News The porn tragedy Canadian media didn’t cover - GoFuckYourself.com

Interesting read.

Quote:

August Ames was a star, a Canadian army brat who grew up in Petawawa, Ont., and left home five years ago for California, where she found her calling and millions of fans found her. But neither The Globe and Mail nor many other large Canadian news outlets ever covered her – not even after she died by suicide in December, 2017, at age 23 – and when Jon Ronson hears that, he becomes agitated.

Ames had more than one million followers on Instagram and 670,000 fans on Twitter. Her videos, Ronson says, have been viewed more than 460 million times on one website alone. That site? The Montreal-based PornHub.com, which offers free streaming pornography. “Porn is a massive part of almost everybody’s lives,” Ronson claims, on the line from his home in New York. “There’s a kind of hypocrisy among the mainstream,” to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Porn is part of the answer to disctrac us from bad news, when porn it is bad news instead of entertainment people don't pay attention to it.

porn is slowly starting to become more mainstream and less vilified, which is a positive step. To expect admiration and respect from the masses publicly overnight is ridiculous.

This is false outrage and an exploitation article, nothing more. If they wanted to talk about something that is real they would talk about this in relation to depression specifically, not whether she worked in porn or not.

Seeing porn go mainstream in my lifetime has been inspiring but it does seem most of the porn news stories out there are bad news, like suicides, rape/abuse alligation, illegal porn, revenge porn, etc.

When I had my porn related court case news coverage, 18 years ago, the media were very supportive. I gave them tons of documentation proving my case in advance of the story breaking so I think that helped.

I am happy that at least some mainstream porn news coverage is positive and that's a start at least
