Goodbye, SlamRush
-
Earlier this month, the porn review website str8upgayporn reported that MasterCard (and then, Visa) stopped processing charges for the drug-themed SlamRush site.
https://str8upgayporn.com/slamrush-changes-its-name-to-facedownassup-in-wake-of-mastercard-drama/
Faced with this financial pressure, SlamRush morphed into a newly named site -- facedownassup. Here, the text for clips is now scrubbed of direct drug references, such as "getting cloudy."
They also pulled several clips related to needles and pipes and are reworking them, cutting out background visuals on tables, etc.
The revised videos and new content won't feature -- and thus normalize -- sex scenes that infer intravenous slamming and smoking of meth.
As well, goodbye to the language promoting cloudiness (drug use) to lure younger gays into a state that impairs clear judgment and consent.
Goodbye to all of that going forward.

With these changes, the revised videos and new content won't present -- and normalize -- sex in scenes that infer intravenous slamming and smoking of meth.
As well, goodbye to the language promoting cloudiness (drugs) as a way to lure younger gays into a state where they are no longer capable of proper judgment and consent.

While it is clear that there was a market for that content, I have to say I'm not sorry to see it go. I found it ... distasteful, if sadly realistic...
That said, I am sure that others will lament its loss, and decry the actions of the Credit Card companies... These companies do need to thread the needle:
- they have to assuage the concerns of many of their customers (on the banking side of their equation) that they're not supporting illegal activity
- they also have to beware of the slow creep of consumers switching to blockchain (eg: BitCoin) types of currency exchange, which allow direct transfers of money - without the need for these "clearinghouse" companies
If the Credit Card companies misstep here, they can push themselves out of business!

I'm so happy they are gone.
Even though they had some good looking guys, I could never bring myself to watch their stuff.
As mentioned, since they were high, they couldn't give consent.
-
I watched a couple of clips from this site and honestly couldn't get into, they seemed to blur the boundaries of fantasy and reality. People being drugged and used up is a real thing and not cool.
-
I agree with the above commenters. Our community has quite enough to deal with already without becoming a death cult that glorifies intravenous drug-use and nonconsensual, unprotected sex.

drug-themed is not right ,it is no good for people's health

@hubrys I don't know where you say that drugs are used in videos, that I haven't seen in any of them.
Does he have a link that specifically shows that he is taking drugs? -
@yoop I'm sure the esteemed hubrys can answer for himself, but nowhere in his comment does he state that drug use is shown.
For that now-closed SlamRush, everything in their text and visuals was designed to strongly infer drug use.
At top of thread is an example, via the attached video frame and the table. It shows a well-used meth pipe, complete with the burnt, black bowl and some white nuggets melted in the neck. It's the real deal and not a prop.
In any event, SlamRush -- a website that worked very hard to blur the lines between the erotic fantasy and ugly reality of slamming and smoking meth -- is gone.

i digress. what is issue with these providers /censors?? they deemed themselves worthy to choose what is allowed and what isn't?? is bb sex without testing/prep any safer than what this site had?? why are such bb sites allowed to run and have been allowed to run?? majoral stupidity.
adults can choose what to do with their bodies and as a non drug user myself, i believe in free will and choice.
ps : in countries where public health systems are in place to offer free healthcare, i think it gets more complicated, but the site was run in USA so it doesnt affect any taxpayer if a adult chooses to ''get high'' and ''fuck''

Someone who is high is incapable (at least in US case law) of giving consent.
As @flozen clearly & correctly pointed out, while we mostly know that in the real world kids are getting high, getting fucked (partly why we call it "getting fucked up", no?) -- and sometimes being raped (used in ways they object to and didn't / couldn't consent to)
And let's face it, often the rapists are equally as high...
But, by most accounts, this site tried to INFER that, without actually DOING that...
So, I agree with the majority that the site was "morally offensive" to me... and I'm not "sexually" sorry that it's gone.
HOWEVER - I also do not believe that a BANK should be the one making those decisions. So I am "intellectually" (in the sense of wanting to keep a free and open society) sorry that it left us this way - and I would like to see steps taken to curtail the ability of banks to do this to other businesses.

How ironic. SlamRush text and clips focused on getting a young person "cloudy" -- so high that free will and choice were impaired. And as bi4smooth noted:
"Someone who is high is incapable (at least in US case law) of giving consent."
