I wonder what someone from mainstream business would think.... - GoFuckYourself.com

LadyMischief · 09-23-2007, 11:11 AM

If they stumbled on GFY and saw how the industry "behaves" itself. With all the bs and drama going on right now, it seems a lot more like a kindergarten playground than a place to do business. I think we'd pretty much be a laughingstock.... sad that we will all be judged based on those with the biggest mouths (who are also generally the least indicitive of what we are REALLY like as an industry, but they are the only real public face we have). Absolutely shameful.

Bring the business back, folks. Nobody makes money from pissing.

what would they think? they would probably think

"no wonder a multi-billion dollar industry can't organize to defend itself against any mindless, retarded legislation that comes down the pike"

or... they might think

"well, obviously every negative stereotype about pornographers is true... they clearly act like retarded idiots, have no sense of professionalism and don't really act like business people at all... so obviously they need to be policed... in fact, i wonder which one of these assholes spammed me with CP today"

I would guess 99% of the mainstream people think like the 2nd quote you said...

For some reason you think the smut business is NOT the laughing stock already?
People who do real business out there (mainstream) do not respect anyone in this so-called business. With the exception of maybe Hef.
In most people's mind, working in porn is the equivalent of being a heroin addict.

Pretty much, and the golden opportunity that we have to help try to improve that image gets pissed into the wind. Sad sad sad sad.

good observation

tony286 · 09-23-2007, 01:44 PM

You are right but in reality GFY hasnt been a true business board in alooooong time.

Violetta · 09-23-2007, 02:06 PM

agree... Im ashamed

BobG · 09-23-2007, 02:07 PM

I wonder what baseball players think about hockey.

Antonio · 09-23-2007, 02:13 PM

they would think "wow, you can say fuck on the Internets???"

mattz · 09-23-2007, 02:14 PM

Yeah, that would be like "wow, what a bunch of idiots"

gfy is nothing but a place for teenagers to come and bitch and act like they make a decent living

mattz · 09-23-2007, 02:15 PM

gfy should really charge money for a username - like 100 bucks, that would knock out half the idiots here

Jace · 09-23-2007, 02:17 PM

any idiot that stumbles upon this board and thinks it is any different than the 20,000 other forums out there were 40 year olds act like complete idiots, is, well, an idiot themselves

been to any large political boards lately? how about some religious forums? i see worse shit on religious forums sometimes than gfy

forums bring out the worst in people, it doesn't matter who you are or what industry you are in

No doubt but it depends on the forum and type.In theory a business forum shouldnt have all the bullshit thats on here but this isnt a business forum hasnt been for a long time.I belong to a bunch of mainstream photography and video forums.They run a tight ship no bullshit, its all on topic or the post is deleted.If you post something in the wrong area its moved very quickly. If you bump your gone. On one of them, you have to use your real name and if they find out you lied your gone.

tony286 · 09-23-2007, 03:22 PM

another thought why this doesnt happen on the mainstream boards I go to.There are mods on them at least 18 hrs a day.Like today this is all beyond fucking craziness.

notoldschool · 09-23-2007, 03:45 PM

GFY = small portion of adult industry. I doubt anyone from mainstream gives two shits what people on this board say. I use it mostly for entertainment purposes.

I go on there to find hookups. WAY less work than tapping my foot inside public bathrooms.

NinjaSteve · 09-23-2007, 04:01 PM

I think they'd be jealous because here people voice their opinions and say what they want without fear of being fired.

shekinah · 09-23-2007, 04:10 PM

I think they'll understand because some mainstream companies do porn as well.

JayCabi · 09-23-2007, 04:11 PM

I'm from Mainstream and i tell you what, The Porn industry polices itself far better than mainstream site owners...

So many scammers! and If you call them out no one seems to give a shit..
