So, I'm asking...WHAAAAAAZZZZ UPPPPPPPPPP
I am a strong supporter of free speech. However, in this political climate, does the adult industry want to be seen rewarding the kinds of extreme content producers who are most likely to be involved in free speech cases?

For example, Max Hardcore and Extreme Associates have both won court cases in the last few years. Does X-biz want to give awards to companies or people who many in the adult industry think are "hurting" the industry?

I support free speech rights even for content that I personally find offensive, but some in the adult industry are not very open minded when it comes to content that they think is offensive.
