you are not better than the people who were deceived by him by never having been convinced by his ruse. you’re just looking for your gold star in the wake of this news dropping. to say you were on the right side of this particular moment in cancel culture history
Was the other shoe dropping like this something many people saw coming ? yes. But do you know who didnt see it coming? The countless boys i know he hurt.
i’ve also seen a lot of ppl on here parading about talking abt how they never watched his content, or always got the creeps from him. Fantastic, great! so proud of you (sarcasm) but think for like idk, one second. who does that help exactly?
sex workers are not the issue, adult entertainers are not the issue. Kink is not the issue. The issue is that this man was able to go unchecked for so long that he thought he was invincible.
He is a symptom of some incredibly deep-seated issues within the gay porn industry. We – as consumers – have to engage with media critically. and That includes porn. But Porn itself is not the issue.
Condemn Austin, condemn his actions, condemn the aspects of the adult entertainment industry that makes it possible for men like him to hurt people the way he has unimpeded for as long as he has.
also like, being so real. it worries me how much of the conversation about this Austin Wolf business keeps circling back to dangerous, puritanical, anti porn & sex work rhetoric.
look all this austin wolf shit it great and all. Believe me i’m glad as hell the fucker is behind bars, but like. Im just sitting here thinking abt all the people he hurt who are having to see his face all over their timelines today.
