Jokes in poor taste shouldn't be met with finger wagging on a gay gossip site! I get what you're saying and would agree that humor can diffuse an ugly situation, but with this one, it's still developing and way too soon to be glib about it. Look, I'm a MASSIVE smartass here, but also an emotionally intelligent guy. That means reading the room and taking a cue from the mods, who have already posted that we need to tread lightly on the comedy. I don't see a ton of finger wagging here. Some back-and-forth, but nothing out of touch. I think we're still playing nice. + DynamicUno, + KensingtonHomo, mike carey and 4 others 1 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2play Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 21 hours ago, José Soplanucas said: I hope the children involved were not hurt, and if they were I hope they recovered and are living happy lives. I very much doubt they weren’t hurt and as for recovering and leading happy lives, one more often hears of the trauma inflicted on them at an early age ruining their lives. When they reach adulthood they fall prey to alcohol and drug abuse and have a hard time leading a normal life. They are truly victims and most times there is no one held to account for their suffering. Those who traffic in the porn produced with these defenceless children may not have participated in its production but they are feeding the demand for more porn and thus more victims to be recruited. The cycle needs to be broken and it is only by going after the consumers and distributors that this traffic can be curbed. + José Soplanucas, LookingAround, TorontoDrew and 3 others 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has hair over his entire body and facial hair. He also has his own OnlyFans.

One thing I never thought of that someone mentioned on the live stream....all those Puerto Vallarta filming trips Austin and others do...to avoid certain legalities when it comes to co-stars. musclestuduws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I never thought of that someone mentioned on the live stream....all those Puerto Vallarta filming trips Austin and others do...to avoid certain legalities when it comes to co-stars. In Mexico, criminal legislation is shared between the federal and state governments. The federal law establishes the age of 15 as the minimum age of consent, while the age at which there are no restrictions for consensual sexual activities is 18 (sex with someone 15–18 is not illegal per se, but can still be open to prosecution under certain circumstances). Local state laws may override the federal law. In practice, the decision as to whether or not to prosecute is left to state authorities regardless of the younger person's age. At state level, the minimum ages of consent vary between 12 (and puberty in a few states) and 15, while the age at which there are no restrictions for consensual sexual activities vary from 16 to 18 (most commonly 18). I had no idea the age of consent was that young in Mexico. If he filmed himself having sex with minors in Mexico he would still get charged for possession of child porn for having it in the US then. Also even if he didn't film it it's a crime to travel across the border to engage in sex with a person who would be classified here as not of age to consent so he could face charges if there was evidence that he was going to Mexico for that purpose. I'm sure they are still going through all his electronic devices. + KensingtonHomo and TorontoDrew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ TooSchoolForCool Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 This news is both horrible and tragic, further perpetuating the harmful stereotype that we are groomers and pedophiles. Additionally, it underscores a deeper tragedy: the likelihood that he is suffering from a mental illness exacerbated by the influences of the porn industry and social media. While he will face the consequences of his actions in prison (most likely die in it), the broader ramifications for the gay community could be significant and enduring, especially in the current political climate. I pray for the victims and I pray this disease does not spread further. Becket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_guy_atl Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Oh my God! Such over-reactions. Go back and reread the original news article at the beginning of this thread. The charge is "one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography" Nowhere does it say he participated in the videos or knew anything about the creation of them. If that were the case, there would be additional charges, especially if each video is considered a crime scene like the FBI says. I can easily see a scenario where he was set up..... think about it. He's probably made a few enemies over the years. Let's say he pisses off the wrong guy by posting a video without consent. This guy decides to get even by flooding his Telegram account with all these disgusting videos... then calls the FBI. The FBI is only too eager to have a splashy headline about an unsympathetic character and boy did they ever get it with this case! Is this scenario really too far fetched? Don't get me wrong... I'm not defending him. But I do think there's more to the story that hasn't come out.

DFdub Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 On 6/28/2024 at 7:06 PM, KensingtonHomo said: The vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual. I get your point and mean no offense, but “the vast majority” is just a math fact, not a meaningful metric. Larger proportion of the population = generally larger absolute number in population segments. Research shows the rate of pedophilia in heterosexuals and homosexuals is equal, not that it is higher in heterosexuals. All groups should probably avoid combating bad stereotypes by repeating the same bad stereotype incorrectly about the other group (even if by implication). The statement is factually accurate, but skewed and, to me, unhelpful in discussing objective truth. Terrible, TERRIBLE situation for all humanity, all of us. Infants. Not a single joke is appropriate or excusable, even to cope. My god, infants. Whether he is found guilty or not, they found sexual videos of infants. We should all be dumbfounded and appalled every time we hear something like this, and until we all are in a way that draws us together, I don’t see how we can conquer it. + KensingtonHomo, brayburn and + José Soplanucas 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he couldn’t help himself, that’s horrific and no excuse but making a decision to exploit abused children for profit, is categorically wrong evil. Perhaps true.

His husband is a bit younger and a muscle boy. So life doesn't always imitate art. "Austin" did videos of him fucking dwarfs, twinks and average Joe's.

Nobody said something because it would be “personal.” It’s sad that there people out there who defend these vids and their makers, even now. AFAIK, Wolf is not being charged with anything related to his own videos. He is being charged with possessing and transferring child porn. I don't know why you're trying to smear this other provider. A quick look at his Twitter shows that he films with a wide variety of partners: muscle guys, bears, twinks, femmes, etc. Wolf's videos not only exclusively featured twinks for many years, but the scene partners got younger and younger. He also released videos in which he seemed to abuse these young partners. That is what made people suspicious of him. It seems many of us observed Wolf's shift over the years and found it creepy. I don't see the same pattern in DrtymnNYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ José Soplanucas Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) All the threads about this are off the rails. The one in LPSG was deleted. Let's try to keep the things to the facts we know. He is being accused of trading on children porn, and considering federal involvement and procedures, we can assume the case is proved. We do not know whether or not he was fucking minors, the fact that we have seen him fucking twinks is not a proof. We may suspect he did, but we do not know. Children abusers and exploitators would have a much more challenging job without the merchants who make profit from harming children. Based on what we know so far, he deserves to be convicted and cancelled. However, it is also true that we and the prosecutors may be wrong. I bet we are not, but it is just a bet. This is one criminal case. The porn industry is not under trial. Gays are not under trial. Fucking twinks is not pedophilia. Websites promoting sex between older and younger partners are not covered pedophilia. They may be the best option for pedophiles, but most men who fantasize with and/or feel attraction for twinks are not pedophiles.
