I thought the link at the bottom to the exact article those words were from would clue you in as to if those were my words or not.
But feel free to jump on me next time you assume and then fail to apologize when it is pointed out you were mistaken.
Totally my fault, I see that now. :rolleyes:
A bunch of text you could’ve very well wrote followed by “read more” and then a link does not automatically mean you didn’t write it, especially considering I didn’t read your link.
And it’s utterly confusing why you would post two links if you don’t have an opinion either way (which I don’t believe). :dubious: If you don’t like porn that’s fine, I don’t really care, but don’t play a shell game of what you believe by quoting something you don’t agree with (without proper attribution) and then saying you don’t care either way.
I was just providing information to answer the poster question. I posted one which supported the claim porn workers suffer physical damage and one which refuted it.
Also, I don’t care what you believe. Why is it impossible to believe someone wouldn’t care either way about porn? It’s there, people do it, people watch it. Some are damaged by it, some are not. None of my business, I don’t care about mainstream porn. I do have opinions abut child porn though. Care to assume what that may be, you would probably be right this time.
I properly attributed it by posting THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. It’s not my fault you jumped to the wrong conclusions about authorship without further investigation a simple clicking and reviewing of the link would have provided. That’s your fault
I see what you did there.

rogerbox, it was perfectly clear in April R’s posts that she was quoting from other sources. They were within quote tags, and had the link below. If you don’t bother to look at the links themselves, that’s your own fault. If you want to take issue with the information itself, go ahead. There’s no call to accuse her of deception.

Take a look at that first one again real close.
I conceded that. However, I did post the link to the exact article. Plus it was obvious that i copy and pasted that first post if one actually read it in it’s entirety, since I missed the “Advertisement” part in the middle, which I failed to remove before the edit time limit was up. Anyone with the slightest skill in observation would have seen that blatant mistake on my part and realized it was copy and pasted from somewhere else, despite my failure to put it in quotation marks. Now the moderator has spoken and it’s over.
It still doesn’t justify your accusations of deception.
Yes. This back and forth is hijacking the thread. Let’s get back to the subject of the OP.
. . . and it cannot ever be un-seen.
Even if porn actresses get injured while performing, I cannot justify the outrage of some groups.
The type of work we do always affects us in one way or another. Welders get some vision problems no matter how good eye protection they use. Construction workers will have knee and back pains. Office workers get carpal tunnel syndrome.
Why not get outraged about all these much more common (and if you ask me, more dilapidating) work related injuries, but get your panties in a twist over some porn actresses chaffed pussy?
And there’s no call for you to get in the middle of it, seeing as accusing someone of deception is not against the rules. Especially since you refuse to punish April R. for posting a bunch of links without providing her own content.
Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if she just posted links. It is inherently deceptive to post links that you don’t agree with without making it clear that you don’t believe in them. The assumption is that you believe what you post. And, again, I’m not breaking any rules by pointing that out.
Moderator Note
Actually, you are. If you have a disagreement with my moderation, the correct course is to open a thread in ATMB, not to dispute it or argue about the rules in the thread in question. You’ve been here plenty long enough to know this. No warning issued, but stop continuing the hijack now.

What the hell is on your schedule that makes you SUCH a busy-ass-body?
I can see a point when it determines ones safety of injury. However they opening know all issues from the job. Also legally in sure there is a contract or process with put the production company non liable of any injury.

To everyone else, let’s keep to the subject of the OP. Further off-topic responses, particularly personal remarks about other posters or discussion of moderation, may receive an official warning.
The study mentioned early actually deals with the content of porn, that study was not looking for what happened to the performers. (As pointed before by other posters, it is not really what most people look in porn, in other words, not really as representative, niche fetishes point to fewer women involved).
A more recent study points out that there is not much to the “damage goods” point.
You mean that the performers are acting, and just pretending to experience brutality and humiliation? Next you’ll try to tell me that no one actually gets shot during an action movie.
Plenty of them aren’t even doing that. They’re just having sex.
The way you say it, it sounds as if every single welder gets vision problems from work: they don’t. As if every construction worker gets knee and back pains from work: they don’t. As if every single office worker gets carpal tunnel syndrome: we don’t.
I’m sure there’s porn actors who get physically hurt at work, but I’m also sure there’s preventative measures that can be put in place - same as in any other job. The way many US laws are written, with size limits to company duties, maybe a small porn producing company there does not need to have personnel dedicated to preventing injuries; firms based in Western Europe do, because our safety laws do not account for company size (while not in porn, I’m a company of one and I do have to have a safety officer; being a company of one, it’s someone from my work insurance company; I’m required to have a medical checkup and a prevention talk every year).
