When it comes to guys who mostly/only work in hetero porn for years but vaguely attach to queerness (Michael Vegas, TJ Cummings, Nacho Vidal, Alex Jones and so on) it’s always the same routine: vagueness and contradictions when explaining their dimensions, refusing to ever directly claim that they’re into their sex at all or have had a same-sex relationship, claiming that they’re strictly gay4pay, claiming they used to be into queer shit but aren’t any longer, using some gay adjacent-ness to make money once the hetero money/mainstream straight porn work slows. While on the flip side, tons of dudes who mostly/only do gay/queer porn constantly talk about “loving pussy”, talk about how “bi” or “straight” they are, constantly hype up their sex with chicks, talk about having girlfriends or wives and so on.
I understand that the industry is still full of male homophobia and internalized phobias and that a lot of these people deal with mental health struggles or fluidity or contradictions or hyper-sexuality or not understanding their place in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. But I don’t want to hear about anyone being “brave” or about “progress” when these dudes still constantly contribute to stuff like double standards, using “queers” as a stepping stone, hetero privilege, queer insecurities, homo inferiority. That is ultimately the real point I’m making.
