I agree about breaking safewords = rape (even posted that on this forum somewhere). Not sure if you are implying I disagree with that? I was just noting your support of police shooting black people. I do not think that is part of the job.

You said James is paid to do a job and this is the wrong tree. Yet you have followed up saying breaking safewords is rape. Contradicting yourself here.

Joe, ignoring a safeword in BDSM is equivalent to rape. I can give credence to a dom not hearing the word in a sex scene once but if a sub screams her safeword twice and the dom does not stop he needs to be prosecuted, convicted (if the allegations are true) and executed. I don’t have enough evidence to convict James but if he did rape someone he deserves the same treatment as some nobody on the street raping someone.

Joe, I admit I don’t know him personally but from what I have seen over the years in interviews and movies Steven St. Croix is intelligent, well-spoken and seems to have a decent reputation. It is also notable that Steven does not show up in adult industry media as a rapist or overly rough performer. About the only issues I can see with Steve taking James place on the APAC board are whether he wants to and the limited scope of companies he works for/types of scenes he performs in possibly affecting how well he can represent the male talent base as a whole. Maybe the solution to that is to have two male representatives on the APAC board, one being Steven and another being a male BDSM peformer like Wolf Hudson or Mark Davis. Being that Steven does not do rough-sex roles and Wolf or Mark perform in only BDSM scenes on a regular basis — and Mark only works for Kink while Wolf only has a few scenes for companies other than Kink, one of those outside scenes was a 43 person gang-bang where the girl was fucked 50 times by 43 people in one scene which is quite close to BDSM anyway IMO.

As for James reputation I hadn’t read too much bad about him but Stoya posted a picture several years ago to a blog she had at the time of her obviously beaten to a pulp with a comment that someone she had loved did that to her. She did not say whether the beating was consensual or not and James has always had a reputation for liking BDSM (Stoya dated and lived with James for a number of years) so I left that issue alone at the time. I wonder now if she was attempting to hint at something more sinister with that picture and comment on her blog (I actually thought about that possibility at the time but I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt in cases like that). I am not saying James is guilty of anything yet but Mike has a keen sense of when a porn performer is a scumbag and with today’s posts I believe Mike sees proverbial smoke here, where there is smoke there is also usually fire.

It is not part of a police offers job to kill unarmed people; which in most cases is what is happening. If you are referring to the Ferguson one, the cop was not doing his job by pulling over people just for walking in a certain way (being black). He was wrong to do that and poured gasoline on a fire. it is a police officers job to defuse a situation. Too many want to be thugs themselves and they escalate situations by how they treat people and why they are bothering them in the first place.

Not sure why you would even bring that up in this discussion.

Ignoring a girls safeword is not “part of the job” either.

She’s not trying to prove anything, Karmafan, meaning Stoya isn’t going to the authorities.

I get what you are saying but the idea of not talking to them was to address the response and my thoughts on the situation I didn’t say Deen was Guilty, more than likely I will do a post where I try to speak to Deen, Stoya, Tori Lux and others. This is, I think going to be a bigger story and Deen and Stoya and others will have ample opportunity to make their thoughts known. But the main thing that strikes me in this is the sheer volume of charges and the similarity of all of them…One girl who contacted me is well known for her extreme scenes and she told me that Deen was at the very top of her no list….In general I think where there is smoke there is a fire, but as yet I will be the first to say I dont know if Deen is guilty or not I simply have an opinion which I stated here…I welcome others opinions because more than once you guys have influenced me to change my mind about something.

THATS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM AURORA SNOW.

SO all of you people that wanna go blame James, are the exact same people that probably blame cops when a black kid points a gun at their head and gets shot and wants to throw the cop in jail for doing his damn job!

James is paid to do a job. Ya’ll are barking up the wrong tree especially you @mikesouth

Princess Donna is siding with Stoya on twitter: “It takes a brave woman to speak up.”

Porn is full of misogynistic people on both sides of the camera.

If it happened off camera in the privacy of their home it becomes he said/she said and will be tough to prove. She would have to have some physical evidence (bruises, torn anus, etc…) or phone messages where he says he is sorry he raped her. Even a PD fresh out of law school would be able to beat that charge.
