Alpha Kings
We are invited into the ‘Findom’ (online financial domination) of several teenage boys living in Texas. Eschewing education and careers, these young men make a living off of tips paid by their ‘subs’ who they verbally abuse and berate. Heteronormativity and public opinion mean nothing when cash is king and only alpha prevails.
