CV NEWS FEED // In a recently surfaced video filmed by an undercover journalist, multiple employees of a leading online porn company admitted to using explicit content to foist LGBTQ “identities” on children.
“Let’s say you’re 12 years old, you’re still figuring out your sexuality, maybe even your gender,” said Dillon Rice, the senior content specialist at Aylo (formerly MindGeek and Manwin). Aylo is the Canada-based corporation that owns Pornhub and many other pornographic websites.
“Wouldn’t it be helpful to see not a celebration but just like maybe a normalization of something that you think is what you want?” Rice continued. “[It] probably helps a lot.”
“Let’s say I was 12 and I saw like TransAngels,” the porn scriptwriter added. “It would help me figure out what I do like and what I don’t like.”
Rice explained that his company “need[s] to try to push stuff that’s more, less, less accepted. Like putting a trans male or a trans female in a scene.”
“You wouldn’t get that on a normal mainstream site,” he noted.
“See if you can convert somebody,” Rice suggested. “Somebody who’s never looked for anything like that might find it interesting and click on it.”
“Same thing for bi stuff,” he went on. “Same thing for gay.”
These shocking words were caught on video in June by Arden Young of the anti-porn investigative journalist group Sound Investigations.
Young asked Aylo Production Coordinator Sylvain Fernandez what users have to do to get on the company’s porn sites.
“Probably not much,” he replied.
The journalist then asked Pornhub Technical Project Manager Mike Farley how easy it is for a minor to view his company’s content.
“Just go to the site,” he answered.
She questioned Fernandez if he thinks children access Aylo’s homosexual pornographic material.
“I think they still go on there for sure,” he said. “It’s got some educational aspects to it. Especially with boys.”
Young asked him if his site is “helping LGBTQ kids find themselves.”
“I’m sure,” the employee said. “Everyone shouldn’t just be heterosexual people of course.”
Daily Wire host Michael Knowles interviewed Young and played some of the footage on an episode of his show Wednesday.
“Two major discoveries here,” Knowles said, speaking with Young:
One, they know that kids are looking at their content. They’re totally fine with it. It obviously helps their business model. We all knew that.
…
The second discovery to me is the most shocking. Senior scriptwriter here at the biggest porn company on earth [is] saying, “Yeah, we’re trying to convert straight guys into looking at gay porn, or trans porn. We’re always trying to push the boundaries.”
“[They’re] not even just serving the market that already exists for porn,” the host added. “[They’re] trying to create new markets by creating new desires in people that they do not previously have that are certainly out of the mainstream.”
“I can’t believe they’re admitting this,” Knowles stressed.
“That was probably one of the last things I was expecting [the porn employee] to say,” Young agreed.
>> ANTI-PORN LAWS ARE WORKING, PORNHUB FLEES <<
CatholicVote reported in August that
Pornhub is ceasing its business operations in several states, citing recent anti-porn laws. Pornhub has altogether ceased providing its ‘services’ in three of the seven states that passed age-verification laws: Mississippi, Utah, and Virginia. The laws require people who wish to access porn on the internet to prove they are adults, usually by providing images of government-issued IDs.
A poll from later that month showed that a vast majority of Americans – more than 80% – supported such laws.
