More ethnic diversity

truematter

Hello everyone, I am a big fan of SLR and I appreciate the work you are doing. I would like to suggest that it would be great to see more ethnic diversity on the platform, particularly representation of Asians. Thank you for considering my feedback.

Indian (1 video available)
Chinese (3 videos available)
Korean (2 videos available)
Thai (49 videos available)
Vietnamese (7 videos available)
African (17 videos available)
Portuguese (2 videos available)
Swedish (17 videos available)
Filipino (2 videos available)

truematter particularly representation of Asians

If you include the JAV and Asian tags, more than 25 % of all videos represent Asians or Asian descent

Yes, go increase that ESG score @SLR

It's an absolute shame there's only 2 Korean videos. They're among the hottest asians imo

What do the stats on those scenes actually look like? There seems to be more Thai scenes, I wonder if that is because those are the ones more popular among those listed? Hence why it has more scenes maybe? I dont support people demanding a business to make more diversity just for the sake of it or to please some stats somewhere. If the consumers are not voting for certain things with their money or time then why should a business pump more money into something they dont see being popular in the first place? Now, if those categories in your list with less than a dozen videos perform just as good, if not better than the "standard" videos then yes, absolutely no reason why not continuing to make more of them.

I'm just curious if the SLR team would share some benchmark stats on how those videos actually perform.

This is mainly because of the Asiansexdiary studio. The girls are authentic but the studio seems to be a European guy one man show, so I guess there is no VR porn industry in Thailand.

SchnuppiLilac Personally, I don't enjoy watching JAV videos because of the censorship and the way they are filmed. Additionally, it's important to note that Japanese is not the sole representation of Asian beauty.

SchnuppiLilac yea I'm sure most of the major porn studios are either in the US or Europe and not in these asian countries which also makes it more difficult. JAV has more than covered the Japanese content but the other asian markets seem difficult to either have a team in those locations or fly girls from those countries. Of course, none of these people demanding more diversity take any of these type of things into consideration.

truematter so is this about actual diversity or your personal likes? Your post was specifically asking for Asian representation and @SchnuppiLilac pointed out that the Jav videos alone already account for 25%, which is quite a large margin. So you like some Asian content but not other asian content? But you want more Asian representation as long as it's the one you like?

truematter I think the global legal situation also plays a big role. If there is no industry, there will be no performers. If you look more closely at scenes that are tagged Indian or Chinese or Korean or African, you will find that these are all from performers who were maybe born there but at some point in their life moved to the US or Europe.

And about those VR videos filmed in Thailand: On his website, the guy claims that he moved to Asia since he was 'seriously fed up with western female attitudes' and claims that Asian 'Girls actually LIKE men and want to please them over here'. But in his videos, many girls (who may be working girls and not performers) look as if they'd rather be somewhere else and don't seem to enjoy it. This is sometimes disturbing to watch. Therefore, before supporting shady businesses exploiting women, I rather do without the diversity and stick to the performers that are available in those countries that have an established and legally operating industry.

I can support this as long as this doesn't turn into a woke fiesta like recent Disney releases. Hot girls are all over the world but being an NA company I have zero issues seeing more NA casting than others.

metichemsi I don't understand why you're being mean towards me. You are assuming that I'm "demanding" something while I say that's just a suggestion. I do not have any expectations from SLR. I know that could be a challenge for some, and I'm aware of the industry being illegal in some countries. It doesn't stop many studios, like StasyQVR, from filming in Asia. Yet no one is saying that those videos should be directed in "red zones." What would stop you from finding those performers in the "green zones"?

In addition, it's important to note that there are over 50 countries in Asia. Therefore, suggesting that having Japan alone should be sufficient seems to overlook the diversity and opportunities available in other countries within the region.

SchnuppiLilac Bravo!

SchnuppiLilac

truematter By the way, there is a casting section in this forum where you can suggest specific performers.

truematter Not trying to be mean towards you, it's just not as simple as asking for more diversity. To your own point on your initial post, you stated asian representation, but when someone pointed out that the actual asian category is actually quite fruitful, you then pivoted and broke that down by saying that its skewed by one group within that category you were asking for, which by the way, you also stated is not your favorite for x reasons. So, there is a lot of asian content, it's just not your favorite type? So is this really about diversity or your personal preference? There is nothing wrong with you having tastes but it's better to express those as casting suggestions as other have mentioned instead of simply asking for more broad asian representation, when in fact you really only seem to care about certain subgroups of what you are asking for. All I was saying is that perhaps the granular level of diversity you are asking for is not there either because they are simply not as popular and another member also pointed out the legal aspect of it, because that is huge to also consider.
