Quick Reminder: You Aren’t Allowed To Leave Comments About Gay Porn Stars’ Private Lives On This Website
I left the below comment in response to other comments being posted on the Curtis post from earlier today, and I’m re-posting it (slightly edited) here so it can be easily referenced in the future. If you have any questions as to why you’re not allowed to discuss gay porn stars’ private/personal lives on this website, this should clear up any confusion.
***
I get that some of you get a kick out of mentioning Curtis’ alleged personal Facebook page (because some creeper was able to figure out his real name) every time he’s in a new scene, but at what point does it get old to keep bringing it up and saying the same things? Yes, the page features conservative memes and far right-wing opinions, and yes, it appears that he’s married to a woman (as are dozens of gay porn stars). But, this is all stuff on a personal FB page that–I’m presuming–he doesn’t know is being viewed by his “fans” (if that’s what they’re even called). Furthermore, Curtis’ alleged views are being speculated about in the comments sections of blogs because someone figured out his name and found what appears to be his personal Facebook page, but no one can be certain of who has access to that page and who is posting/sharing to it. For all anyone knows, it might not even be his page. Until or unless Curtis decides to promote himself and his opinions publicly (like, for example, Paul Canon or JD Phoenix), nothing he says is of interest here.
If you are so bored that all you can do is keep repeating the same thing about how there was an anti-Obama meme on a performer’s personal Facebook page, please leave and post those comments on some other blog. Not only is it an invasion of privacy, it’s really fucking boring. Carrying on about a performer’s personal life based on what might appear on their personal Facebook page—or what some other commenter read in the comments section of another blog—is absolutely ridiculous and can easily lead to false information being accepted as truth, and/or an invasion of privacy.
I’m only saying this one more time: Comments about performers’ personal lives will be deleted as soon as I see them. If you continue to push, get cute, and try to leave these comments, you’ll be banned permanently. (Comments about why comments are being deleted will also be deleted.)
In case it isn’t clear why this policy is in place: This isn’t about Curtis’ alleged political views (which I obviously disagree with), it’s about protecting all performers’ privacy. If someone is allowed to post about Curtis’ personal life (after snooping on his FB page), what’s to stop someone else from leaving a comment about some aspect of another performer’s personal life with which they disagree? What’s to stop someone from discovering that their favorite performer is HIV-positive and then leaving a comment here telling everyone about that performer’s HIV status? What’s to stop someone from posting the names of a gay porn star’s family members, as extracted from the gay porn star’s personal Facebook page? Personal information (political affiliation, favorite pizza toppings, HIV status) taken from a performer’s personal social media account that isn’t associated with their stage name is off limits. The line has to be drawn somewhere. If you can’t understand that, just leave now and save us all the trouble. I’m sure there are other blogs that will allow you to talk about the personal lives of adult models whom you don’t know.
Many of you enjoy the luxury of leaving comments on a gay porn blog under fake names and pseudonyms, but how would you like it if I was somehow able to find out all your real names, access your Facebook pages, and then start posting comments on the internet that revealed all of your personal information and opinions, with which many people would undoubtedly disagree?
Long story short: None of us are friends with these gay porn stars IRL, and there is no reason to be snooping around their personal Facebook pages looking for salacious details about their personal lives.
P.S. Mainstream news stories, crimes (preferably recent ones), multiple arrests, deaths, public events, and gay porn stars who have gained notoriety in some other field obviously fall under a completely different set of rules, so don’t bother going back into all the old posts on this website looking for ways to play “gotcha.”
P.P.S. If you think you’ve stumbled upon something interesting regarding your favorite gay porn star, but aren’t sure if it’s newsworthy or if revealing it would violate their privacy, feel free to email me.
