already a (wo)man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!"

"Theatricality and deception. Powerful agents to the uninitiated. But we are initiated, aren't we Bruce Liz? Members of the League of Shadows Libertarian Feminists."

[JesseAz]

Reason is becoming a HS newspaper version of libertarianism.

[Mother's Lament]

Teen Reason is more like a lefty Tiger Beat than a high school newspaper.

[JesseAz]

Good point.

[Hank Ferrous]

Well said. The infatuation with pop culture, emotion and shitty music seal the comparison.

[But SkyNet is a Private Company]

Again?

[The Encogitationer]

I was about to say that too. Is someone at Reason coding on drugs?

[Mother's Lament]

If they post this ad for her OnlyFans five more times Gillespie gets a free handy.

[R Mac]

Seriously? I would have guessed this much coverage would get him some anal.

[Nemo Aequalis]

Can someone explain what a "Data Scientist" is?

[Gaear Grimsrud]

The Top Men and Women of data. Don't question the science. If the data gets out hand it could take two weeks to level the curve. Or two years. Don't question the data scientists. That's like an attack on science itself.

[Mother's Lament]

Most ordinary scientists rely on haruspicy, oracle bones and astrological charts, but a data scientist uses "data".

[SQRLSY One]

And Mammary-Necrophilia-Fuhrer relies (AND lies!) on Her Fashionable Christian Theology, designer purses, hairstyles, and whorestyles, thinking that these things will Perfectly Protect Her from the consequences of Her Own Perfected Evil!

[R Mac]

Took a beating today, huh sarc?

[SQRLSY One]

I'm not suffering from the consequences of My Own Perfected Evil! (Nor do I rely on my fashionable whorestyles, either.)

And you?

[Mother's Lament]

"I'm not suffering from the consequences of My Own Perfected Evil!"

Every post you ever made shows otherwise.

[SQRLSY One]

Judgmental self-righteous asshole describes you to a "T"!

You have "human dysphoria"... You're an evil inhumane being stuck in a human body! Try to LOVE being a humane human, for once!

[Mother's Lament]

And you're a retarded neo-Nazi pedophile apologist who hides his meds. You're pretty much one of the evilest pieces of shit here, so it's really ironic that you accusing me of that.

[SQRLSY One]

Mammary-Necrophilia-Fuhrer has ZERO balance… She would PUNISH- PUNISH- PUNISH the ones who fart too loudly, the same as the ones who fire-bomb our houses in the middle of the night!

All agonist-muscle, and no antagonist-muscle, You are, Oh Perfect Imbalanced One… All gas pedal, and no brake! And one of these days, You will have earned Your Perfect Self a Perfect Collision of Agony!

[R Mac]

So turns out the shit eater is also obsessed with smelling his own farts. Damn, can you imagine what his room smells like?

[BestUsedCarSales]

Tends to mean very large dataset analysis. Sort of an applied statistician.

[Hank Ferrous]

It's not someone who doesn't have at least a damned BS, that much is a given. I am no credentialist, but the left-leaning crowd's habit of awarding titles to those who have not earned them is more than a bit stupid.

[The New Number Two]

[See identical previous article for comment.]

Geez, Gillespie. You're getting as bad as ENB.

[Longtobefree]

"I am not okay with you making laws that prevent me from doing what I feel is good for me."

Shut up and wear the mask!

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Seriously I have a fetish for hot chicks in N-95s.

[Corporatist Remover]

Not the least bit shocked that Reason keeps promoting this hoe. She thinks that computer-generated child pornography is a good idea. And before you tell me that it is a good idea, just think for two seconds. The more you normalize that sort of fetish, the more people are going to think it's an acceptable expression of human sexuality. Soon, you'll have creeps lobbying for "MAP" rights and "MAP" acceptance. Former Reason contributor and Prostasia employee of the month Noah Berlatsky is on board with that idea. There'll be "MAP" pride parades. And libertarians will defend those, too. As long as kids aren't being harmed, what's the big deal? And where'll that lead? Eventually, they'll be demanding the abolition of age of consent laws.

See, this is the issue with libertarians. They advocate for individual liberty for really freakish minority groups (not talking about racial or religious minorities). The next thing you know, the 0.0001% of the population which identifies as trans is running the asylum, and they'll be making us share our pronouns and cheer on double mastectomies for teenage girls. But libertarians will insist that a failure to accommodate a tiny minority of freaks is a greater violation of individual liberty than the future disenfranchisement of entire majorities.

[Corporatist Remover]

Reason does the same thing with corporations. Disney's right to lobby in favor of state-mandated homosexuality (and public funding of pro-troon propaganda in schools) and maintain its state-granted subsidies is more important than the right of a population to not be tormented by narcissistic trannies. The First Amendment was written to ensure that corporations could have their cake (the right to advocate for tranny-led totalitarianism) and eat it (the right to receive taxpayer money), too!

[In Canis Credimus]

1. Corp are people now, right? They can hold opinions and stances on issues
2. your hate is shining through. I think the narcicissitic trannies are tired of narcissistic heteros telling them what to do and that they are bad people
3. Disney should never have had a special status in Florida. Corps shouldn't have government powers like policing. That's a really bad mix.

[Corporatist Remover]

Imagine simping for trannies.

[Nelson]

If you are making a slippery slope argument, your argument sucks. Why not just say, "There is no reasonable argument against this thing I don't like, so I'm going to make up a bunch of completely unlikely scenarios and pretend that's what is being advocated for.".

[Corporatist Remover]

Don't you have a Drag Queen Story Hour to attend, you nonce?

[IceTrey]

"they'll be making us"
How? Under libertarianism the initiatory use of force is prohibited.

[In Canis Credimus]

That is not true at all. Lol. nice slicing and dicing of taking one small phrase from libertarian doctrine and extrapolating it into infinity.

[Corporatist Remover]

Stop living in Ancapistan.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

See, this is the issue with libertarians. They advocate for individual liberty for really freakish minority groups (not talking about racial or religious minorities).

Oh I see. I suppose we can count you to decide which group is a "really freakish minority group" that doesn't deserve liberty, and which group is an acceptable racial or religious minority group which does deserve liberty.

Let's just ignore the fact that at a certain time and place in history, Christians were considered a "really freakish minority group". So were Protestants. So were Jews. So were Blacks. So were the Chinese.

And if you don't think transgender individuals deserve liberty, then what do you think they deserve, exactly?

[mad.casual]

Whether Corporatist Remover is arbiter or not, the reason the term 'tyranny of the majority' was invented was because regular tyranny implies a minority with out sized or oppressive political power. Your ad hocs and false dichotomies notwithstanding.

[Corporatist Remover]

God forbid that we live in a society where Disney's army of trannies isn't forcing pronouns on people.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm not going to look up MAP (Thus proving, I'm a man.) But seriously, feels like that's gonna put me on a list.

[Mother's Lament]

"Minor Attracted Person". It's a fancy, alphabet-complex way of saying they're a kiddy diddler.
