Re: Active Duty update thread
Personally, I can't wait for his next scenes, as I've said to you privately and elsewhere here, regardless of the tats, he's one of the hottest guys that activeduty has had - second only to the adorable 'Cash'!!!
This is sad. I always thought you had a better head on your shoulders. I am kind of disappointed with how you are willing to overlook this guys tatts for a wank.
That's really rather bold and also rather ballsy (and not in the good sense) coming from someone who marks his every post with an image from Tom of Finland, who spent much of his career eroticising Nazi imagery:
Care to tell us what the odds are that
you didn't know?
Care to tell Us....."" Really?? Dude, Who are you??
See my response and Dudoo1's post's.
Let me be the first to say that I give Hellax24 the benefit of the doubt that he didn't know. Something he refused to grant to Axl and something that everyone else on this thread who has joined in the crucifixion of Axl obviously didn't recognize or point out.
Admittedly, I didn't know that about Tom Of Finland myself. Further proof that we are often guilty of making the mistake of calling people out for honest ignorance or simply not being informed.
On this point, I finally rest my case. All I can do from here on, if anything, is laugh not only at my own ignorance but that of the very people who rallied on with just as much blindness in their indignation for Axl and his tattoos as they did for not knowing what symbols they used to express or represent themselves here on the thread.
Thanx for Giving me the "Benefit of the Doubt" However, maybe you should have researched it a bit more before posting and you would have seen that with all art there are positive and negative views on any given piece. Art invokes many emotions good and bad and not everyone will agree with what the other feels or thinks about it.
As for the Axl, it was your excuses and and condescending tones that really heated up this discussion. It was also how yourself and Jasun decided to play "We make porn and you don't so you have no valid or intelligent thoughts about this hot mess of a kid"
As for Tom of Finland, his imagery of leather and uniform fetishism is well known but i dont think that means Tom of Finland is an endorser of Nazism. In fact i interpret it as a smart subversion of it, a commentary on how despite their anti gay ideology, Nazism can be twisted into homoerotic imagery, which throws acid in the face of Nazism itself.
Thank You for answering this because apparently someones Google isn't working. To compare Dink's product with Tom of Finland is Ballsy, and not in a good way" Tom of Finland created ART, Dink makes porn of str8 military men(Supposedly) that at times has the top pulling out with fecal matter on their dick and out of the bottoms ass.
I'm really amazed that this is still going on.
Ok first, let me address the novel Dink has written.
I have spoken to 2 other people in porn 1. a staff member of a porn company and 2 a director.
The Staff member of the porn company rarely posts here yet keeps tabs on the discussion about models, scenes and such regarding his company. He was nice enough to engage in a dialogue with fans of his site. I asked why there were not more AF-AM on the site and he told me that they had started with young collegians sort of an Ambercrombie & Fitch set up and once they became popular they kind of pigeon holed themselves wit that type of branding. Though they did feature Men Of Color, but not in a large number. However, they did continue to add more AF-AM and most of their members welcomed the more diverse line up of models and when an AF-AM model wasn't seen for awhile they were definitely missed. I have also seen or heard of members that did not like the AF-AM models on the site. That did not to this day stopped featuring AF-AM models and responded to the racist members accordingly by calling them out. That company has my respect to not bowing down to close minded, racist consumers.
This company has 2 distinct sites. 1. Gay and another for their bi/str8 scenes. When questioned about their success with both sites especially the str8/bi site considering that there are some in out community that do not care for Gay 4 Pay or seeing their favorite models with women. He told me that the str8/bi site wasn't a huge success, but they never intended it to be. I asked him that question because when speaking to the Director for the second site told me that Bi movies for the company he worked for would never happen because their core audience wouldn't go for it and they would lose customers. That sounded odd to me since the company he worked for had 3 sites. 1) for cross generational audience which the owner starred in, 2) for men who didn't want to see the owner in the movies and 3) for str8 scenes. Well, i challenged that and even contaced the owner directly and we had exchanges back and forth. Well, they did do a Bi scene and it was a huge success.
So when you say that your members wouldn't like to see a more diverse line up of models i need to call Bullshit. If you have never done it you don't know if it is recieved well or not. Now, if it is your personal attitude about not hiring more Men of Color then say so and not use flimsy excuses that really insults people's intelligence. You your self have posted your one and only attempt at hiring and AF-AM model and have painted all AF-AM models with the same brush. Hey, Arpad Miklos is not attracted to AF-AM men yet, he shot a hot threesome for Dirk Yates, whom i have mentioned has no problem finding hot AF-AM models for his movies. I am also glad to see that he is still putting out movies.
