And should we really be shaming people for who they choose to have sex with? Maybe it is slightly bigoted if they won't sleep with X, but I don't think anyone should be made to sleep with someone if they don't want to, just to appease others.

It's a job, it's not the same as having sex in your personal life. If a Hollywood actor came out and said they wouldn't make movies with anyone who is gay, that wouldn't be considered acceptable.

except that is not the same fucking thing at all.
---

It's alarming how the rights come out in droves about this.
---

Would this be the thread I can tag and expect updates and the aftermath if there was bullying involved? Or that type of stuff doesn't happen since MagicDonut left. I checked the OP and there wasn't even a screenshot or article link that she died. Im not doubting it but usually whenever someone dies people post a link reporting it.

Yes, it is. Maybe some actor won't do a kiss scene with anyone who has kissed a gay guy. Fucking ridiculous. They're allowed to have that opinion and choose not to do it, but they full well deserve to be shunned and looked down upon.

In a standard job I agree with you. But I consider sex to be different. Seeing as it at its basic concept an "intimate act" I don't think people should be made to have sex with anyone other than they are comfortable with. If a company then doesn't want to hire someone because of that? That is totally fine, but I don't think people should be harassed over who they chose to have sex with regardless.

If you think that would've hurt her career at all you have no idea what you're talking about.

might not have hurt her popularity (since the alt-right probably has a new favorite porn star), but it would have hurt who would be willing to cast her in things. Pretty much the entire industry turned on her.

Is it any different to a prostitute who wouldn't have sex with a ugly man? Not really.

If she was willing to have sex with people for money on camera sex obviously wasn't a particularly intimate act for her. She was a bigot, sad she's dead because yeah she was a person. But her views were disgusting.

Wait, did she actually say she would never do a scene with any one who is gay, or did she just refuse one specific guy?

Wow first white female pornstars were shamed for not wanting to perform with black men, now being shamed for not wanting to have sex with gay men. Whats next?

Never heard of her until now, but apparently she was bullied online and committed suicide?

Is there a GOOD article I can read about this?

not really, since it only happened like 2 hours ago

And she was the bigot. smh fam

I mean, either way is slightly shitty, but she should still be allowed to choose who she sleeps with in the end (and suffer repercussions job wise)

you're a bigot if you don't want to have an entire train of the LGBT community run on you along with every race

it's your job!

Perhaps intimate wasn't the best choice of words, but I think you know what I was trying to convey, right?

And yeah, maybe it does make her a bit of a bigot, but she should still have the right to have sex with whomever she wants. Even if it is done for money, it is still a personal act and someone should only ever have to do it with those they feel comfortable with. If she doesn't feel comfortable doing it with gay guys, then as bigoted as that may be, she has that right.
---

I'm personally of the opinion that is her body and she had the right to choose who she wanted to work with. Being in porn/a sex worker is completely different than working in retail or any other industry.

Again. not the same fucking thing. Refusing to work with someone in a job that does not require intercourse will never be comparable to refusing to work with someone in a job that does require intercourse.

Except that her refusal to not work with a particular group was based on legitimate risk factors in her profession.

If this was a muslim man refusing to be treated by a female doctor the usual people on here would be in uproar over how racist and backwards it was.
---

when you make having sex with people your job, and you refuse to do it with people because they're gay, that's discrimination. :v I'm not saying she should be forced to have sex with people she doesn't want to, but that doesn't exempt her from the resulting backlash. Of course people are going to be pissed off by that. How do you think the bisexual porn stars feel?

No one is going to take the "health concerns" excuse seriously when they already know you've taken like 50+ dicks on camera already. Use a condom if you're that concerned. Yes, they're not foolproof, but sex never is.

This is probably the closest you are going to get to a classic MD topic. Only difference is Donut was like a porn reporter. An MD thread would have had 5 screenshots from all sides. Showing the good, the bad, the fucked up, and a random Cadence Lux response to the situation (For some reason she has a response for every single porn war).

Of course not. That doesn't mean you can say "I won't work with gay guys!" and expect people not to be upset by it. Potential employers are going to look at you as a risk as well. That's just how the world works.

This. If companies didn't want to hire her for her views that would be completely fine. But that people threatened/harassed her and so on to the level they did is deplorable, and I really don't see how anyone can suggest otherwise.

Let's just look at it like this

If you're an actor, you can turn down roles if you don't want to do them. Just because acting is your job doesn't mean you have to do every role you come across.

Why are porn stars treated any differently in the public eye with who they fuck, how they fuck and so on?

If you can't handle working with gay people, you probably shouldn't make porn your profession considering that gay porn is a huge part of the business.

You can be a porn star and still choose who to fuck on camera for money. That's their choice. But it sounds like a ton of assholes felt like it was their job to shame and harass her for her own personal choice that literally didn't harm or infringe on any one.
