Pornocracy: MindGeek and MatchGroup, The New Sex Multinationals

Pornocracy: The New Sex Multinationals (2017) is one of the better documentaries I've ever seen period let alone on pornography.  It's available for rent/purchase on YouTube and it is available for free on Kanopy

Pornocracy opens with a man discussing the various types of performance-enhancing drugs that get injected into porn stars with Ovidie, the director, who had worked in the pornography industry herself for 17 years: the Caverject that gets injected into the penises of porn actors to keep them rigid for abnormally long amounts of time (19 hours), the Pitocin (which is synthetic Oxycontin, oftentimes used to trigger labor and cervix dilation) and Lidocaine, a local anesthetic (numbing medication) which works by blocking nerve signals in your body. Lidocaine is used topically to reduce pain or discomfort caused by skin irritations such as sunburn, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and minor cuts, scratches, or burns.  However on the set of a porn, Pitocin and Lidocaine are instead injected into the backsides of porn actresses to aide in them becoming "relaxed" aka desensitized enough to allow for four dicks to enter their one asshole all at the same time, which has absolutely no biological purpose.  These actors are described as "druggies" that have "5 hour erections" who "absolutely murder these girls" even if they are "ass virgins."

In another scene an old-school porn producer laments that he has actresses showing up on-set that have been "watching [his] work since the age of eight" and even he shakes his head in shocked disgust saying that it's "gone too far."  Ovidie, the director, appears to have this same unspoken reasoning propelling her towards even making this documentary.

The supersaturated porn market is much in thanks due to the free "tube" sites run by the original corporation's name of "Manwin" aka 'Man Win' before evolving into its more contemporary name MindGeek.  Cheap "talent" floods the industry, a lot of it amateur now, and even this article from 2014 is talking about how it was getting so difficult to make $1,000 from one film they took to being so "creative" as to auction off the ability for a John Q. Public to bid on being "featured" in a film with a shiny porn star.  Within the same article they ask what the difference is between porn and prostitution and who made that legal distinction and why anyways?--turns out the distinction is the act being filmed with the intent of distribution

Distribution that requires absolutely no proof of id to access.  You need to be a certain age to drive a car, drink in a bar, to even have some of that sex of which you're watching, to smoke a cigarette, to even still purchase a pornographic magazine...  As this article so rightfully asserts..."the reality is though, it's not a matter of IF your child will view pornographic material, it's a matter of WHEN,"...albeit online I keep finding the average viewing age is asserted as 11, I'll say in plenty of non-searchable sources I've seen the average age be 8, I've seen in a more recent documentary whose title escapes me now, where an 8 year old little boy was addicted to hardcore Gonzo pornography.  Addicted.  And he became far more aggressive towards his immediate female family members to the point where his older sister would go to their mother crying begging not to be left alone with her little brother.  I've read and shared accounts as links in previous posts where child-on-child sexual assault becomes a very real reality within some families.  Buried in this yet another article which claims the average viewing age is 11 but I would assert it is much younger, probably closer to 6 or 8 now, is yet another 8 year old boy addicted to porn whose mortified parents brought him in for counseling.           

In an article published in Pediatrics in 2007, researchers found that 42% of youths had been exposed to pornography online in the last year (2006) and 66% of that group didn't even want to see it.


Back in my day people who did that were called Flashers and what they did was called Indecent Exposure.
Indeed the little 8 year old boy addicted to Gonzo in the documentary I had recently watched had claimed to not actively seek it out at first, it had appeared to him as a pop-up while he was playing an app based game on his smartphone.  

Dare I say parents, that you should not lightly roll over and merely accept that it's only a matter of WHEN your actual child will see pornography that they probably didn't and don't want to see anyways.  Take into account that the majority of children own a mobile phone by the age of seven.  So me claiming that the average age of most likely accidental porn--INDECENT--exposure happens closer within the 6 to 8 range isn't so very...
The computer I'm on won't let me post/save GIFs today...
I'd say start doing a whole helluva lot more than what Net Nanny is advising which is basically to speak to your kids preemptively and get the best porn blocker software money can buy...which apparent is Net Nanny.

Don't buy it.

That's why I so enjoyed Pornocracy as it discusses at the end why are the "tube" sites so easily accessible and industry insiders touch on ways to not make it so.  If I go to an alcoholic themed website such as Miller Lite's, I have to enter my DOB for age verification.  MindGeek doesn't require that on any of its sites, to either look at porn or as the most recent scandal to blow out on their child company PornHub demonstrates, they apparently don't do age verification on the females who get uploaded or featured on their site either.      

Pornhub has been involved in a number of cases of sex trafficking and child rape, and it is impossible to know just how many such videos are currently hosted on the site.  Pornocracy shows how much the porn landscape has changed, with it becoming steadily more brutal and violent, the boundaries are pushed further and further (such as the CGI porn of a teenage boy sexually assaulting his own mother I saw on PornHub just yesterday and not because I looked that up, I merely looked up 'big tits' and never normally look at CGI porn but it was because I was talking about just such a thing as being a problem, it appeared in my search result), and each production company scrabbles to produce the most brutal content possible and outdo all previously produced content before it.  Young women and men, aka your 8 year old or younger children, meanwhile, are being taught that female desirability hinges on their willingness to tolerate pain and degradation and to look like an ageless plastic fuck doll.  

Not even for money is this free brutal content produced, but for traffic, as it is believed the traffic drives the ad revenue.  Which would almost make sense until you realize that MindGeek is a porn provider that operates nearly a hundred websites and I'm pretty sure all it's advertising is all of its other dozens of porn sites.  Which in addition to hosting child rape, rape, and victims of sex trafficking hosts a lot of pirated content.

Even content producers that MindGeek owns have trouble getting their movies off MindGeek’s tube sites. The result has been a vampiric ecosystem: MindGeek’s producers make porn films mostly for the sake of being uploaded on to MindGeek’s free tube sites, with lower returns for the producers but higher returns for MindGeek, which makes money off of the tube ads that does not go to anyone involved in the production side.
      
Why does the world need 100 porn sites owned by one man, one company, that post adverts on its 100 porn sites for its 100 other porn sites?  That's a real question the zeitgeist of the times has forced me to ask.  

The good news is that if MindGeek goes down, most of the porn industry goes with it and man, does MindGeek need to go down.  My fellow American Parents.  I know, you're all so exhausted already, but this is a many armed hydra doing copious amounts of real actual tactical harm.  To the sons and daughters of our country.  Of course I care about the rest of the world, but as already mentioned in my previous blog post we have a very real problem my fellow Americans and it is the suppression of truth and the cover-up of the elite's scandal into child sex trafficking aka child rape and child abuse.  Even the murdering of children.  It is this same failing corrupt government that hosts an international child sex trafficking ring who fails to protect your children from not only being taken by that ring, but from pornography itself.  You'd no sooner allow two strangers into your home to have sex in front of your seven year old child in real life yet that is exactly what you are metaphorically doing when you are allowing them this exposure digitally.  Oftentimes pornography is used in child exploitation including within the confines of a molestation within the family home itself.        

TikTok, which lets users create and share short videos with music and camera effects, has been branded a "magnet for paedophiles" and yet many parents are grossly unaware of this fact.  Or that there's no real way to screen for age limits with any dating app that exists.  

In the age of "The Hookup Culture" it really is book-ended by the horrific social sway and control of two mega-multinational corporations: MindGeek (porn) and MatchGroup (dating apps).  What either company is actually doing, is data mining.  I think everyone would agree that surface and purpose wise there's a huge difference between OkCupid (might get married) and Tinder (will get laid) but notsomuch when you realize MatchGroup owns both dating apps.  This is surveillance capitalism at its finest and as this article aptly states..."if the product is free, you're the product"...

Net Nanny poises itself as a fee based solution to your free product problem that is making your own prepubescent child into a sexual deviant who will unwittingly perform oversexualized dance routines on TikTok for a bunch of pervs who can contact them at any time.  Your daughters on TikTok pantomiming Hollywood who is now pantomiming S&M.  S&M is now in the minutiae of our psychosphere.  It is the crux of every relationship, there is a dom and a sub, constantly it is reinforced a female is to be sub.  

With so much brutality in your sex, no wonder it's so difficult to find love within a relationship.  One undermines the other.  The copious amounts of free porn and dating or straight-up hookup apps like Tinder undo the sanctity of the female body.  To hookup is to prostitute yourself for free. There's an entire crime genre built around the life of a female at any age being dispensable in lieu of a male's distorted sexuality at any age.  Her life for his sex.  Our femicide has been reduced to entertainment via true crime shows.   Violence against females of any age is normalized.  With the help of porn and now Hollywood, violence against females of any age is sexualized and glamorized.  It is a concept in distribution.         

If females continue to buy into this system they will continue to have increasing amounts of sons and husbands addicted to increasingly brutal porn they're endeavoring to raise daughters around.  Daughters who are encouraged by society at large to not have any margin of self-dignity when it comes to sex least be an uncool prude.  Despite the adverse effects of sex being more intense for the female.  Daughters who develop crippling self-esteem body dismorfia issues due to the onslaught of mere images.  Which is why America needs media literacy K-12 coursework and to remember we're more than a bunch of oversexed pots and brutes.   

So parents, you can do so much more than having a preemptive talk and making a Net Nanny purchase.  You can help shut MindGeek down.
