I think that you are perhaps a bit sensitive for GFY, maybe for most businesses and organizations for that matter.
The fact is GFY is a microcasim of the business world in general, with the exception that GFY strips away the much of the pretense and social posturing. You have the opportunity to see dirty industry secrets actually revealed and discussed in a pragmatic fashion. In addition, you can actually discuss them with many of the larger online industry players.
The discussion of these industry secrets are both refreshing and enlightening and should be taken as an opportunity to learn how the largest people operate.
Business ethics are often a contradiction in terms.
If you believe the violation of any moral/ethical boundaries solely b/c their occupation is of an adult nature, you are sorely mistaken. Personal ethical boundaries often clash with acceptable industry guidelines--lawyers, doctors and even priests deal with these things on a fucking daily basis. Is the adult industry so special and so pure that no ethical conflicts should exist? Perhaps that is the ironic point that many were trying to make.
The fact is you may be comparing your ethical framework to an industry that simply doesn?t hold your system as boundaries. Sorry to break it to you, but your situation is not unique.
Most industries don?t give a fuck about you or anyone?s personal ethical boundaries, they prey upon those they perceive as weak and use their bones as toothpicks. They only care about things that will maximize their profits in the long-run. In the long-run as the joke often goes, individuals will all be dead.
Dead and buried, along with their personal ethical systems.
Much like an analyst at Merril Lynch or any other big investment house who refused to tow the industry line and promote the chosen pig of the day. Or the Enron accountant who blew the whistle or the FBI woman who did the same--- tobacco companies, alcohol, firearms, military, defense contractors, food companies, grocery stories, churches ad nausea. Morality?
The minute a business or organization forms with more than two people you are bound to have comprimise.
I bore of this incessant whining about fairness, not to single you out in particular, perhaps I?ve reached my own breaking point.
I see why [Labret] has gone sane.
I simply reject all your ?views."
