I will be straight out and honest. I am not what you would call an active member of the Adult business community. I dabble. Nothing more, nothing less. My primary income is derived elsewhere. But, I do find the responses on this board fasinating. There are a never ending supply of colorful examples of how individuals and groups can sometimes blindly justify any means to achieve a certain end.
In this industry, it is the nature of the industry itself (porn) that is most often used as a defence mechanism. To put this in very simplistic terms, the general feeling seems to be " This is porn. Porn by it's very nature is, at best, a part of the underbelly of society. Therefore, the business tactics used to sell this product need not measure up to the same standards set for mainstream industry".
If I ever had to write another thesis, this industry would make an excellent research project. But, for now, I simply find this whole business amusing.
And as far as 'discrediting" AFF goes...anyone is fair game. At this point in time, though, it's AFF's glaringly obvious exaggerations that attracted my attention. Don't worry, the rest of you will get your turn.
