Victim of Cyberbullying Pornstar August Ames Commits Suicide After Being Accused of Being Homophobic
| It's sad for sure. She said something dumb very publicly, sure, but there were a number of people who went way way too far. By all means talk to her and be like "yo gay/bi/gay for pay performers take the same tests we do, it's not that much higher of a risk but hey your body your choice fam", but to go so far as to tell her to eat a cyanide pill like Jaxton fucking Wheeler did (when she'd publicly posted about her depression too, what a piece of shit, man) is way overboard. Ultimately, if she doesn't want to fuck someone, she doesn't have to fuck them. That's how consent works, and the reason for her lack of consent isn't relevant at all. She didn't deserve to die for exercising her right to choose who puts their dick in her, and while suicide seems like a drastic response to online hate... for someone who's already struggling with their mental health? That must have been crushing. I honestly feel bad for her, and I'm pissed off to high fuck with everyone who thought telling her to kill herself over "I don't wanna fuck this specific person because I'm worried about HIV" was in any way appropriate. |
SigmaRhoIota said: Ok, well let me revise what I said then since you clearly got me: " Ironic thing is, August is Bi-sexual herself. Always nice to see some form of intellect displayed. Certainly enough to prove that complete trolls haven't totally trashed all possibility of intellectual conversation. Hats off to you. |
 |
As you'ed imagine not many companies want to hire pornstars because they're pornstars and I highly doubt miss fucks for a living had a bachelor degree in anything. And even if she did "wank material for middle aged men and teen boys" Doesn't look good on a resume. Also there's stalkers and stds. |

iorn said: NekO_RelliK said: yes, it's totally gay of her to have a husband. please learn to read. The current industry regulations (at least in the us) require they get tested every 14 days. In fact I believe this is even the case for strippers (at least in full nude clubs) because infections can spread via the pole. Anyway I agree with those saying that if she didn't want to have sex with him for any reason she should of just politely declined the shoot instead of publicly bitching about him fucking men. It would of saved her some grief. To be fair...The gun she decided to deep throat did the same thing. Just in a different way. Also she's a 23 year old pornstar how much restraint did you expect someone who already screwed over their future to have? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_Stallone#1970%E2%80%931971:_The_Party_at_Kitty_and_Stud's_and_Score |

| That's actually a cold way to go. It would have been better if she kept her homophobic opinions to herself though, then she wouldn't have received so much backlash (even though that's not excused either). She was so young too, tragic. iorn said: Well, most porn stars work under aliases so it doesn't affect their work and family lives off camera.

| That sucks. I don't think cyberbullying could ever get me to commit suicide though. As long as people aren't making up horrific lies about me like this person is a pedophile, I think I could ignore anything said about me. Just don't read what people say. Pretty simple. If you do, try to not let it bother you. |

Is not wanting to have sex with other races racist? Granted, I did 't read the entire thing, but I don't think that would be racist. It all depends if you're attracted to someone or not. Though, you could argue theres a difference here. |

And even if she did "wank material for middle aged men and teen boys" Doesn't look good on a resume. Also there's stalkers and stds. Like I said before going from one film type to another would not be that big of deal considering that most films now days contain nudity. Even if she doesn't start out doing the most well known movies she could work her way up or even just put enough films under her belt that she could simply neglect to put porn on future applications. As said before porn stars get tested every 2 weeks for an entire panel of std's as even hiv/aids shows in that short of time. Surely one can go without doing a movie for that amount of time or longer in order to provide proof of not being infected. SigmaRhoIota said: I know it's a foreign concept to you, but I'm sure you're capable of displaying it yourself.....when you're done being triggered like a snowflake with nomenclatures. all I did was correct a mistake, and try to remain civil despite a backlash. If that is being "triggered" or "special" in anyway then thank you for pointing out that having inelegance beyond that of a paramecium as well as maturity is automatically the worst thing ever. However more people should try it, as it does bring about a slight feeling of how screwed up the world really is. |

Also you're overlooking she never said anything about sexuality. A lot of people that do gay porn are straight. |

| @traed No, smh. I say this because she said it. You could easily just read into the case or just the OP itself if you don't want to be bothered. I'm not saying she should be forced to have sex but I'm glad you know what rape is. I don't know if porn stars are signed into contracts or not, but that's besides the point. I'm not questioning her decision, but her reasoning/intent. Sure, you don't have to sleep with anyone but she's not refusing him on the basis of STDs but sexuality. It's still counts as a level of intolerence towards gay people. She didn't not sleep with him 'cause he possibly had STDs but because he's gay. Even if she didn't want to sex with him because he was gay, I have no problem with that, really. To each their own and it's common knowledge not everyone is pro LGBT. I'm js it's still homophobic regardless of how you want to frame it. But that's ok bc its her opinion and she shouldn't be slandered for it. |

| @Exhalant She didn't say anything about it before because 1) Gay pornstars have a higher risk for STDs and 2) They don't get tested as often or as thoroughly. I really struggle to see how anything she said was wrong or homophobic. I guess people just like to get offended by facts. |

So, that's ok too.Exhalant said: And yes, she surely mentioned she didn't sleep with crossovers or gay pornstars. So, yes, she said it. I'm not pulling this out of thin air smh. If she never mentioned his sexuality (as a sole reason for refusal), it wouldn't be a problem. lol what? Are you srs rn? I never labelled her opinions as wrong or anything. Just that because they were homophobic people reacted so strongly against it.

iLolicon said: Exhalant said: I'm calling it homophobic because she did not want to work with him solely on the basis that he's gay. If you don't want to call it homophobia, it's definitely a level of intolerance towards gay people. "Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality." s. Why does it even matter if she is homophobic or not? Even if she did dislike or publicly criticize homosexuals it is well within her rights to do so. There's no need to try to justify it, it isn't a crime to have negative attitudes or feelings towards a particular group of people, it's common personal bias which everyone has towards certain different groups of people whether they admit it or not. The only real issue is that she killed herself, not her views on homosexuality. Yes no one else can be blamed for her decision to kill herself and it was her own choice to react like that, but the pro-LGBT sns users who harassed her are still assholes for pushing her in that direction. If you put yourself out there you are also agreeing to the right that people are going to agree/disagree with things you say and some haters will go very far to insult you on the internet. How far did this bullying actually go? I don't read hate comments. I really never gave two shits. Actually, haters raise my ego because I know that means I am in their heads. Its wrong to bully people and I am not excusing assholes, but she did put herself out there. Its a sad outcome, but cyberbullying has never phased me. The only way it might phase me is if someone created a horrible lie about me and started a "he's a pedophile" lie about me because that would be a lie and would be very very very bad. |

| While the internet harassed a porn star for stating she didn't want to work with gay/bi men, there are thousands of gay and bi men being tortured, killed, or denied fundamental rights in some parts of the world for being born with the "wrong" orientation. I honestly don't care if August Ames' ranty Twitter comments were homophobic or not. At worst they were dumb and poorly written from not conveying her intentions clearly. Instead of nitpicking those comments, I'm saving my outrage for actual crimes and atrocities performed by those who actually do not see bi or gay men as human beings legally, biologically, or reasonably. That is far more morally dangerous and inexcusable than badly worded Tweets that hurt feelings and polite decorum. Still, I hope August Ames has found peace. I can't imagine how much pain she was living with, but hopefully she is free of it now. |
NekO_RelliK said: iorn said: As you'ed imagine not many companies want to hire pornstars because they're pornstars and I highly doubt miss fucks for a living had a bachelor degree in anything. And even if she did "wank material for middle aged men and teen boys" Doesn't look good on a resume. Also there's stalkers and stds. Like I said before going from one film type to another would not be that big of deal considering that most films now days contain nudity. Even if she doesn't start out doing the most well known movies she could work her way up or even just put enough films under her belt that she could simply neglect to put porn on future applications. As said before porn stars get tested every 2 weeks for an entire panel of std's as even hiv/aids shows in that short of time. Surely one can go without doing a movie for that amount of time or longer in order to provide proof of not being infected. Going from fashion design to game design aren't two entirely different fields at all. Besides not like it matters since she's dead... |

| Her death is sad, no one should be bullied to death. What's funny though is how hypocritical all her followers are and are trying to bully everyone that said shit to her. Her sister said, "We could all use this as an example to keep our opinions to ourselves." This is funny because if Ames had simply did that she wouldn't have been attacked in the first place. If Ames' refusal had caused the actor she refused to work with to commit suicide, this would be a completely different story. That guy could have lost a lot of potential work thanks to her tweet. Hell, we don't even know if that gay porn actor actually has sex with men in his private life. Basically the main issue is that her tweet could have caused a lot of men that do both gay and straight porn could potentially start losing out on income because a lot of women feel inspired by Ames' tweet and will start to refuse working with them. If she had said, "I refuse to work with black men because they have a higher rate of HIV," how well do you think that would have gone for her? I respect the right for her to refuse to work with anyone she doesn't want to, but if people consider the reason to be stupid, people are always going to call her out on it. |
| The problem is being on social media too much. It has been proven to actually cause depression. And people who are more vulnerable to it, actually struggle to pull away from social media more mostly because they need other people so badly to accept them. And you can say the internet isn't for that, but it can be. That is how people are radicalized so easily on the internet. Lots of conformation bias conflating things. Disconnect of human issues. |

There is something quite hilarious about conservatives complaining about harassment, given how much you spend arguing gays are "not normal" and other awful stuff on the Internet and outside of it. Then when people point out what you do can be harmful to some LGBT, you go on about "my free speech". |
| Wow thats pretty dark and only proves once more that SJW are complete cancer. There was nothing homophobic about her comments but people just like to force their bullshit on people. Poor girl, I appreciated her performances. |

| Well nothing new here. Sjw's are known bullies by now. They bully people who disagree with them in anything in general, they bully companies, authors, professors, porn-stars, creators etc etc etc. Some people know not to give a shit like the US president for example that shows them the finger and moves along but some have issues and can't take it like this woman. I won't say it's their fault because adults are responsible for their actions including this woman but their bullying is actually worse than normal bullying because they do it while taking a place of some supposed moral superiority instead of simply attempt of showing dislike. They aren't just people that don't like you and tell you to drop dead and go fuck yourself. They are people that say so while claiming you are some bigot racist homophone or whatever trying to pretend they are some good guys while you are horrible despite their horrible actions. At least the bully stealing your lunch money at school doesn't pretend he is saving the world from your evil and he is just a nice person suffering from meeting you and having to bully you. Also Sjws are the kind that don't just stop at twitter, tumblir and Facebook but call employers and business and reporters and family members etc and really bring their bullshit outside your door in real life because they are delusional enough to think they are warriors of some noble cause or something where whatever means they use are perfectly fine because of it, so their bullying is even more intolerable that your average Internet troll or bully that you can easily avoid by blocking or closing a browser tap. |

And now some of her followers are harassing everyone that ever tweeted a negative opinion toward her even if they weren't harassment or bullying. If those people commit suicide too, then what? You're going to say "Ha, karma got them,"? Right now it's just a cycle of hate. |
| Jfc, may her RIP... |
