Robot Devil: I got myself involved this afternoon in the Macy/Emma C debate more because of the "most of our punters are weirdos who would not say/complain to us to our faces". Posturing and willful ignorance are two of my pet hates and they managed to push both buttons whilst I was pissed off in the middle of a 3 hour finance review.
We did indeed relapse to "keyboard warriors" and "you don't know us", to which I politely pointed so was she and she didn't know us either. Then I got an "I don't have time to argue with you" and a block. That went about as well as the finance review
Now this broader little revolt and work to rule that seems to be breaking out on cam (god the temptation to tweet to Sabrina "how the fuck can we tell if your in strike?" was almost overwhelming
).
1) This revenge porn line which appears to have become fact based on one poster suggesting it was akin to revenge porn. Revenge porn needs to include intent to cause distress - that could not be proven because you couldn't easily prove a relationship between punter and babeshow girl. Now you might argue that the fella who filmed and possibly leaked that video of him fucking a S66 girl could be subject to revenge porn law, but by and large a guy sharing on a tube site is doing it for reasons other than revenge. As others have noted its just basic theft.
2) When the porn industry was assailed by piracy it adapted and created Tube sites it could control (X-v-ideos is owned by Legalporno, P-rnhub by Mindgeek) so that they control and take advertising revenue. They couldn't stop it (nor could mainstream films, games producers, music producers, etc) so they devised a plan to work with it. Things like Volafile and Torrents are still outside of their control so margins are down. As many of the porn performers will tell you, there isn't the money in porn their once was, so I suspect the painful reality may happen to our babeshow girls
3) This emotive invasion of privacy argument doesn't really hold much water. If a job causes that that much distress stop doing it. Emotional distress would be hard to prove when the only bar for a complete stranger seeing your foof is their credit limit.
4) Who cares (and I mean this in a broader sense not a fuck them all sense)? Police won't get involved (frankly considering problems elsewhere I'd be annoyed if they did), there is no big pot of money to chase (these are individuals not corporations) for the lawyers to chase, you've got to prove who made the recording not just who watched it, and if they want to try a private case the costs of £3 per minute for a babeshow girl would look cheap next to that of a Barrister
.
5) Is it wrong to want to shoot the next white knight who claims the girls are so generous with what they give us? I don't nip into Tescos for a loaf of bread and after paying for it, thank them for their generosity and the privilege of shopping with them. In fact, as per most industries, they thank us, the paying customer.
5) The TV channels are clearly dying, within a couple of years the girls on the channels will have to swim with sharks of MFC and Chatterbate. That is the new reality and I look forward to our little angels adjusting to it
I feel better now
