Bop House, an OnlyFans creator mansion, is dividing the internet

Dwelling collectively in a big six-bed, five-bath property in Miami, eight conventionally enticing girls sunbathe in bikinis, twerk in matching jammies, and dance by the pool in almost-sheer bodycon attire. This isn’t a new-age iteration of the Playboy Mansion; there are not any silk robe-clad males in sight, and in reality, no males in any respect. That is the Bop House, a content material creator mansion based by 20-year-old Sophie Rain and 22-year-old Aishah Sofey on the tail finish of 2024. 

When you could also be well-versed with Hype House, Sway Home, and the various dupe content material mansions which have sprung up because the pandemic, Bop — or “baddie on level” — is a part of a rising area of interest of houses just like the Creator House and Insurgent Home that solely host OnlyFans creators. Within the 4 months since Bop’s inception, Rain and Sofey have recruited Alina Rose, Camilla Araujo, Julia Filippo, Summer Iris, Ava Reyes, and Joy Mei to their mansion. (Mei has since left, in keeping with Bop Home’s Instagram bio.)

The uber-successful creators have over 40 million social media followers between them, whereas Bop Home has over 4 million mixed followers on TikTok and Instagram. That is not all. Rain claimed that the content material home earned over $10 million in December alone, and its prosperity has already impressed a rival OnlyFans-only mansion referred to as the Asian House. 

In case you are curious concerning the type of movies that Bop posts to garner clout at breakneck velocity, the peculiar, everydayness of their content material could shock you, at the very least at first look. Similar to numerous different way of life creators, the Bop Home girls make dance movies, play pranks on one another, and put on colour-coordinated outfits. It is a seemingly unending slumber get together, however the on-line response indicators the longstanding and seemingly ever-growing stigma towards intercourse work, even when made on girls’s personal phrases. 

Contained in the Bop Home

Regardless of the staid nature of their TikTok and Instagram content material, most Bop Home movies stack hundreds of thousands of views due to the subliminal suggestiveness and seduction. The creators do not simply dance to any tunes, however particularly those who encourage jumping and jiggling. On a day trip, you may see them at a PG-13 trampoline park in tank tops and bum shorts, because the digital camera pans on their butts and boobs. Even when the content material seems to be all enjoyable and video games, in actuality, every put up is meticulously deliberate with the Bop Home girls laborious at work. In any case, similar to different OnlyFans creators, their earnings will depend on their social media. 

The OnlyFans platform is notoriously bereft of a search operate and a discovery area like Discover or FYP. The one manner for a creator to get new subscribers is by selling their work on different types of media like X, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok, and Instagram. That is why UK-based OnlyFans creator Lauren Roland thinks the Bop Home is a genius concept. 

“I spend 90 % of my day advertising and marketing my content material on-line. However there’s solely so many instances I can put up pictures of myself dressed like a French maid or a nurse earlier than it turns into repetitive,” the 51-year-old shares. “Having creators to collaborate with helps your creativity and attain since you’re concentrating on wider audiences.” 

Creating content material amid censorship

Based on an OnlyFans spokesperson, as of April 2025, the platform has over 4 million registered creators. Whereas it has at all times been tough to face out amidst the gang, the continuing censorship of intercourse staff by large tech is barely stigmatising the trade additional, making it practically unattainable for creators to exist on mainstream platforms. The present stigmatisation of on-line intercourse work might be traced again to the 2018 U.S. payments FOSTA-SESTA (Preventing On-line Intercourse Trafficking Act and Cease Enabling Intercourse Trafficking Act). 

When Donald Trump signed the controversial payments in his first time period with the intent to curb human trafficking, the legislation made on-line publishers chargeable for any trafficking incidents that happen on their platforms. In an effort to safeguard their very own pursuits, the platforms then started policing content material excessively. Human moderators — or worse, automated techniques — had been skilled to aggressively weed out any nudity or reference to intercourse. These mentions are then flagged as probably soliciting, and related accounts are ultimately reported or suspended. Sex educators, workers, and creators turned collateral injury amidst this censorship, as the method leaves loads of room for error. 

Final 12 months, Roland misplaced 125,000 followers on TikTok when the app suspended her account out of the blue. Her Instagram is shadowbanned, that means it doesn’t seem within the search operate, on Discover pages, or beneath advisable accounts. 

“It is laborious for a machine to find out what’s or is not protected for work, it is tremendous dehumanising and demonstrates the ways in which folks within the erotic sphere are blocked from accessing respectable infrastructure,” says Megan Wallace, the creator behind intercourse and need zine PULP and the editorial director at GayTimes. 

For years, heaps of intercourse staff, educators, and LGBTQIA+ customers have protested Meta’s arbitrary (shadow)bans of their private {and professional} accounts regardless of complying with their no-nudity and no-solicitation guidelines.

That additionally explains why Bop Home content material is rigorously indicative, with completely no point out of OnlyFans. The hyperlink of their Instagram bio takes customers to an official web site the place you may additional faucet into the person creators’ OnlyFans accounts — two entire clicks away from Meta. 

The timing is painfully ironic: 2025 can also be the 12 months that Anora, a film about a sex worker, swept up six awards at the Oscars. In actuality, the intercourse employee group is being pushed underground. As an alternative of regulating and defending intercourse staff, the present legislation erases them from social media, imposing the concept that they don’t seem to be legitimate members of society, worthy of group, connection, or any visibility. 

The timing is painfully ironic: 2025 can also be the 12 months that ‘Anora,’ a movie a couple of intercourse employee, swept up six awards on the Oscars. In actuality, the intercourse employee group is being pushed underground.

In an try to avoid censorship but proceed to attract in eyes, OnlyFans creators are compelled to develop their very own area of interest on-line. For instance, Astrid Wett is thought for being a boxer, Bonnie Locket makes use of her love of supercars to lure followers, whereas London-based Venus Vitality is making extra lifestyle-first movies. “I lately began a TikTok collection of me struggling to open jars, it is a humorous manner for males to supply assist that’s nonetheless above board,” Vitality explains. 

Equally, the ladies of Bop Home are distinguishing themselves from different creators by means of group and by solely creating group content material. 

However this has elicited uproar and ethical panic of its personal. The Bop creators are between 19 and 24 years of age, and naysayers on the internet declare they’re too young for sex work. Not solely does this narrative strip the creators of any company, but it surely additionally fuels the assumption that intercourse work is inherently dangerous and have to be banned. 

“Years in the past, with Emma Watson and extra lately with Millie Bobby Brown, we now have seen barely-legal celebrities be overly sexualised towards their will,” shares Dr. Carolina Are, innovation fellow at Northumbria College’s Centre for Digital Residents, platform governance researcher, and content material creator. Again in 2014, Watson delivered a speech concerning the lack of gender equality in movies and revealed that the press sexualised her when she was solely 14 years outdated. 

Within the decade since, nonconsensual objectification has gained the backing of know-how like pornographic deepfakes (AI-generated movies) of Brown and different younger celebrities which can be simply accessible on the web. 

“Even musicians have written songs objectifying younger ladies; so it is extremely revealing that these grownup girls who’re consensually creating sexual content material are in some way an issue for folks,” Are provides. 

Mounting misconceptions about intercourse work

This angst in direction of Bop Home magnified in February when 17-year-old content material creator Piper Rockelle posted movies with the housemates. The internet was up in arms about an underage creator allegedly becoming a member of OnlyFans, however this by no means occurred. Rockelle visited the creators at Rain’s non-public residence (not Bop Home) and filmed mainstream TikTok trends. (Youngsters and oldsters who labored with Rockelle accused her mom, Tiffany Smith, of harassment and abuse in a 2022 lawsuit. Smith denied the allegations, and a settlement was reached.) 

However the furore led to Bop Home being labelled “the most disgusting content house” on a YouTube video with over 1,000,000 views, whereas they proceed to discipline daily hate on X and TikTok. The constant fear-mongering spreads the assumption that Bop Home’s viral presence on-line may lure in minors with PG-13 content material, ultimately funneling them onto OnlyFans earlier than they’re legally allowed. 

When Mashable reached out to OnlyFans for feedback, a spokesperson mentioned, “OnlyFans just isn’t affiliated with the Bop Home and doesn’t endorse any third get together or company.” In addition they linked us to the platform’s child-safety insurance policies. 

In accordance with the UK’s On-line Security Act and U.S. 2257 File-Protecting Laws, creators have to supply over nine proofs of identity earlier than they are often registered on OnlyFans. This contains their identify, electronic mail, postal tackle, date of delivery, legitimate authorities photograph ID, selfie with and with out mentioned ID, W-9, and social safety quantity. Relying on the nation, subscribers should additionally present a spread of private IDs, fee particulars, and undergo age verification checks earlier than viewing media on OnlyFans. 

Within the U.S., as an example, followers should share valid over-18 bank details and a passport or driver’s license with the intention to be cleared. To make sure minors aren’t accessing OnlyFans by means of an grownup’s account, the platform additionally hosts secondary selfie checks each 30 days. 

Though OnlyFans has roadblocks in place to stop minors from accessing grownup content material, the web at giant unfairly locations this duty on creators. 

“Mother and father and colleges ought to educate kids as a result of proper now, intercourse work and any associated content material is so closely censored that it restricts entry to vital conversations about sexual well being, wellbeing and consent whereas proliferating misogynistic content material and stigmatising intercourse,” Are says. 

At a time when one in five UK males aged 16 to 29 take a look at Andrew Tate favourably and consider feminism did extra hurt than good, protected conversations round intercourse are important. Equally, the lately launched Netflix thriller Adolescence —which explores the rise of the poisonous manosphere and its impression on younger boys — is resonating with audiences globally and making a case for the necessity for wholesome dialog round intercourse and gender. 

Then again, large tech sees an entire elimination of intercourse staff as the simple repair to trafficking and security. Roland explains why this solely makes issues worse: “Proper now OnlyFans creators are making content material from the security of their houses and on their very own phrases — the Bop Home girls have solidarity of their togetherness. However in the event you censor us on social media, we could also be compelled to [post videos] on platforms like Pornhub.” The creator provides that with the latter, intercourse staff have much less management over how a lot they’re paid and the way the content material is promoted, taking away their company. 

“Pornhub has collaborated intently with the mannequin group to create a fee construction that pretty compensates them for his or her work. You possibly can be taught extra about our tier system here, together with how we now have repeatedly applied mannequin suggestions into the system because it evolves,” Pornhub’s VP of brand name and group, Alexzandra Kekesi, mentioned in an emailed assertion to Mashable. “Pornhub is deeply invested within the success of the creators which can be part of our group.” 

But even from the attitude of kid security, some creators favor a platform like OnlyFans — the place viewers should soar by means of a number of hoops earlier than seeing grownup content material — over simply accessible porn web sites the place age verification and consent is a straightforward, faith-based “sure or no” reply. (Within the U.S., age-verification laws are in impact in a number of states, requiring ID or facial recognition to entry specific websites. Whereas they outwardly wish to curb minors from seeing porn, an early examine reveals that they don’t work, and free speech specialists Mashable have spoke to say there are privateness and safety considerations.)

“Mother and father and colleges ought to educate kids as a result of proper now, intercourse work and any associated content material is so closely censored that it restricts entry to vital conversations about sexual well being, wellbeing and consent.”

Like another occupation, working in a collective just like the Bop Home is healthier for the creators’ psychological and social welfare than filming alone. Are says, “I am a part of a analysis community the place we tackle varied features of content material creators’ lives, and one thing that stands out is how lonely their work might be.”

Are insists that “working with individuals who know the challenges of the enterprise could be a assist community.” As an example, in February, Rain revealed that her stalker broke into the mansion whereas she and the group had been away on the Tremendous Bowl; he even informed the cops that he was married to the creator. In a YouTube video, she sat down with Reyes and Araujo to speak about how terrifying the expertise was whereas emphasising how having the group’s assist helped her course of the trauma. 

Globally, intercourse staff have a 45 to 75 percent likelihood of experiencing violence on the job. Standard OnlyFans creators are presumably at a better threat of publicity to violence, as they’re public-facing. 

Vitality agrees, “OnlyFans might be an isolating profession, so I am envious of what these ladies have by working collectively.” Sadly, as per the legislation, Bop Home can be unlawful within the UK. Two intercourse staff can’t work collectively within the nation as it’s deemed “brothel-keeping,” making it more and more unsafe by forcing creators to work in silos. 

“However I’m attempting to entry the group the place I can,” Vitality says. “I’ve joined a couple of Telegram and Discord teams the place we ask one another questions and focus on concepts; I hope these do not get banned too.”
