AVN's New Starlet of the Year 2015 August Ames is dead at 23. A few days ago she was being bullied online by the militant homosexuals because she refused to shoot scenes with gay male pornstars. It might have been a suicide, but is not yet confirmed.
Everyone go give her a 21 tug salute.
Very sad news. I don’t understand the backlash over her preference to not shoot with gay male performers.
It seems that folks are too quick to bash others - especially when they think they are right. When online trolls hurt someone enough that they harm themselves, the trolls don’t win, but rather everyone loses.
Damn I loved her porn videos. May she Rest In Peace
It really is so out of control. If the social justice warriors can get to the porn industry then they can get to the strip club industry. You'll see. And then before you know it, a white guy who chooses to marry a white woman will be automatically branded as a racist. It was bad enough back when the conservatives wanted to tell us who we can't have sex with... now the lefties want to tell us who we have to have sex with!
Fuck that sucks I knew her SO from another forum.
Ouch. That is sad. She did some truly great videos, always happy in them, and as others have said, she was hot. Two of the best looking breasts I've ever seen, no exceptions, always with a perfect tan.
Aged 23? That's amazing to me, so many videos at such a young age.
RIP, darlin. You'll be missed.
Very sad story. I had not watched any of her videos until the one Sinclair posted. Very attractive girl.
Unfortunate when anyone dies that early.
It is now being reported that it was a suicide, and she hanged herself.
"I don’t understand the backlash over her preference to not shoot with gay male performers. "
I've never heard of this actress. Gay men are statistically more likely to carry STDs. Seems like a logical decision and not homophobic.
Suicide.
So in this fucked up politically correct world, not wanting to get AIDS makes you a bad person?
sadly yes.
Sad indeed
"Ames, who was bisexual, received criticism on social media, with some people calling her homophobic and, in at least one case, telling her to either apologize or to commit suicide."
Words matter.
^ very sad. I think some folks forget that sex performers are real people - with real feelings - and some are emotionally fragile. Something struck a nerve with her - and she ended her young life.
This type of trolling needs to end. It must have been unbearable for her, and it’s sad.
Sorry for my rants. I see the effects of online trolling with my kids (who are teens) and it is legitimately painful for them. It can easily get overwhelming.
Very sad; love these two scenes with Darcie;
That's sad someone could be driven to suicide over social media comments if this is the case. I'd rather see someone close all their social media accounts and disappear before they take their own life. Those calling for suicide have blood on their hands in my opinion. RIP.
Some women won't fuck black guys...some black girls won't fuck white guys...when it comes to sex it's a different standard than other social interactions. I don't think her not wanting to fuck a gay guy makes her homophobic. I wouldn't fuck a gay guy either!
I had seen her name here and there but since I hardly ever watch porn I didn't really know who she was but now that I've seen her I'd have to say that she was one of the hotter porn stars that I've seen recently. Like someone said, many of those girls are very fragile, It's a shame that she ended her life because of some bullying agenda pushing leftists.
OSU: "Leftists"? I think most bullies are conservative.
Cuckstar take your head out of your poogressive faggit ass, she was bullied by leftists for being homophobic, the tolerant left doing what it does best.
There are many bullies on both ends of the spectrum. It’s basically if you don’t agree with them - then you are wrong - and you must be either terminated or admit your errors. In all honesty, we should be allowed to simply see things differently, and still live together.
I don't think it should be illegal to bully people on the internet, but we should still really hate the people who did this to this girl.
The internet didn't create assholes, it just gave every asshole a semi-anonymous platform. This isn't a problem that has a quick solution, or any solution really. And obviously she must have been pretty mentally fragile to literally kill herself because of some online bullying. It's just a sad thing all around. Sad for her, her family, friends, and fans. And sad for our country where young people (left-wing people) seem to have completely given up on any notion of freedom of association and freedom of speech. Now sex workers are literally not even free to choose who can pay or be paid to have sex with them! It kinda makes the gay wedding cake debate seem like small-ball by comparison.
Anyone who blames this on "conservatives" is just not paying attention. Perhaps conservatives would bully people on the internet if they could, because that's what people do, but conservatives tend to be older and less likely to be on the internet in the first place. Also, conservatives are more likely to have a job or a business, and therefore less free time on their hands (and more to lose). It's like the difference between the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street a few years ago. The Tea Party was largely non-violent and cleaned up its mess after it finished protesting. The Occupy morons literally shit on police cars, raped women, obstructed traffic, and camped out for months like animals. I'm not a conservative, but at least in this regard, they behave much much better than their leftist counterparts.
SirLDAlot - you make several good points regarding the sad events leading to this girls death.
It can be a double edged sword - when a porn star tries to exploit social media as a marketing tool. It can be effective to connect with fans. But it can also turn quickly and become brutally harsh.
I find it sad that someone can be so influenced by what happens on the internet that she gets as mind-messed as to take her own life. But I also find it a bit inexplicable. I mean, how many trolls are there here at TUSCL? But are we getting all wrapped up in who liked whom and whether or not we're good people? Yeesh. I just hit "ignore." I admit, I just don't understand the dependency-crisis-desperation mentality that can make internet-taunts into real taunts.
OH and PS she was smokin hot super duper what a bod!
