    It wouldn't really. You can't become gay vicariously.

    This doesn't even make any sense.

    In my book, no - of course not but in that scenario you are not in the workplace and therefore the decision would not come under equality legislation. There is an undefined line between acceptable and unacceptable discrimination. where is the cut off point? does a male stripper have to book a gig for a gay chap's surprise birthday party even if it would make him uncomfortable to shake is booty in front of a loads of cat calling men? does a b&b owner have to let a gay couple stay in their home even if they're uncomfortable with it?
    Without the instinct to be discriminatory and prejudiced the human species would have been wiped out before we learned how to make fire. it is an innate part of our evolutionary make up that is taboo and forbidden in modern society and I think we really struggle with dealing with it.

    If they guy is working in straight porn - he is subject to the same testing as all straight porn actors. That is the crux here. She refused to work with him based on here deep seeded fears and prejudices. End of.

    I'm out this garbage pile.

    if she felt safer ruling out men who do gay porn, that's her choice.

    Lol... Spraying some fine ass bull**** here.

    I'm sure you watch porn for the Shakespearean level acting and not the ****ing part too, then?


    You're making a gross assumption in assuming I even watch porn in the first place, and secondly - I don't support any form of exploitation, and I would support anyone who was speaking out against attempts to exploit them, regardless of their job description.

    You appear to think it should be acceptable to exploit people for any reason you can use to justify your own prejudices against them.

    Your penis has touched something that their penis has touched. Which essentially means you've touched their penis... with your penis.

    If that's not gay, then I don't know what is.

    Again, homophobia. We have now, thanks to somebody's gracious copying of a tweet, established in this thread that all actors in straight porn adhere to the same protocol in regards testing. This voids the original claim from the actress completely. Her reasoning was therefore entirely based on a prejudice.

    Thank you and bonne nuit.

    Its only gay if you enjoy the thought of it and then go out and have real gay sex.
    Unless you say no homo of course. Then its bro jobs all around. Nothing gay about helping a bro.

    So if a woman refuses to sleep with me because my penis touched something that once touched another penis then she's homophobic?

    I feel like this pick up line might not work.

    Woke PUA: Hey I just had sex with a woman who had sex with some other guy before me. Will you have sex with me?
    Woman: Hell no! Get away from me you creep!
    Woke PUA: So you're homophobic?

    Her prejudice was based solely on the fact he had previously engaged in homosexual behavior. That's pretty homophobic sounding to me.
    In this case and for a nice change the term "homophobic" may actually be somewhat accurate. A "fear" of.

    Fact: Penetrative sex between homosexual men as a group is statistically the most risky sexual behaviour as far as the transmission of the HIV virus goes. Fact: women during heterosexual penetrative sex are more vulnerable to infection than men are. Fact: a woman who choses to not sleep with men who have has penetrative sex with men is lowering her risk of contracting HIV. Ergo it makes perfect logical sense that a woman when presented with this choice chooses to turn down such a man.

    Would you take issue if she had turned down sexual intercourse with an intravenous drug user? Would you have accused her of being "phobic", or would you have regarded this as reasonable? Even though the risks are lower with that demographic.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The adult entertainment industry isn't particularly concerned with employment legislation and health and safety regulations, so that's exactly why it is so important that people draw attention to these issues and are supported rather than condemned for it, because only by highlighting the issues can legislation and regulation follow.

    If they were tested and cleared. It is reasonable to suggest prejudice. Yes. It's the job. Again she can refuse, but don't go mouthing off like a brat on twitter

    Of course this is horrific, but since it only happened over the course of a few days I would imagine that the poor girl was in a bad place to begin with and this tipped her over the edge. You don't go from complete wellness to suicidal in the space of days, even with vicious bullying.

    None of which excuses any of it.

    You'd be surprised how quickly a person can be driven to it. Especially if they've been publicly shamed or embarrassed. An eg would be the nurse who killed herself after she`unwittingly put through a radio prank call to Kate Middleton's hospital room in 2012.

    A mother, a wife and devout Christian (very relevant) shamed into ending her own life.

    Other egs would people who suffer sudden catastrophic financial loss, the crash of 1929 for instance led to many people ending their lives in a matter of hours. Some even threw themselves off the stock exchange.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I suppose from the tweet, the internet moral police decided it was because she was homophobic and loathe to work with someone who is gay rather than it being a valid health concern with logical reasoning behind it.
    Doesn't matter why she didn't want to have sex with someone. It's her absolute right to decide who she has sex with. I wouldn't hacecsex with men who sleep with men either, not about dat life, doesn't do anything for me. She is not compelled to sleep with anyone she doesn't want and she doesn't need to excuse herself either

    Why should someone actually put the risk to their health above anyone else's opinion? If there's any good will come of this particular case, it will draw attention to the fact that people don't have to accept that they should have sex with someone they don't want to, and nobody should be ashamed of that.

    Perhaps, but she was known to suffer from depression and had confided in her friends, so in this case at least, it's likely to be a last straw scenario if she was already fragile.

    It's just desperately sad.

    It wasn't, and he knows that. He just has an agenda he wants to push and is trying to shoehorn it in wherever he can.

    I'd just ignore him, tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,177 ✭✭✭PeterParker957


    I was bullied in school before the online days mind.

    If I had depression would that somehow mean the bullies were given a pass I'd I took my own life???

    My arse they should be.

    Let's hope she's at peace and the b*****rds who CAUSED This are ashamed. I doubt the second part.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    IMO you take a person as you find them. If you choose to bully a fragile person then yes, it is your fault if they can't take it and they kill themselves. Would that level of online bullying affect a reasonable man or woman in a negative manner? Yes, it would.

    This. Saying "oh but she had depression so it was kind of inevitable" may not be victim blaming per se. It's certainly bully-forgiving though.

    Permabear had a great line in one of his earlier posts: "if someone is on a ledge you don't give them a push"

    Her depression possibly contributed to her mental state and we have no way of knowing what she was feeling before these tweets, we also don't know if the abusers knew she was vulnerable but it shouldn't matter. There has to be zero tolerance of bullying regardless of the medium.

    If anyone said that, maybe.

    Pointing out that an already vulnerable person was bullied and that might explain the speed of events is something altogether different. If she had been completely well, it wouldn't make her less bullied but it may have changed the sequence of events, but we'll never know.

    There is no forgiveness for bullies, it's unforgivable. Do not even attempt to suggest I think the bullies deserve a pass.

    It's already common in some LGBT communities and kink community mainly only with trans people though. I have witnessed, in person, someone being told that they were homophobic because they refused to have sex with someone who was born a man, dressed like a stereotypical drug-addicted hooker outside a motel that you'd see in American movies, hadn't had any surgery but said she was a woman on a girls night out. The guy sort of walked himself into it after saying something along the lines of he was desperate and would ride anything but he didn't deserve the abuse he got when he said no to the transperson.
