Dear Grooby, not all black men are thugs.

[TSPornFan]

I just log into my Shemale Pornstar account. I see Jenna Roberts as this week's hardcore update. At first I was happy. Then I noticed it was IR which is nice, no problem there. Then I noticed another black man on a Grooby site being portrayed as a ghetto thug. I have not see a single IR scene on a Grooby site that does not stereotype a black man as a thug.

Note to all producers and employees of Grooby.

Not all black men are thugs nor portray themselves as thugs. There are black men who live different and respectful lifestyles. Some of us use our Es and Rs.

It is offensive to always portray black men this way. Hell, the white pornstars on Grooby sites are not stereotyped in every hardcore scene.

What makes you think Grooby has anything to do with it? Performers look how performers look... dudes are pretty much left alone when it comes to how they show up on film. It'd be worse if a producer told the dude to act less urban if that's where the guy is really coming from. Pipe down guy, it's just porn.

How would it be worse to tell someone to pipe down? This is a porn movie. They are porn actors thus they are playing a character on film.

I know for a fact in roleplay straight porn they tell both the men and women how to act as their character, not themselves. I've seen one black female pornstar act ghetto in one movie and act with class in another, all depending on the scene.

Again, Franklin?

Ever consider that the message may be OK but you've picked the wrong medium?

And is it just Grooby that vexes you?


When do classes start again?

[TSPornFan]

What do you mean by the wrong medium?

You have no idea how this kind of porn works. Two people go into a room and do a job. Have you ever been on set for a Grooby production? They don't do corny shit involving characters for simple jerk off material. It's efficient and to the point. It's a come as you are operation. I'm one of there editors AND one of there performers and many other models/performers on this board work or have worked for Grooby at one point or another... we know how it works, and you are sitting at home building some fantasy world in your head about how you imagine it works - you're speaking out of your element. PIPE DOWN.

Maybe people enjoy watching this type of role play? Why else would they bother making it?
Personally role play doesn’t do it for me. In fact it puts me off especially bad acting.

Hangon, hold your horses dimwit.

Tues we only upload a behind the scenes video - which is Jenna talking about her upcoming shoot (which goes up on Thurs). She doesn't even mention the male performer.

In fact, the only photo we have of the male performer is this one?


So why do you think he's a thug? I'd say practically every black performer we have used are cool guys, they don't roleplay at being thugs, they don't come across as thuggish by abusing the models and they let them TS models be the main part of the scene.

Where do you get "thug" from?

LOL. Look at how the guy is dressed. All black male performers in Grooby films are dressed as stereotypical thugs. They also act and talk like stereotypes.
