1) you couldn't be further from the truth
2) you are one of the minority
Forced sex slave labor? Really, what has this got to do with me or my company? "you can only imagine..." clearly you do too much of that already. Speculative imagination. As more movie clips are posted in this thread in future, your statement will look even more idiotic than it does already.
Expect conscience from our community? Thank the lord our community also has COMMON sense. Which evidently, is not all that common in your case.

I will say this: At the end of the day, even if there's nothing ILLEGAL going on, some of the content in TTSEA's videos is clearly nonconsensual. I said something a while back that I think put it in the best way possible -- there's something about it that just "feels wrong." And of course, that means wrong to me (and everyone else who is turned off by the content).
I don't wish any ill on this producer, unless he's hurting people (and most of us cannot know whether he is). All we know is that it sure LOOKS like he is, and that's enough to turn us off. I just join with others in saying that I will not support him, and I won't support those who defend that kind of content. The reason I posted my comments is because I suspect that other producers care about and learn from this kind of feedback. I certainly didn't expect other producers to jump into the fire. I hope none of my other favorite producers are in the same boat.
I see lots of pushback whenever members here or at TT speak up about content that "feels wrong," whether it's nonconsensual or abusive content, or foot pictures of underage celebrities, or something else that rides the line. The bottom line is that, for all that's been said about TTSEA's content, nothing's really happened, except that maybe more people have been drawn to see for themselves what all the hoopla's about.

You are so wrong, I don't think I can respond to your comments in an articulate manner and get something similar in return.

wendynpeter said:2. Your own signature says "no safewords." That in itself violates the SSC policy that our community lives by.
You bought a clip, for whatever reason it wasn't what you hoped for and then you were a little disgruntled at yourself for throwing away your confirmation mail that prevented you from getting the refund you wanted.wendynpeter said:Same here. I've been into serious BDSM for half my life...
To be fair, I should say that the company did offer money back. I had already deleted my confirmation from Clips4sale...
Possible motive 2:wendynpeter said:Here's something articulate anyway:
1. I'm pretty sure I can't be wrong about my own feelings.
2. Your own signature says "no safewords." That in itself violates the SSC policy that our community lives by.
I'm not off base, you just don't like my assessment of your content (any more than I like your content). That's fine -- I've never once asked you not to do what you're doing. I've only expressed my views about it. So do us all a favor and dispense with the "I'm so indignant I can't type" drama. You know what you're doing and you know who it appeals to.

MÿTicklingStudios said:I would like to add some specualtion Peter, and I would like to put forward some possible motives for you making a song and dance about something where the majority of people do not share your views on the issue you're making comments on.
Possible motive 1:
You bought a clip, for whatever reason it wasn't what you hoped for and then you were a little disgruntled at yourself for throwing away your confirmation mail that prevented you from getting the refund you wanted.
Possible motive 2:
I would suggest that you indeed could be wrong about your own feelings. I would also suggest that being a serious BDSM fetishist, you have potentially got inner conflicts whereby the morals that you were brought up contradict with your comfortable plataeu of enjoyment in being a BDSM lover and perhaps praticing BDSM for half of your life. You have probably gone through much of your life feeling guilty and asking yourself inner questions about your own and your societies acceptance of your fetish and the feelings that motivate them. You have probably gained a little comfort when you found like minded people who shared the feelings you have for BDSM. But some how, perhaps this didn't bridge the gap inside and your inner questions remain. You probably also tried justify to yourself that your fetish is normal and there is nothing wrong. Supporting this angle by your SSC policy. However, the fundamental urge which grabs your appeal for BDSM still troubles you. By targeting those who you have decided to percieve as wrong, you can some how differentiate yourself from others which is fueled by seeking comfort in who you are.
This is all merely specualtion on my part of course. Its just what I see in you and the way you respond to posts.

And why, oh why, Peter, are you sooooo interested in finding out which country this might be?
... the argument here is the same as the one over spanking your kids. Most people say that it's okay to spank your kids. But then come the few who say you can't hit a child since that's abuse, and they'll phone the police the moment they see a mother, or heavens forbid, a father (a man), hit a child in a mall.
tkl-pen said:My God, Peter, I wish I could meet you one day. You and I could have some fascinating and lengthy discussions. We are both articulate, well-informed and intelligent...
Just a small note, Peter, from someone who is also pretty well involved in BDSM.wendynpeter said:2. I'll ignore the ridciculous armchair psychology and just say that SSC (safe, sane and consensual) is not MY policy, it is the accepted policy of the BDSM community as a whole. Bondage and tickling is a BDSM activity. I'm not the least bit conflicted. I know right from wrong within the parameters of the sexual activities in which I very proudly participate. That's WHY I have a problem with some of TTSEA's content.
If that's not what you're claiming then you might want to rephrase, because honestly that's certainly what you appear to be claiming in almost every message I've seen from you on these threads.I'm not claiming that TTSEA is exploiting anyone, because I don't know anything other that what I have seen.
Redmage said:As for the language, I've seen as bad and worse in many consensual rape-play scenes. If a bottom enters a scene knowing that there will be no safeword, then it can only be because they're willing to do that. I have enough respect for their judgment as adults to leave it at that.
wendynpeter said:When someone is clearing wanting out of a scene, arguing that they consented to do the scene (for money or not) doesn't get you anywhere. The bottom line is still that if, in the middle of any scene, someone safewords, the scene is over. Period. Having a "no safeword" policy is dangerous at worst and irresponsible at best, and can result in really bad scenes (or worse).
EVEN IF someone consents to something, the person in control nevertheless has a duty to refrain from doing anything that person doesn't want in the moment.
The are people in the BDSM circles who argue that once a woman agrees to something, it's all on her, and of course that's horseshit. The top has a duty to be responsible regardless of what someone else is willing to do.
See above about intact faculties. That's not quite what we're talking about here.Some bottoms are so damaged and want so badly to be loved that they will allow a top to hurt them (sometimes severely) on the hope that the top will form an attachment. If a top knows this (and most do), it is certainly his or her moral duty to refrain from taking advantage of the bottom's state of mind or special circumstance. Right?
