The mistreatment of Lasha Lane is evidence the FSC, AVN, Xbiz & APAC don’t really support BLM

Alex Mayers analyzes and shares her commentary on a situation revolving around an African American pornstar and performer advocate known as Lasha Lane and the historically racist Free Speech Coalition. As of current members of the FSC appear to have contracted Sean Tompkins aka TRPWL to “strong arm” Lasha into stepping down from her position as Vice President of APAC.

The reasons behind the mistreatment Lasha Lane is experiencing appear to be tied to her willingness to build a bridge between today’s independent adult performers of color and the Aids Healthcare Foundation.

An educational & insightful interview with adult actress & performer advocate Lasha Lane (part 2)

In part 2 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane (click here to view part 1) – Lasha outlines what she feels are cost inequities within the FSC controlled PASS system and how some studios appear to be “grandfathered” into the pass network and don’t have to pay to access talent records (whereas others do).

In addition Lasha Lane makes it clear that she’s willing to work with all of the adult industry leadership entities (such as the FSC, APAC and APAG) as she feels that they’d all be more effective were they to unite (opposed to continuing to fight).

Lasha states that one of her goals is keep the government out of the adult industry (in regards to regulation). Lasha Lane also delves into the perception of Black (African American) women in the industry (the mainstream vs. urban debate) and expresses how she is glad that a few Black women in the industry are finally exercising their voice.

Lasha Lane shares her long term objectives within the adult entertainment industry and outlines how she believes the long standing adult industry institutions, media outlets and awards shows (such as AVN ) at their core seem to want to be more inclusive and promote diversity, but don’t appear to know exactly how to do so (due to the “old guard” within the industry)… Lasha hopes that her efforts will shift the industry in a more productive and positive direction when it comes to educating the industry (as a whole) in regards to what inclusiveness in actuality is.

The primary change Lasha Lane feels should occur within the industry should be the elimination of pornstar talent agents, agencies and publicists – due to people in such positions having too much perceived (and unjustified) “power” in regards to the type of content produced, who works (versus who doesn’t), the existence of the illegal problematic prostitution rackets, and the global “trends” the industry at times dictates (as being valid) to the public.

In the upcoming part 3 of this interview Lasha Lane goes into detail in regards to the dispute between APAG union leaders and FSC leaders in regards to a future proposed program to provide adult performers with RESOURCES and EDUCATE adult performers as to what the realities of what the porn industry really are.

Thoughts on Passing part 2 – Xander Corvus of Brazzers, HIV, Cameron Bay, racism & hypocrisy

Alex Mayers continues to explore the situation revolving around Brazzers / Mindgeek’s contract pornstar Xander Corvus aka Mychael’s choice to “pass” as Caucasian (white) for the majority of his life and questions why he just recently not only appears to be redefining himself as Black, but seems to feel that he should be the spokesperson for the few Blacks (and other people of color) within the pornography industry talent pool.

Alex revisits the Cameron Bay HIV scandal that Xander Corvus what closely linked to in 2013 and touches on the fact that an individual CAN be HIV positive but still be an active performer in today’s pornography industry.

Alex Mayers questions why Xander consistently tweets about issues pertaining to racism in the industry but doesn’t seem to get directly involved (by attending Lotus Lain and Ana Foxxx’s most recent APAC meeting revolving around racism in the industry).

Is Xander using issues of racism simply to gain attention, extend his career and recruit young naive women of color into the dangerous pornography industry? Is he trying to deflect from his own history in the adult industry tied to HIV and Cameron Bay? Decide for yourself…

Porn Bloggers who Bully Alleged Assault Victims

There is a disturbing trend of porn bloggers routinely bullying pornstars who are alleged victims of “on set” assault. This week APAG union member India Morel called out a porn blogger known as Kelli Roberts for assault, but let’s not forget Sean Tompkins aka TRPWL’s multiple years worth of bullying pornstars.
The question is, why is the Adult Performer’s Advocacy Committee (APAC) listed as a “Diamond Sponsor” of TRPWL, where as today, TRPWL mocked the APAC’s President Tasha Reign’s assault allegations? Does APAC condone TRPWL’s bullying?
