My thoughts and heart go out to the Ukrainian and SLR people. Wish there was something I could do to affect the outcome. Just know I'm advocating every effort be done to help Ukraine and put an end to Putin's rule to everyone that will listen to me. =/

Actually I've been concerned. There are camgirls I kinda like and who I've been extra concerned about since they haven't been online for a while. I hope nobody has come to any harm =(

    Procyon I don't think there are many Ukrainian performers online these days

    Are you seriously going to punish Russian girls for something their government is doing? What do you hope to accomplish here? As if these girls have anything to do with the war or have any power to affect the decisions made by their government... All you're going to accomplish with this is financially damaging the girls and have no impact on the efforts to stop the war... 👎

      In addition to the above; it's kinda saddening to see how little these platforms care about the well-being of the girls. They depend on you and taking away (a part of) their income intentionally is most definitely not going to improve their well-being.

      These girls and the other Russian citizens are literally the ONLY ones who can change things within Russia. Period. Any attempts at forcing change by anyone other than the Russian people themselves will result in Putin or someone equally as maniacal pushing the nuclear button.

      I support banning more money going to the Russian economy. Russians need to stand up and protest, like thousands have done. If millions protest, that will change the direction of the war. So yes, we need to stop sending money to Russia to protest, and let Russians know if they want to be part of the civilized world, they need to stop killing women, little kids and babies in Ukraine. Deliberately attacking civilians is pure evil. Literally, if millions of Russians protest, this war will stop. They can't jail all of them, and the vast majority of protesters are released fast from the police, despite the threats of prison, like WTF is wrong with Russia, you can't protest? like how can u even call yourself a country. If you don't think Russians can rise up against their evil gov't, ask the last czar.

      You could also ask the Russian performers to donate money to the Ukrainian defence force, ie, 50% of their fees or something before any remaining money is sent to them, that would maybe show they are on the side of not murdering children.

      You do realize ethic Russians and Ukrainians are white, right? Meaning literally it's impossible for them to be racist towards each other. Nothing remotely borderline racist. Putin's verbal vomit even says they are the same people.

      Also, the ban on sports is for Russian citizens, not only ethic Russians. You do realize that in Russia, not all are ethic Russians, but the ban applies to all Russian citizens, including black, brown, Asian, whatever. And ethic Russians who fled their country for the civilized world, guess what, they can compete. So no, there is no ban on ethic Russians. It's a ban on citizens of Russia, and does not affect ethic Russians in other countries where they are citizens of those other countries and competing under a non-evil flag.

        "You could also ask the Russian performers to donate money to the Ukrainian defence force, ie, 50% of their fees or something before any remaining money is sent to them, that would maybe show they are on the side of not murdering children."

        It's really disgusting to read this. The models that work here DO NOT HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO ANYONE. How can you insinuate that either they take a public stand or that they support the war? What kind of logic is that. How can you blame Russian citizens for the actions of their rulers and a tyrant like Putin? Are we crazy?

        There is a basic problem here that in my opinion will not be solved by banning models of Russian origin from the site. I have already complained here several times about the humiliating treatment they usually receive now as they are now crucified for something they have no say in. And now they want to give them a discriminatory treatment just for being Russian. This is going to destroy them completely.

        It is good to take a stand in favor of Ukraine. Fuck, fuck Putin! I'm the first one to say it! I understand that, as a company, you stop doing business in Russia. But to blame the citizens, with almost xonophobic treatment, I don't understand.
        And anyone who thinks that going out on the streets in russia to protest is easy is either very naive or has no idea how that country works. People are FEARFUL to go out, FEARFUL. And it is not about defending russia, it is about humane treatment and dealing with the issue with honesty and sensitivity.
        ALL THIS DOES IS SPREAD HATE. I understand saying that Russians should take the streets. But what we have to do is to encourage those who dare to do so, not to be xenophobic towards everyone no matter what.

        Personally I think banning Russian models is going to do absolutely no good. Support Ukraine and the Russians who are against the war however you want and fuck Putin, that's what you should do.

        I wonder where all the bleeding hearts were when geopolitical realities demanded expansion and militairy interventions of the so called "defensive alliance" NATO, and the west in general? (by the way, i'm from Western Europe, but maybe after reading the following, i'll be called a Russian bot by most).
        You want to criticize Russia and its expansionist behaviour and associated atrocities of war? By all means do it, but please do so with your eyes open:

        What you are doing specifically on this site solves nothing, and as already stated by a few people above, you're only punishing people that are showing their bodies on the internet to make enough of a living to not live in poverty in rural Russia. These people want to enjoy the same quality of life and luxuries that we all know in the west (most of which are possible by the above wars which among other things fed into expanding the global economy), but you want to deny them that.

        Think about the sheer hypocrisy and nonsensical state of it all.

        Whatever the right word, is I think xenophobic would be more fitting, but I do not care, English is not my first language.

        It is a discrimination of people because of their passport, and this is simply not right.

        Putin's verbal vomit even says they are the same people.

        They are, we are all humans on planet earth in the solar system somewhere in the milky way of our universe.
        Nationalities are just artificial "classifications" of human beings.

        BTW: If we ban Russian models for being Russian, we also should ban US models as long as their government is keeping torturing people in Guantanamo (didn´t Obama already want to close this disgraceful piece of human history?). But wait this would mean we lose a lot of revenue, shit we can not do that. But we can ban the Russians that make 0,001% of our revenue, I mean this removes the source of income of them, but fuck it it is just a hand full of Russians anyway. Yeah we can easily do that and "support" Ukraine by hurting a handful of Russians.

        I am all against war, and for support for the people suffering from it, but banning Russian models does not support anyone. It does not prevent a single death, nor helping people in the Ukraine that just lost their home. It is just as meaningless as telling your kid to eat up because there are starving children in Africa.

        BTW: What´s next, removing all the videos with Russian models in them? So no more Liya Silver, Kaisa Nord, Gina Gerson, Stefany Kyler, Lana Roy, Jia Lissa, Alecia Fox... anymore, because well their only fault in life is that they where born in the largest country of planet earth?

        Or do we keep them shtistorm of our customers would be too large, but we do not accept new videos with any of them?

          "We can't tolerate russian war in Ukraine killing thousands of people just like us.
          As of today we don't sell any services to people from russia or belorus.
          In a week from now all the russian performers will be removed from our cams."

          This policy, if you go through with it, will have no positive effect on the issue. It will have all the impact of a fart in a whirlwind. It appears that you have decided to take action based on emotion and a desire to "do something", thinking that will be enough to justify your knee jerk reaction. So you will put thousands of people out of work to get your ego boosted today. How are you any different than Putin? You're both on power trips that benefit no one but yourself. And the benefit you get is mere personal satisfaction. My favorite model is Russian. She also hates what is going on in Ukraine, but is powerless to stop it. And if she tries, she may well end up in prison. The economy in Russia is collapsing. The ruble is now less valuable than the Afghani (the currency of Afghanistan) and still falling. Prices for most things are up about 30% (figured in pre-sanction rubles). And you want to take away their income in a childish tantrum which will have no effect on the people responsible for the war. Your proposed action is not a solution, but part of the problem. If I may no longer see my favorite on your site(s), then I will no longer do business with you. And I will tell my friends not to do business with you. The day she disappears from the feed, I will cancel my memberships.

            Putin is murdering women, little kids, and babies. That's a massive difference!!!

            Putin does not suggest others are the same people as his, like black people. He wants to own ukrainians, doesn't believe it's a real country. He thinks the Nazis have taken over Ukraine and is run by drug addicts. Putin literally said this to all Russian people, with a significant amount of them too stupid to know they are lies.

            It will probably surprise one or two people now.

            The Russian girls get a maximum of a quarter of the money you pay.
            The rest goes to the website and to the operators of the big studios, especially in the big Russian cities.
            So... if you pay 100 EUR for sexual services to a girl, and you think you are doing something "good" for the girls, you must know that 75 EUR of that money goes into the pockets of very rich Russians.

            Does this system sound familiar to you?
            Exactly! Every pimp and hourly hotel works on the same principle!

            It's a very bad business.

              Busbear That is true to some degree. Otherwise performers are making 50% from every dollar spent.

              Busbear It surprises less of us than you might think since some of us have been users, moderators and friends to the women in this industry for a long time. Furthermore, nuance is important, and the ratio you're quoting is inaccurate and can not be extrapolated for every studio or every site in the industry (not even mentioning the women that are independent). It's also very unwise to cite actual locations of performers and it borders on malevolent behavior. I guess because these are Russian women all bets are off. Burn them at the stake?

                So, i suppose you're region blocking the acces to the site from russia and find and block any russian user account on the site. Or is this site partially financed from an authoritarian country that kills children? See what I've done? C'mon...

                Reducing everything to "every russian connection is bad" only shows the lack of sympathy and knowledge about this problem.

                Banning russian models it's a bad idea in my opinion. They're trying to do his job, nothing more. This just shows, once again, the discriminatory treatment the models suffer.

                I really hope this can be rectified and common sense wins.

                And fuck Putin!
