Sad but not surprising. It starts with one sense of freedom being stripped for a "greater cause," then the next year it's something else. Sounds like a porn mandate to me, with not just unforeseen boosters every 3-6 months but unforetold "booted" material every few months.
Disclaimers at the start of each film should do the trick I would hope. Something like "All actors in this scene have willingly and fully consented to role-playing and have not been seriously harmed in the making of this film."
Everyone has their own threshold of pleasure and pain, and instead of allowing this freedom of expression in the form of kinks, taboos, and unexplored potential, we're cutting it off, essentially creating more of the sexual repression porn was intended to safely release in the first place, as well as diminishing any other creative aspects that we enjoy with no harm being done, like watching a woman's ass in bed as she sleeps in the dark. Many of us skip the pissing, the x-virtual, the grannies, the fisting, the bdsm, the many other tags, but there is beauty in diversity and choice. Others may like it and do; they are just as deserving of their unlikely fetishes as those of more "normal" desires.
It's understandable the concern, but if we/they can't stand by this, then at some point we will not be able to stand by "All models in this scene are 18+" because they will not allow it, judging by how young example these jav models are looking. Not my cup of tea for the most part, but what is legal is legal. These models looking more and more young is just natural evolution, along with dress-up and make-pretend acting for the camera. It's not an issue now, but it will be in just a matter of time, and for other perceptual issues. Just like there is a population of people who three years ago were immunity-wise no different than they are now, yet are facing all manner of discrimination and ostracization from society from not meeting the new and forced demands of vaccines, the same will happen for these innocent models and their fan-base for not meeting the "redefined" criteria of what porn "should" look like. This is what I feel is happening now with these compliances.
But hey, things change, we all change, and will still have options. Hopefully we can keep our jobs if we don't go along with the bs and hopefully we can keep 40% of our paying members who could care-less about an outer portrayal of "porn wellness" when it is already experienced by way of our subscription. Sorry for the ramble, just venting and releasing. Everyone has their own valid interpretation and I'm cool with that. Thanks for sharing and keeping us in the loop. Looking forward to lighter headsets from US, compatible with SLR or DEO.
