It's amazing how ignorant the general public is to the adult industry. - GoFuckYourself.com

Nismo · 04-27-2005, 12:00 PM

Anyone else notice how completely ignorant your friends/acquaintences are regarding this industry?

They all seem to think it's an incredibly easy business to get into.

They all seem to think all porn stars make serious bank.

They all seem to think if you own a porn site, you're rich.

They all seem to think all porn stars have aids.

I could go on...

Snake Doctor · 04-27-2005, 12:01 PM

They also tend to think that anyone in the business is promiscuous.

Nicky · 04-27-2005, 12:01 PM

ohhh soo true.....

Manowar · 04-27-2005, 12:02 PM

gotta love the people who go round in public "i own a porn site i own a porn site" when they run a tgp on free hosting. lol.

TaDoW · 04-27-2005, 12:03 PM

they all think that everyone in this business is shady as fuck ... which is only partly true!!

Furious_Male · 04-27-2005, 12:04 PM

I could give a shit what they think.

Fletch XXX · 04-27-2005, 12:05 PM

most people are ignorant of industries.

youd think people understood MUSIC INDUSTRY, but they dont.

people watch commercials all day, have they caught on to the fact YOU DONT NEED MOSTY OF THAT SHIT ON TV? nope...

consumers consume, that is all they do.

GatorB · 04-27-2005, 12:13 PM

They think CP and regular porn are one in the same.

Most newbies fall into some of the stuff you mentioned also...

I agree, to an extent. I mean, I know that I don't know much about most industrys mainly cause I do not work in them. I know I don't know much, if anything, about the music industry, or entertainment industry, etc.

But, the majority of people i run into, seem to think they know all about the adult industry.

maybe it's just because the majority of people are fucking idiots.

WebGemsHosting · 04-27-2005, 12:30 PM

Very true... Lets just leave it that way...

I spent 20 yrs in the Music Industry and the general public had no clue about that either...

Let them think what they want.. They are just consumers, they dont need to know the details about our Industry..

Right, so when I hear a news promo "Pornography bust, details at 10" then it's a CP bust that's not the new confusing the 2?

smack · 04-27-2005, 12:34 PM

they all seem to think, that because i work from home i don't really work. that irritates me the most. in reality, i usually put in days twice as long as theirs, and work 6 days a week.

Exactly, man. I hate that shit.

"you don't do shit. you just sit at home and look at porn" < I've heard that from about 5 different people. I usually respond with "yea, i just sit at home and these checks from in and I don't question it. It's like I'm the luckiest person in the world."

It's just amazing how ignorant people can be. It's like they're trying to be complete fucking morons.

In actuality, I have to actually WORK, put in time for grunt work, etc. to make money, while they just go sit at a desk and get a check every 2 weeks for the same amount every pay period.

I really fucking hate people.

Yeah I have a friend that knows what I do and he occasionly let's out the "I have a REAL job" quip. Then the next time the fucker want you to show him to how to make money. Same fucker( the guy with the REAL job ) also occasionly borrows money form me ( the guy without a REAL job ) because his "real" job isn't enough to pay the bills.

That bothers me the most. Well, it actually doesn't bother me.

alexg · 04-27-2005, 02:22 PM

they also don't know what's a tgp, se traffic, free hosted galleries etc'

fucking n00bs

BlackCrayon · 04-27-2005, 02:36 PM

eh fuck em. the more misconceptions the less ppl try and get into an already oversaturated market. i remember back in 99 i guess it was some friends told some chicks what i do, which i didn't appreciate them doing but for some reason the girls assumed the sites consisted of me naked. lol.

then there are the typical ones, after the small town got wind of what i was doing even the gas station attendants were making comments, how i should be driving a better car with the money i must be makking ect

but yes, i agree the most annoying of all are ppl who just stop by whenever they feel like and try to get you to do stuff thinking you can just work any time. "oh come on man, all you ever do is work, lets party". yeah, sure. but not right now. thats why i can pay my bills while he can't.

slapass · 04-27-2005, 04:37 PM

I know I sell porn but are we in the porn industry? IS the guy with a magazine stand on Time square in the porn industry? I now know a few photographers and I had dinner with a girl who has a solo site. Other then that I could have a power tool site for as much interaction I get with the porn industry.

Yup... that's a big problem where I live. Every time someone gets busted for KP, the newspapers talk about how they were busted for "porn"... it's kind of freaky.

yep, get this one alot. even from the g/f... she'll call from work and immediately ask me to do something for her, and I have to remind her, that just cuz I work from home doesn't mean I am just sitting here waiting for you to cal... I'm actually working, ya'know. lol
