why is there no black male actors at all?? GIVE US SOME BBC

Hi hi, we’ve shot a load of scenes with Oliver Davis and Isiah Maxwell for SLR, and a couple with Nat Turnher when we used to shoot for JustVR, all awesome people and fantastic performers.

Oliver Davis scenes were bullied so hard in the comments that we had to put a pause on working with him. The racist vitriol in the comments section for Isiah Maxwell scenes was extremely toxic and not good for anyone’s mental health to read.

People need representation, and I like that this forum thread appreciates that, but y’all need to show up in the comments section hard the first week it comes out because anyone reading that shit would likely peace out instead of watch that, and the success/viability of a scene depends on watch time & likes.

I’m not advocating for fighting in comments section, all I’m asking is to not let the loud minority dictate the future of VR, so please let your voice be heard loud, early, and frequently in the comments section

We have a cosplay scene in the works with a black male lead and look forward to having more ethnicities & genders for you to experience from a first-person perspective, because it’s helpful to walk in the shoes of others once in a while.

vrfanservice it’s helpful to walk in the shoes of others once in a while.

I'll say this loud and clear to anyone listening:

Please stop fetishizing people. Black is not a fetish. Asian is not a fetish. Trans is not a fetish.

Armpits? Totally a fetish.
Feet? Yup.
Consensual slapping, spanking, choking, spitting? For sure.

But an entire person — an actual, living human with dreams and desires and feelings — is never a fetish.

bobbytables I get that. Of course it's not racist to have preferences.

Where I'm lost, though, is why do people (not saying you do this, I have no idea) comment on videos that clearly aren't for them? Letting the producers know when you like something, that's great! It says make more of this please! Or commenting on something you were excited about but there were technical issues. That's also really helpful.

But clicking on something for which you're clearly not the audience and saying you don't want to see this doesn't really help anyone. They'll see the viewership numbers. And remember Rule 34b: If it exists, there is porn for it; if there is porn for it, someone wants to watch that porn."

I just can't fathom a benefit to raising your hand and saying "Not me."

(Again, not directed at you. Just thinking out loud.)

Edit to add: I do think the point @vrfanservice was making was more about how frustrating it is as a producer to work hard on something with a great black performer and have actual bigots show up in the comments. You know that's gotta hurt. I read it as a call to have their backs, and I will gladly pick up that belt and spank some racists.
