Interesting situation recently on the set of an Evil Angels porn shoot, where veteran actor Steve Holmes walked out after realising one of his partners Aubrey Kate in a BGG (boy-girl-girl) scene was trans.
The whole industry has turned on Holmes. Not (I suspect) because he chose not to perform with a trans, but because of that incendiary sentence — “if you hadn’t pretended to be a girl” — which Aubrey Kate wasted (sorry, waisted) no time making public.
Pretended to be a girl? Silly Holmes. You can’t say what you think out loud!
Afterwards, Holmes explains that he’d prefer to play golf than watch porn, so didn’t know who Aubrey Kate was, and didn’t check. They first met when he walked on set and saw the meat and veg on full display. I mean, put yourself in his shoes. I’d be like, umm, wut?
The Holmes/Kate scenario mirrors the tsunami of hate which engulfed August Ames after she tweeted her refusal to do a scene in December 2017 with a ‘crossover’ actor — i.e. someone who also did gay porn. Viciously cyberbullied, she was told to kill herself.
So she hung herself in a park.
While I’m sure the older and wiser Holmes would like to laugh it off and hit the links, that single un-PC tweet may have ruined his career. Because that’s the world we live in now. You remain hypervigilant because people’s rights are hierarchical, with heterosexual males at the absolute bottom.
Ladies, imagine going out with a guy and ending back at your place where, in the midst of all that fumbling, he says “Oh, by the way, this is just a decorative penis’. Umm, decorative wut? Would it be wrong to ask him/her to leave?
While you’re 100% entitled to decide who you have relations with, there’s nothing stopping some whiny bitch from tweeting about your ‘transphobia’ the next day. You cannot expect the court of popular opinion to side with you, either.
And that’s it. The new world order. And because the wowsers are everywhere, there’s no defence to their faux outrage except to carefully curate every online utterance. Or remain anonymous, like me.
Good luck.
