PETITION:Proposal to remove and ban Austin Wolf content due to federal convictions
-
It is not true that studios purged his or any other performer's content due to their criminal records. What happens is that they omit that content from regular views (homepage, featured, most popular, etc) and it only becomes visible if the user has a subscription and searches directly for their names.
This avoids the scrutiny of "promoting" those guys, while keeping it available for anyone who wants to see them.
Like discussed dozens of time in this forum, it's very delusional to think the whole internet knows who he is, that he's in jail and for what reason, this information is limited to very few of us.
All of this is very recent, it's been only 2 years. Austin Wolf has been making porn for more than a decade and still is one of the most popular performers, it is natural that people are still interested in his videos, and that is not (nor should it be) a testament to their morals, as most of them are clueless about all this.
Although I think it onlyaa matter of time until he's completely forsaken, it would help A LOT if his torrents would start being filtered out of the homepage, recommendations and even from the freeleech list, to help speed up this process.

I vote yes.

Does anyone at all have any real idea, of how many convicted felons there are, serving a prison sentence for child sexual exploitation and so on? Does anyone know how many people there are, who have not been caught and are guilty of child sexual exploitation and other things?
No? Didn't think so. But I do, as I work in a prison. All employees can see exactly what every single prisoner has been convicted of. You people who are voting to ban his videos have absolutely no idea whatsoever that paedophiles are people who work at Walmart, Amazon, your favorite fast food place or restaurant, your local movie theatre, police officers, Michael Jacksons..., fire fighters, Amazon employees, State Senators, Representatives, Judges, I.T. people and the list goes on & on & on... and some have worked right besides You! And some are your Neighbors.
So, if you do not boycott ALL of those mentioned people and places (and the others not mentioned), then you are a Hypocrite.

No. Not fair on other performers (if there was any monetisation involved on here). Feels like reading too much into what this site stands for.

I don't understand why people are so concerned about this guy and his crimes.
We have videos of a guy (his adult work) who intentionally got extremely good fake IDs so he could do porn under age. No one was arrested because he and his boyfriend were underage and the fake IDs were that good. We banned his underage porn, but allow his adult porn to be on the site.
We have murderers on here. 2 of the murderers on here murdered the studio boss involved in the bit above. We have a couple of murderers who acted as rentboys and killed their clients. We have gay for pay women beaters. We have drug dealers. We have drunk drivers, both with and without death involved. I'm sure we have other pedos on here.
To be clear, I'm not defending or protecting Austin Wolf. He does nothing for me. I may have downloaded some of his videos because of the other people in them, but I have never downloaded anything because HE specifically was in it.
Also, think of the extra work the staff would need to do to ban all these wrongdoers. Imagine the anger when these people get banned for the slightest moral or criminal infraction. Let's not forget many of you guys want Trump supporters banned.
If we ban AW's content, then we clearly must ban the content of every other performer who's ever done anything wrong, no matter how minor. Likewise, if we are to ban conservative performers, then we would need to ban liberal performers, for equality's sake.
So who are we left with when the dust settles?

@raphjd so beautifully put that you actually changed my mind, let's ban him.
Let's ban Sam Truitt who is also in jail right now for distributing child porn, Mike Dozer who raped a teen boy and gave him HIV, Brent Corrigan who literally made his career out of producing child porn, Drake Von who like you said is a disgusting coward who beats his girlfriend. Let's also ban all the performers who killed themselves like Koby Falks and Christian Styles because how sick you have to be to jerkoff to a ghost. Please also ban BoysHalfwayHouse videos for glamourizing the sexual abuse of mentally challenged BOYS. All SayUncle, Carnal+ and anything featuring Legrand Wolf for glamourizing child abuse. Also ban CzechHunter for glamourizing the sexual exploitation of financially challenged people. All TreasureIslandMedia videos for glamourizing HIV and bugchasing. Also PersianAlphaWolf for he is a racist little shit. And most importantly let's ban Alex Grant who is a lunatic Trumpist/Zionist piece of shit, Devin Franco, Hoss Kado, Sergeant Miles who are also Trumpists. And you (optional)

@ianfontinell Hopefully, Mickey Mouse did some soft core stuff, so there should be a little something left. (Although I believe Walt Disney may have quite a lot to answer for, so maybe that's out too.)

I tend to look at it in the way that people looked at Kevin Spacey in recent years. I know, I know, Spacey was found to be not guilty of the allegations and AW was found guilty, but bear with me.
At the time there was a definite movement to boycott his works and cancel him entirely, but in doing so you would also lose great performances from many others who were totally unrelated to the claims against him.
I have always found him deeply unattractive and have no desire to see him on screen, but at the same time he has made videos with many other popular porn actors. It would be a shame to lose their performances because they appeared with him.
Torrenting a performer's videos doesn't benefit or support them. If anything it probably does the opposite. I would suggest that if someone's personal feelings compel them to erase his existence from their world then by all means do so, but I see no reason to ban his videos where he appears with performers who are legal and well-known in the industry.

There are many adult performers who have a questionable past to say the least. To be clear, we are NOT the moral police. You are free to choose what is right for you, and what content you do and do not wish to deal with. We will not stop you from having your preferences in content, nor will we judge you for having an opinion (regardless of which side you're on) on a performer of their content. You are free to do as you please, and you are even free to hold whatever morals you so choose.
In order to ensure there's a little something for everyone, we generally do not ban any content specifically unless there is something about the content that is illegal, such as the content itself containing underage performers. If we were to ban content based on the actions or past of a performer, there would be little to no content left for anyone. There are countless examples I could give of performers who have a less than ideal past/history, or who have otherwise done things that even we do not agree with and would never condone under any circumstances. Although such examples exist, it does not change the fact that there is nothing illegal about the content that these performers produced.
Remember... Content of any given performer or studio may not be of interest to you, and that's totally fine, but there is nothing that requires you to download such content. You are just as free to simply scroll past content that you choose not to watch for whatever the reason, and no one is going to force you to download and/or watch such content. We are not in a position to play the moral police here. I'm sure that there are also actions from some performers that some would consider absolutely reprehensible or otherwise abhorrent, but their content is completely legal, so we leave the decision as to whether or not to engage with their content in the hands of you as the users.
Once we start crossing the line into censorship by playing the moral police, we begin crossing down a rather dangerous path. We would have to establish who we censor, where exactly we draw the line, and what exactly meets the threshold for being outright banned. Starting down that path of censorship also sets a rather dangerous trend, as this sends a strong message that freedom of choice is not a given, and that only content that is aligned with a specific set of views is permitted, while anything that does not fall in line with one specific view is not allowed. The problem with this is that this borderlines on a dictatorship style of management, which tends to be extremely problematic. So in the interest of allowing freedom of expression and allowing EVERYONE the same freedom of choice, we leave this decision to you as the users to choose whether or not you engage in any given content.
I understand that for some people, a performer's personal life holds weight in your decision as to whether or not you choose to engage with their content, however the whole point of our stand on any given content (as long as the content itself is legal) is to give you as our users the freedom to choose what is right for YOU, rather than forcing a decision down your throat for you. Not all content is for everyone, and that's fine, but the moment we start censoring content where the content itself is perfectly legal for any reason, we begin to cross the line between freedom of choice, and becoming a dictatorship. When we start dictating what content is or is not allowed based on the personal life of a performer, we start impeding your ability to make decisions or other choices for yourself. After all, the freedom of choice is not a freedom if you are not given the ability to make that decision or choice for yourself.
