Fuck. That poor girl.....
Yet another person :/
That shitty 'documentary' scanned over the sm homepage, pretty sure girls agreeing to appear on sm and white labels didnt agree to being on Netflix too :/
Hot Girls Wanted is so goddamn reprehensible for this. Their whole bullshit agenda is about how *exploitative* the industry is but of course they turn around and pull this garbage. I guess it's only alright for THEM to make money off us and no one else.
Did anyone see the Cam Girl episode? Horrendous. Some girl you've never heard of who happens to work Streamate and MFC sometimes decides that her best customer has "earned" the right to meet her IRL (there are SO many things wrong with that in itself but I don't need to elaborate for y'all obviously), and flies to Australia where it is of course a complete and total disaster. Plenty of panning shots of the SM front page with faces not blurred out. Ugh.
An entourage of bodyguards and at least two cane corso dogs at all times should keep her safe. That's the first thing I would do in her heels. Not that it would ever happen to me. I wouldn't let myself get into that situation.
Kind of like those people who find themselves having to cut arms or legs off to save their own lives. A canyon would have to open up like a chasm in front of my couch in my living room for me to fall into. Cutting my limbs off wouldn't even be an option. I'd just starve and die.
She and her husband are both in porn. She's not an unknown at all. For them it may not have been weird. For some reason they didn't go into what her husband did for a living beyond being a photographer. My guess is it didn't fit the narrative they were trying to create so they just focused on her cam career and her customer for that episode.
For those who have not watched the mini series it is here. http://mywatchseries.to/serie/hot_gi...nted_turned_on
People need to understand when you become a micro celebrity porn or not. you are open to paparazzi and super fans, and everything else that comes with putting yourself out there whether its for fame, money or status.
I hated how I was treated being interviewed for the newspaper and even felt pressured being filmed for I'm stripper digital dancer even though I was only being interviewed of my knowledge of being a webcam model. and I was in a documentary up against a psychologist that had everything and anything negative to say about sex work.
Media job news, radio, tv, documentary is to get people to watch and think something is real. even if its not. if you don't know how to handle that or play by it rules then don't get involved in industries where you are subject of discussion
If you want to own the story, create it. its that simple.
That poor poor girl and this is why I don't put a face pic on the main picture for any profile of mine because when sites get scanned as advertisement I don't want my face plastered all over social media etc. Everyone knows what I do but still who wants it thrust in their face like that?!
Publishing her personal details is so dangerous as a sex worker and is just bang out of order. Now I know why Twitter blew up over this documentary :(
I'm gonna be cold here but I dont even feel a little bit sorry for her. Like if you want to go to Hollywood and become a big actor then you have to accept that if it happens for you your gonna get stalkers and weirdos with the fame.
We signed up for this. If you didnt want "strangers" to find out who you and your family are then why did you put yourself out there like that?
I think its a great thread for those starting out in the industry that want to maintain some illusion to themselves that they can do this job and stay incognito. If you already in the industry and you then act like your a victim then I feel nothing for you. Put your big girl panties on and get over yourself.
No word on how her sales have increased or decreased since the filming. Now thats a story I would love to hear about!!
Now thinking about it I also think this might just be bullshit as well. Another way to get an increase in traffic after your 15mins has ended. If she was so "scared" and upset but this stranger then why put herself out there again with real pics and links to her twitter??
If this is just a marketing ploy then I tip my hat to her for making it up and pulling the victim card. I would have totally done the same!
Am I the only one who scanned the episode to see and make sure her face wasn't plastered on Netflix all of a sudden...? :P
For real I didn't watch the documentary and I don't care too. I just find it a little hypocritical that SM lets them use their brand name and performers' faces, while we, as performers, cannot even mention our Twitter handle in a room topic or message...
The people I've known who did documentaries were no better off, they just got more freeloading jerks.
^^ Im sure she got a lot more freeloaders but if that is true she must have gotten more spenders as well! There is no reason it would only attract freeloaders!!
Exactly. And what about the fact that the SM cam girl took the client off site to Skype? THAT'S the part I didn't like, because guys who watch that will now think it's ok to ask for irl meetups.
Come to think of it, I've been getting way more requests for that lately.
This documentary is not the reason guys want us to go offsite. Nor is it the reason for men wanting to hook up. This isn't new. They've been thinking it's okay to meet and sleep with us forever. Quite a bit of the traffic that does come to SM is siphoned from dating sites and porn tubes. I don't think what was shown in this documentay will increase the number of real time request. Almost all of them say they want to hookup at some point.
Wait. They showed a SM model taking a client off site for a Skype show?? :D Cause that is hypocritical!
I reluctantly agree with this. It's not cool that they showed her real name even if for only a second. I can't understand how something like that could be revealed without someone on the HGW team thinking, "Maybe we shouldn't do this". To me Rashida Jones doesn't strike me as someone who can remain objective in these matters. Based on her interviews I could totally see her saying something like Oh well that's what you get, show her name! She's not a girls girl. With that said the one who's FB name was shown isn't helping herself out too much by doing interviews about the issue. She's just drawing more attention to herself and the tweet that has 196 retweets at this very moment. To me that's a very peculiar response to the situation.
Episode 5 shows a model who goes to Australia to meet a long term customer. She's shown in several scenes on different platforms interacting with customers. But the main fan is shown on SM and Skype and they never really talk about how that's not allowed. The setup is staged by the producers of the show and they were looking for someone willing to go through with it. It doesn't show where she says something like Hey let's skype or buy a skype show. You just see that they're there on skype. The how it occurred is never shown and conjecture imo. I have conflicting opinions about the series to be honest. Parts of it I liked but then other parts I kept thinking why didn't they focus on this more than that? I didn't want to bring up the topic because I was worried that people would start slandering other models and their choices. And that for me gets weird especially with the way many of these sites treat us?
I've just read this essay by performer Lorelei Lee related to the whole sorry affair, and not gonna lie, my eyes sting a bit.

"You are not famous. You are an exhibit. But famous people, people with credentials, will, at length, critique your image, the few sentences of your voice that were recorded and edited by someone else. That someone else will be an authority. A “real” filmmaker. A “real” writer. A “real” artist. They will call the person who used your image for their own narrative fearless. They will make claims of shining a light. They will say they’ve explored a subculture. That they’re lifting the veil. People who have viewed these few seconds of tape or this single still image will say they’ve seen your humanity. Lucky you, you’ve been humanized. Prior to this, your humanity was unviewable."
I just checked my netflix and two series showed up so Im gonna check it out. Its not something that would normally interest me to watch cause been there done that but Im kind of curious for other reasons.
Personally if someone asked me to be in a documentary (again, i was in one but basically every thing of me was cut out :D ) I would totally do it but then again I dont have kids. I have a friend who sort of ruined his kids high school years cause him and his wife participated in a documentary on their porn star lives (they are German). Their son is all grown up now but I promise you he is still really bitter about it. We all have to be careful not to use our stage names or mention anything sexual around him.
Kudos to any of the girls who did it though. Im sure its interesting to those who arent living this lifestyle 24/7 and honestly anything that brings traffic to you is a good thing in my eyes. Traffic is the name of the game after all!
Thanks for sharing. I just read it and I think she wrote it as an allegory meant to show a civilians perspective? Like how a non-adult worker would view us as not being "real" or worthy of merit. We're only things to them but thankfully Rashida Jones came along to reveal our humanity. I read that as sarcasm.
