who actually cares about xcritic anyway just another wanky review website at end of day .. just another parasitic company trying to make affiliate sales off the back of reviews of content blah blah guinea bahh ...
Why do people even give a rats ass about this bell ends ..
There is countless mediums for studios/models etc to use to promote/get reviews etc one site like that is hardly any issue ..
I think they care more about their names being associated with gay/male terminology.Quote:

Is the owner's name Don Houston by any chance? Because thats what it sure seems like:

Read this review on xcritic and you see what I mean.
Don Houston is NOT the owner
Owners name is Chris and he isnt based out of Portland anymore.
I disagree with this sentiment entirely for the simple reason that when you ignore what one company is doing, it makes it easier for others to follow suit.Quote:

Let me say I have dealt with Xcritic for years and I have NEVER had an issue with him and in fact he has took my side on reviews that had bad pronoun's etc. He has ok' every Interview I've submitted, allowed me to post my PR stuff, I have submitted company DVD's for review for years. I am truly shocked that he feels we are "bullying".
Of course I am not going to say he is "against" us however I can just simply stop contributing to his site and respect his opinion.
Thanks for the link Amy, I'd say "Don Houston" clearly has some issues with transgenders:
"Foreword: The following review deals with the TS, tranny, transsexual, or other term used to describe those who were born men but took great efforts to become more feminine through implants, hormone shots, surgical procedures, chemicals, or other means. Most of them prefer to be called females and the related descriptors (some taking great offense when referred to as “him”, “he”, “dude”, etc.). They and their followers also tend to be very sensitive to being called “gay” or having their self-described gender identity questioned in any way. For the purposes of this review, it should be noted that I use labels in the descriptive sense only, my comments more in keeping with describing the basic elements for a general audience rather than one dedicated to the genre or specific performers, those truly into the subject likely already having the source material of these compiled scenes. If you are really into the TS genre and have yet to watch most of Joey’s releases in the field, you have been missing out as he is usually widely regarded as the best in the field, his mainstream credentials giving him a greater audience to spread the word for those even slightly interested."
One of XCritic's reviewers (and I know he reads here occassionally) "Apache Warrior" is a good reviewer and a good advocate for transgender erotica, I hope he can weigh in with the editors somewhat.

I really don't think they are against us either...I just don't get why they are supporting these guys. Way before this was even an issue, I wrote to them over a year ago asking them to change it in which they promptly responded with no. Recently, many people emailed them and asked them to fix it and they said no. They could of easily changed us all to female like many other sites do which would of been not insulting anyone.Quote:

That review by Don Houston who sounds more like hes doing a review for Porn Wiki Leaks than Xcritic by the way.
