Trans Studios disappeared?

doublevr There will be flat trans cyber coming soon

flat trans cyber? what is that?

jommy corrected

doublevr

Ah, it's a shame though cos there's already millions of flat trans porn videos out there and a real lack of VR stuff, at least here on SLR

jommy not just here, there’s a lack of it in general especially with the bigger US stars.

Yeah I agree

If I had a massive dong i'd buy myself a VR camera and go visit Colombia and film my own trans content, some of those girls streaming on chaturbate/stripchat are 10/10 naturals, no fake boobs/lips/ass that is common in trans porn

Sorry guys - if we get better service from SLR we'll consider returning if it makes economic sense but at the moment it doesn't, and we've asked for years for changes.

I'd be happy to discuss 'fun script' support and what's needed if anyone wanted to at admin@grooby.com and we can see how easy it is to implement.

bummer.

RIP, not surprised trans studios are leaving when the website actively hides the genre

BML2000 I sincerely doubt that will ever happen. They have been giving the same boiler plate BS "it's on our to do list" replies for years and they have done diddly squat to address the situation.

It's hard to believe the intention was to make it easy to find and I also have the compilations issue but only in DeoVR I can't not see them.

SLR Don't you have contract agreements for an exit plan for studios? There should have been notification and a delay of the exits of VR Videos from GroobyVR and TransVR lasting an appropriate amount of time. Minimum 3 weeks perhaps.

Treating the Niche like third rate, insignificant, means you are treating subscribers as third rate.

The Transgender content was absolutely a factor in my current one year subscription.

I mean, you are a business. Why not links to Enter Transgender and Enter Gay on the interface of DeoVR? It's so perplexing, frustrating, puzzling.

Because there are some people who are so sensitive to anything not within their bubble of acceptable that even the word "Trans" or "Gay" triggers them.
Then there are others who suffer unfortunate shame in their fetish tastes and will do anything they can to hide and/or deny. I'm sure post-orgasm shame has caused at least some requests to hide the "temptation" of penii.
Combine those with the residual distaste from previous times and/or more recent culture war blowback on alternate genders and sexuality results in a return to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" or the debatable "What you do in your bedroom is your business. I just don't want to know about it."

As for why the Trans/Gay sections are still hot messes years later: Gay and Trans are niches, they are not SLR's primary audience. There is a sound argument that there was little chance of recoup of any investment of resources because the audience was smaller. I can't guess the exact metrics they use to tie subscription dollars with Trans/Gay view minutes, but there is probably enough of a correlation to make the decision to invest resources in other places (PT, Drive, production, new website design, etc).

I for one am collecting my favorite Trans scenes and holding them in anticipation of SLR Drive subscription and the glory of scripted passthrough Trans action.

fuccaneer The promise of getting free AI scripts was a huge factor in my subscription over other sites. It took years, then a few months later all the scenes are gone.

fuccaneer As for why the Trans/Gay sections are still hot messes years later: [..]

A big reason is surely the unfortunate design SLR's platform where straight, gay, trans, etc, content is all segregated. There probably wasn't much incentive to fix it due to the reasons you pointed out. Studios like Grooby will be right back once SLR fixes it I bet.

Hairsational Do they want them back? I do but not fixing the site for several years seems deliberate.

bbrawl Except for the AI scripts, which I wasn't aware about since I do not use them, I think not a single resource was wasted on that section in the past. It seems that on the new website at least the very basic functions are now working but this alone will not do the trick as long as nothing changes in DeoVR.

fuccaneer There is no investment needed on their side. Studios put their content here to a) make some extra income and b) hope people will like it enough to want the latest content and buy direct. It should be a win-win, as it is with the countless other big VOD (non-VR) sites who take a percentage of the sales.

SLR refused to engage even in discussions on this - even when offered to meet with them at AVN last month to see if we can work out a favorable discussion. I've been in business successful doing content for 29 years, and in my view, it doens't matter if the amount of potential customers is smaller than other niches, if there is the opportunity to make some income, at a minimum investment and keep customers happy (and in your ecosystem so probably buying more) then you do it.

They don't see to want trans content here, it maybe because of the owners own tastes or culture, but we don't need to be here either for the little extra cream, if they're not going to work well with us.
