What exactly is bad behavior? That I brought to the attention to the industry that a well known pornographer had shot a minor that was 17 years old and was met with the "fuck off, where's the proof" and then when I provided proof, I was again told to "fuck off, you're not part of our industry"?
Or was my bad behavior in that I had to chase this guy from industry board to industry board making the same claims and receiving the same treatment? This story has been out there since December 2008 but no one gave a fuck until Shoehorn was screwed over and the allegations were brought up again. Still, the responses were "fuck off, if true, why hasn't he been charged?"
Was it really my bad behavior by doing my civic duty alerting the authorities to the events that took place or was it really bad behavior on the adult industry's part for not policing their own industry better? Would it have been better behavior for me to keep my mouth shut like those who were aware of the events that occurred and sweep it under the rug like many want to have happen?
Oh wait. I know. It's bad behavior to actually stand for something you believe in and draw attention, positively or negatively, when something occurs that could have a far reaching affect not just for the model and talent, but to the affiliates and customers that put faith in the place they choose to do business with could impact their freedom through promotion or consumption of illegal material. Right? Is that what it is?
Or is it bad behavior because no one in adult ever seems to take notice unless someone stands and screams, kicks, yells, or acts like an asshole or more effectively, threatens their income and ability to continue to do so?
And while its easy to thump one's chest, claiming to be unique and stand for what they believe in (i.e. the right to produce porn), many lack the sheer balls and conviction to actually do the right thing. That is called responsibility.
Its also easy to jump on the forum bandwagon and make me out to be the evil bitch but again, I ask, who was party to the events that occurred and who is truly responsible for this situation? Whats even funnier is that behind the scenes, I get support from many people that have said I did the right thing in standing up for what I believe in even if its not in front of the adult forum crowd. The same people that are wishing Dirty D good luck are the same ones laughing saying they knew it was going to happen eventually or see a chance to capitalize on his lack of presence.
Call me a bitch, call me a content whore, call me a guy, call me whatever.... but you cannot call me without integrity and conviction. Every claim I have made has been the truth as evidenced by Dirty D's arrest and the other two guys who I had no knowledge of prior to the story disclosing their arrests. Integrity cannot be measured until you are faced with a dilemma and have to make a choice. Conviction is actually following through on something you believe in.
So I guess this is what you consider bad behavior?
