LifestylesVR channel - CANCELED

Clearly the subscribers overwhelmingly believe the women who have spoken up (and God knows how many who haven't) abouut the predatory behavior of this sick fuck. These reports aren't just Twitter one-offs, you can easily find in just a minute Emma Hix's account (and many others) and see how clearly she feels violated.

SLR leadership is not taking into account the hit in lost revenue and the talent that will refuse to work with SLR whether or not Jimmy is an employee or just a contributor. SLR doesn't see it, but this is one of the worst decisions conceivable in this industry. That SLR leadership would stand with him is a solid indicator that they share a disdain of women with that jackhole. They feel that if a woman is doing this for a living, she's trash and is free game to whatever they want to do to them.

I suppose their SLR's next move will be to post weight loss tips from Jared Fogle and tips on how to pick up chicks by R. Kelly. It disgusts me that a site that purports to be a safe and healthy environment for performers actually just thinks of them as whores.

doublevr why Jimmy ? Do you not know that he was accused of assault multiple times by multiple people? He's not a safe person to have on set. Google his name and an entire Jezebel article will come up about it.

I am in disbelief that you (SLR) are giving Jimmy a channel. This goes completely against your values. To act like you aren’t enabling him because it is his own separate channel is pure lunacy.

I stand with all of the others speaking out. The models deserve better. You wonder why they are all flocking to OFs. They deserve to be treated professionally and with utmost respect. This will not only have significantly negative impacts on your brand, but it will also hurt the entire VR industry. I’m so disappointed.

doublevr Should we ban people channels because those reports?

Yes. This isn’t a court case. This is a business decision to maintain the integrity of your brand. You established your core values for a reason.

If you proceed with his channel, you will lose a large portion of your customer base, many models will refuse to work with you (further degrading your brand), and VR’s reputation will take a negative hit, further driving models to produce content in ways they feel safe and have more control over. Meanwhile, the stigma that porn has - the stigma that causes banks to scrutinize your content, members to not join, models to shy away from the industry or retire early - only grows. I thought you all understood this, and that was why you established your core values of being focused on wellness.

Based off of all of the different accounts of the events from the models, it is extremely unlikely they are making it up. But, even if they were, the perception is still there. It is not worth the risk. If Jimmy wants back in the industry, he can try to start his own company. Don’t compromise yours.

Alex Coal submitted a statement to the Wankz lawyer - and what happened? Nothing, for 3 years, until her audience found out and demanded action. That's what you get for speaking out in porn, a refusal to act or have accusations taken seriously by the guys in charge - guys like yourself if you ignore every voice that came forward. And yes performers do use Twitter, you can't invalidate their claims because of the platform. Stars like Vanna Bardot, Adriana Chechik, Emma Hix, Emma Starletto, Aidra Fox - at least 12 came forward. Here's an interview, not on Twitter, where Emma Hix talks about her experience

After the models came forward, Jimmy released a 10 minute apology and said he would contact individual stars. What does it say about him that this is the apology as it stands now?

It's the guys in power who have historically let this kind of behavior continue in porn, to everyone's detriment. You are now the guy in power. Please do the right thing, for your company, your subscribers and the models you profess to care for. This isn't even just a moral decision, the financial and reputational consequences are huge.

I live in another country, I can't bring a case .

I'm just saying that SLR is working on some cool things, but people are mostly talking about Jimmy since he's been listed in the plans.

It actually makes perfect sense that you brought him in since you both seem to have the same response to people telling you not to do something.

Deleted my account yesterday. Feel free to delete me from here too.

Haha, I can't help but chuckle at the whole drama above. It's hilarious and pathetic at the same time! Honestly, I feel like I've stumbled into some alternate universe where everyone's suddenly a judge and jury.

Now, I'll admit, I'm totally in the dark here. This whole Jimmy story apparently happened in a time when I wasn't a forum guy and had nothing to do with this online drama. Back then, I was just happily devouring scenes without a clue who was pulling the strings behind the scenes. So, forgive me if I'm not jumping on the bandwagon, I wasn't born a flunkey, who just follows what the majority say.

Till this point and after reading a few of the statements shared above, I'm still firmly planted on the neutral ground. No grudges, no prejudgments against Jimmy, especially since Jimmy's not exactly behind bars... and last I checked, forums and Twitter aren't exactly courtrooms. All we've got to go on are a handful of statements from a few models, not exactly convincing evidence in my book. Feels more like a simp club squabble than a righteous defense of the abused. (shrug)

It's giving me serious Depp vs. Heard vibes. Remember that circus? Johnny had the popularity and the fans from the get-go, so it was pretty much game over for Amber, no matter what came out later. Here, though, it's Alex Coal with the devoted following, and her fans seem to have already drawn their battle lines. Jimmy and his crew could probably call Jesus to forgive his sins, but it wouldn't sway anyone. (I'm neutral not defending him)

I just wanna end this statement of mine, with a reminder I've mentioned here in this forum before: models need to set their boundaries crystal clear, have a solid agent or agency in their corner, and just live their lives in peace. Boundaries differ from person to person, after all. Like for instance Leah Gotti has made it clear that after set male touching her body was a no-go for her, while others might be more lenient. Take Blake Blossom's after-set video I shared below, for example, that'd set off alarm bells for Leah, but didn't bother Blake.

Blake's Tweet

doublevr You are at a pivotal moment right now with your company, whether you want it to be or not. You want SLR to be a leader in the VR industry. If you are indeed calling the shots, these are the decisions you have to make that will ultimately decide the destiny of SLR.

Let the courts handle it. If I’m being honest, from what little I’ve seen, he seems like an absolute piece of shit and not someone I’d want to work with…ever…and I doubt I’ll watch any of the content. But if there was no legal action taken against him it’s just another online shit flinging contest and I for one am sick of the court of public opinion and online cancellation campaigns. People in the industry clearly know what’s up more than we do, and if they see it fit to work with him and be paid for it(which is obviously what’s happening or we wouldn’t be talking about it) who are we to tell them otherwise? You all are free to live your lives however you want, but me personally, I don’t place a lot of moral significance in the type of content I jack off to. It’s made by consenting adults and if they have issues I would hope they’d address it and possibly take legal action if it was egregious enough. I’m not in a position to help them. I don’t wish them any harm, but frankly, I’m just trying to fucking get off. . I’m not trying to overthink this. I put that energy into my actual hobbies.

[deleted] "He isn't in jail and wasn't taken to court, therefore he is likely innocent"

Great argument

Hairsational I never said he's innocent, that's your assumption!

Don't just speak for the sake of speaking! Anyone who wants to take this road, please, don't make assumptions or twist my words. I explicitly stated my neutrality because I lack sufficient information about this matter, meaning I'm not pointing fingers at either party, I'm definitely not just following what majority are saying in order to please y'all.
