He actually says to the jury as he approaches the bench, “how could you do that? how could you do that?”
Rage. Blinding rage. How could THEY do that? I hope this fuckin’ guy really enjoys his possible 263 years.

Seeing people who have callously committed horrific acts on other people start to cry when forced to take (some) responsibility for their conduct always makes me hate them even more.

To this day the

Maybe don’t post a screenshot of what could be someone's trauma? Please? For the love of god...

Jesus Christ. (Assuming) a girl has already been raped, and you have to go and post video footage of the unbelievably traumatic assault online for the entire world to view? How fucking horrible of a human being do you have to be to force a rape victim to deal with the horror of not just being raped, but then having…

I’m sorry you went through that; it sounds really awful. Thanks for sharing and I’m glad that some light being shined on this company may have lessened your burden a little.

It took a long time and a whole lot of abuse for it to stop being secret. And the only reason it isn’t still secret is that one incredibly brave woman came forward on Twitter, despite many of the assaults happening in front of kink.com staff.

I hope this conversation gets louder and continues. Kink has some promise, but they’ve always had a dark underbelly. I worked with them more than ten years ago and had a horrible, horrible experience with one of their top performers at the time. Probably one of the worst in porn, which is saying something, believe me.…

Plenty of women were into watching it, too. Heard the term ‘Deenagers’? No... I refuse to believe that ALL porn is rape and destroys women - this leads to the uncomfortable notion that we (women) are too stupid to make informed decisions about our sexuality and freedom of choice as regards sex and sex work. Yes, there…

Yup. I always told people—look, if the performers didn’t agree to those interviews, they wouldn’t have been contracted or paid. They had no choice but to be perky and smiles on camera. If every Wal-Mart purchase you made came with a smiling 60-second interview video of your cashier telling you how much they loved…

A porn shoot at kink that has that many extras with a female performer is likely either a public disgrace or upper floor shoot. Only the performers who have been tested are allowed to engage sexually with the performers. I haven’t been to EVERY public disgrace and upper floor shoot but I’ve been to quite a few and…

That picture of him gets more and more creepy each time it’s used.

This was my initial view of the porn industry until basically PR campaigns and Internet intellectuals convinced me that it was just a job people do. Then it turned out that independent sex positive feminist Sasha Grey was actually physically and emotionally abused by her bf/promoter and forced to do a bunch of things…

Ironically, he looks harmless with his shorter than average height and his slight build. Especially compared to his much taller, overly built, super-masculine co-workers. He has that boy next door that wouldn’t hurt a fly look down cold. And the fact that despite look harmless, he is rough in bed? For many women, that…

A few months ago, there was a really strong and strange (to me) critique of the movie Hot Girls Wanted for shining a light on an aspect of the porn industry that is very woman un-friendly. The article read to me like it was accusing the documentary producers of taking a hardline, anti-porn stand, which I don’t think…

I so want somebody to talk about the need of more gun control that I do not care.

I wonder that too. I’ve always enjoyed Kink’s productions and as a woman felt they did a lot to safeguard their performers and staff. Now I’m so disappointed in them.

Absolutely. The GF also then followed it up with a line about how “I like [thing X] but I know I’m being indoctrinated to like it and that’s fine, I want to get off. But also I want to live in a world where I was never told that was something that was hot.”

And she had a great line of “I don’t judge individuals but let’s say I am suspicious of how many dudes have fantasies that align perfectly with existing patriarchal norms.”
