SexLikeReal Cancels Jimmy Lifestyles Channel

vrpicasso

parsec it makes sense for the best performers to also be good at directing (just like in Hollywood) and they also have a sympathetic attitude to the talent and instant rapport. Lacy is one of the best in VR and has a strong enough personality to control a set. Having big names behind the camera would also be a good PR move, just need to make sure they get the technical side of VR right. You could turn this whole drama into something positive.

vrpicasso I agree with this statement. I don't know if Lacy would be a good director or not but she is one of the best actors in VR so it seems like she knows what we are looking for.
@doublevr is would be awesome if this whole thing turned into finding a great director. The scene Breakfast is Bed is said to be directed by Leana Lovings. I know it doesn't have the biggest numbers but I personally loved how it was made. It was a little different than other scenes, in a good way.
Good Luck in finding an awesome director in the future.

I’m pleased this decision has been made. I suppose I now have a decision to make whether I continue to support the site going forward.

doublevr

petermc All I wanted is to make informed decision. It's got the hell informed one.

[deleted]

doublevr If that actually is the main reason, I can translate it differently but whatever, let's move one 🤷‍♂️

doublevr

[deleted] there was a ton of personal communication with performers and related people. I really appreciated how the whole team got involved and connected figuring things out.

It's totally for everyone's better.

petermc

doublevr Well, I suppose the correct decision was made in the end, however we got there. Hopefully lessons learned all round and I can go back to discussing trivial porn things rather than serious stuff like this. That wasn’t fun.

I'm really glad this has turned out like this, the community has shown it's self to be concerned with the safety and wellbeing of the actresses and also for the long term future of SLR. The leadership of SLR has listened and responded appropriately. I was worried about where things were going but I definitely feel reassured now and look forward to what is coming in the future. I will continue to subscribe.

doublevr

chanser we all people.

It's the first time we have got ourselves in situation like this and it was all new. The only thing I'd wish looking backwards is to have more respectful communication between opposing sides.

Agressive folks was the major thing that triggered my resistance as it seemed like some just want to propell it.

fuccaneer

Well, this has been a roller coaster.

Though it may not have seemed like it at the time, it appears that @doublevr and the SLR team kept an open mind through this entire process. They didn't rush to judgment and were willing to consider evidence. Commendable.

chanser

doublevr I totally agree. I made my comment in a respectful way and was able to voice my objection without personal attacks. I believe this is how things should be done. I understand why you doubled down, and yes it did get tense, but you have considered the arguments and made the right decision. I certainly applaud this and also the fact you did not make a knee jerk reaction is commendable. I hope we can now all get back to enjoying the positives here.

parsec

doublevr she mentions it in her comment on the closed thread. Perhaps reach out?

doublevr

parsec wasn't obvious for me from that post

Avakian

doublevr It's nice to see that you where able to manage to get out of this.
And after all the outrage, it's the best outcome for SLR.

phyuggene

Avakian Not sure it's the best outcome for SLR because their name has now been dragged through the mud, but certainly the right decision was made in the end. Thank you @doublevr

rustynailinabucket9

doublevr She said:
"Which is extra insulting when you have performers like myself that has personally reached out about wanting to direct on your sets"
Which definitely sounds like she would have liked to direct. Why not offer a shot now? She's been in a lot of VR scenes and has experience and probably knows it limitations.

wongry

Good call, @doublevr.
I think this makes a much clearer, stronger, and respectful path forward for SLR in 2024. It is the right thing to do!
I hope that talent in the industry will recognize the new direction and want to make great things here!

Obviously not a guy to be affiliated with. Goodjob SLR

doublevr I appreciate the prompt decision in this matter and will consider re-subscribing in the future. However, I'm curious what steps are being taken to ensure this doesn't happen again, or if it were to happen to a channel already on the platform? I understand this puts SLR into a policing position, but I don't want to consume content created unethically, nor if any performer is doing something against their will.

Again, I appreciate the decisive action by SLR. Just want to make sure something like this cannot happen again. Consent is sexy.

Runfastdie the events that stirred up this pot happened in 2019. It was the fact that Jimmy was being re-platformed after all the controversy from those reports that caused such a strong reaction from customers and female talent alike. See this post from Alex Coal.

I’m not a close follower of the industry, but JimmyGate was the main thing I can remember like this. I sorta recall Jay Rock as well years ago. But I think it’s pretty controlled on sets in general these days.

Wankz reformed with rules about consumption on set, ensuring a safety representative oversees shoots, etc.

Stills By Alan is another director who was blacklisted for similar predatory behavior.
