So, I have been bitching about MyFreeCams extensively for about a year. And honestly, I shouldn’t have put up with it this long, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do to make sure bills are paid.
Well, I recently found out about a month ago that 2 REALLY famous porn stars started working on the site…. and that would be the exact time my income went from “crap, I can barely cover my bills” to “crap, I can barely cover A bill”. WTF were they thinking? It just goes to further the proof that the owners are dicks who care absolutely nothing about the amateur industry that they’ve built their name upon.
So, I am currently job hunting full time to make sure I have a job lined up by mid next week. I’m also looking to take on any web design projects I can to make sure I can pay bills @ the end of the month. (Spread the word, will ya?)
But, this has spawned a HUGE debacle on my facebook. I was bitching about the obvious bullshit that the owners of MFC are attempting to pull, and their blatant screwing of us models who’ve stuck with them since they barely had 100 models on the entire roster. A topic of ethics in the porn industry then arose. There is a guy I used to know that I had added on there.
He pretty much said that the porn industry will never have any real ethics and mostly due to the fact that no one cares. Which is bullshit. But what the fuck ever.
The part that pissed me off is that he doesn’t think we’re ‘important’ enough for anyone to pay attention to regulations, ethics and that we’re all unethical bastards that are here to make a quick buck. ENTIRELY UN-FUCKING-TRUE. In fact, I know more ethical people in the industry than unethical for the simple fact that we outcast anyone who is purposely screwing the industry. Anyone who’s out ‘to make a buck’ and nothing else pretty much gets an ear lashing and is cast aside. We don’t want people like that around us, ever. It’s hard enough getting the people of this country to listen to us without douchebags around. Self-regulation. And we didn’t even have to have the government step in and tell us we HAD to do it a certain way. Holy shit!
This all set me off on quite the tantrum and still has me rather irked, being 2 hours after the original comments were made.
To top it off, I found out that Astroglide’s ‘Natural Lube’ in fact contains Methylparaben which is a SYNTHETICALLY created preservative. It has been scientifically proven to cause breast cancer, serious allergic reactions and increased aging if you put it on your skin and go into the sun (it’s in a lot of lotions and the like). It also has some pretty serious estrogenic side effects, both expediting and slowing periods & menopause. I threw a shit fit when I found this out. I am very picky about what I’ll stick in my vagina because let’s face it, it’s the money maker in this relationship. I have to take care of it. Period. So, I sent an extremely negative email to Astroglide demanding my money back for purchasing their fake natural lube and explained to them the side effects of methyparabens (which I’m sure they are quite aware of, just ignore). Did you know that most of the rest of the world has BANNED glycerines & parabens in products that can cause such side effects? The only way that mehtylparaben ISN’T harmful is if you ingest it or take it via IP Injection to help with fluid loss when needing to replenish blood supplies. That’s It. WTF people? How in the hell does one of the most highly technological countries in the world let something so OBVIOUSLY bad for you, still exist in products? It makes absolutely no sense to me. And it’s not like ‘fast food’ bad for you… something we all know about. So few people know about this stuff existing in their lotions, lube, hair gel, etc. AWARENESS NOW!
So, that’s been my day in a nutshell: Ignorant guys from old work places, dickhead companies out to screw you over and make you sick just to save a buck, and me deleting my myspace pages. Oh ya, btw, I deleted my myspace pages.
