I don't understand why those materials cannot be used since they are also used in the hollywood movies.
I get it. Keeping with Leeroy's theme from earlier, we would not be allowed to host something like Mel Gibson's "The Passion."
I guess it comes down to how it is actually portrayed. It's a thin line but you can see pretty well if an actress is really frightened or whether she is only role-playing or even in on the game.
I completely agree that there is a thin line and SO many shades of grey. One of the rules we have to adhere to is that
...marketing and search terms (must) not give the impression that (the) content contains... depiction of nonconsensual activities;
I think there is a balance to be struck. We are currently having internal conversations about how to best facilitate power play and consensual "non-consent" scenes and scenarios whilst complying with financial industry rules. Some of the most popular BDSM niches and even something as benign as tickling fetish videos may conceivably feature a performer saying "no" as part of the play. One option may be that we start asking producers to include footage where the actual safe-words and stop-words in place for a scene are disclosed. Maybe the community has other ideas. I would love to hear them!
What I can promise you is that our overriding goal is to find ways to facilitate legal and consensual material and I have no truck with people saying something should be banned, just because it is not to their taste.
