Overview
- Gubernatorial candidate James Fishback says he would impose a 50% state tax on income earned by OnlyFans creators in Florida, calling it a moral "sin tax."
- He unveiled the idea in an interview with NXR Studios and amplified it on X, where he told creator Sophie Rain to "pay up or quit OnlyFans."
- Rain responded publicly on X with a mocking retort and, in comments to People, called the proposal unconstitutional and politically motivated.
- Fishback claims the levy would raise up to hundreds of millions of dollars for schools and deter adult-content creation, but he has released no draft legislation or enforcement details.
- Coverage describes Fishback as a far-right newcomer aligned with the groyper movement, with ties to Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson, and trailing Rep. Byron Donalds in the GOP primary.
