At this point it’s pretty much impossible to ignore the fact that Belle Knox, without the approval of most of her peers, has become the spokesperson for the porn industry. It is what it is, she has bolstered herself into a position where her voice is the most perceived voice anywhere in adult, good or bad. I actually stood up for Belle in a previous post when I first heard of the incident, I thought it was a nice interview and I thought she came off to be a pretty solid individual, and even though I suspected (as most others did) that publicity was a large part of the reasoning behind it, I also thought that it certainly wasn’t a terrible way to go about it. She wasn’t talking down on porn, and she agrees that sex can be a good form of self expression for some people. I agree. I’ve never judged her, or anyone in porn for that matter, for things they’ve done on camera and I think it’s completely fucked that some people do. I’m not going to talk about her because of some bullshit gossip, all that is obsolete to me, and it should be to you as well. However, I will judge her when she makes herself look like a fucking dope. Lately this girl has been fucking everywhere, and the latest article is the absolute icing on the proverbial shit cake that she is continuing to feed the world. I watched her on Piers Morgan and although I kind of cringed as I watched it, I still thought to myself, “Yeah no big deal…She’s at least trying to give porn a better name.” Well the more this girl fucking talks, the more retarded she sounds, and it’s getting to be pretty fucking awful to be honest. All this added to the fact that she has now accepted an internship with Pornhub. Yep. You heard it right, the princess of mainstream porn media has taken a job with the company that has tirelessly shit all over the adult industry upon their arrival onto the scene years ago. Cool.
‘I am very excited to start working as an intern at the site [and] I reject the motion that Pornhub steals from porn companies,’
On the contrary, Pornhub drives traffic to porn sites and many sites actually run ads through it.’
Above are quotes from Belle in an interview with TheDailyDot. What I guess she fails to understand is that these companies have no fucking choice but to run ads on Pornhub, there is literally no other option. It’s either run ads on Pornhub and [attempt to] keep up with the stolen content posted there, or just say fuck it and allow content to be stolen from your studio/website/clips store/etc. Manwin gives them no choice. It’s a fucked situation and Belle Knox is now a part of it. It simply reiterates the fact that Manwin will stop at nothing to continue to take advantage of vulnerable individuals who have no idea about the damage that they’ve caused to the industry. It is what it is. Nica Noelle recently wrote about the story on her blog and spoke pretty freely on the situation including some talk on real feminists involved in porn, with a genuine take on the reasons why it gives them an unconventional but appropriate outlet for self-expression. I’ve read a lot of compelling things from women like Tristan Taormino and others she listed there, and even though this post isn’t driven towards pro-porn feminist theories I do think they have much more to say than Belle Knox on the matter. Either way, Belle Knox should’ve quit while she was ahead because it looks like she’s overstepped her boundaries here, and might catch some flack professionally because of it. We should never judge someone for the personal life decisions they make, or for accusations others make toward them based on gossip or unconfirmed rumors about who they are privately, but we should always take notice when someone speaking on behalf of others do and say things that those people they’re speaking for do not fully agree with. Either way, it’s fucked and I’m done with this Belle Knox shit as of….NOW.
