X-critic also against Transsexuals

[WendyWilliams]

Well I will no longer be wasting money on sending DVD's for review or submitting Interviews and I hope other companies do the same.

I'm not sure if we still do - but we're stopping. We stopped sending press releases when they said we had to pay for them (for a press release?). They could easily turn some revenue on that site by putting in a few good affiliate programs but I think they're clearly small minded on both business and their thinking.
I actually have no idea of how much readership they even have, I'd never heard of them until a year or so ago when the PR person at the time suggested we send to them.

It's a shame because I think over-all they're probably good eggs - but that quotes above show that they're either incredibly ignorant or just don't care about alienating a whole bunch of people. I think the owner/editor has just became obstructive as he didn't like being called out in public.

Fuck it - bigger fish.

Just fucking sad.

For those who missed the drama last week, Xcritic entirely ignored transsexuals in their "fan awards" and claimed the work just wasn't good enough.

A number of us called foul and the owners of xcritic claimed it was not a slight and that they were supporters of our genre.

Now today, when AVN published an article on the AIFD situation xcritic has come out in support of them AND is now insisting they are going to stop covering our genre.

At least we've seen their true colors... sad.

I know I am going to get a lot of heat for this. I think X-critic has a point about the quality of TS porn films. TS porn is a joke. TS Seduction, Devil's Films, and Reality Junkies are the only companies that produce quality TS porn films. Their scenes have up to date video quality. Everyone else is way too behind in video quality. Most companies are way too cheap. Their production sets are way too cheap. The scene sets are cheap.

The fact that Shemale Strokers is nominated for an AVN is bullshit. I've been a member! Their photo and video quality is terrible.

Another problem is that the top girls rarely appear for most companies because the companies are too cheap to buy them at good rates. We want Kimber James, Kelly Shore, and Yasmin Lee at other sites other than their own. Pay these women their fair share! This also affects the quality of TS porn. People want to see the best. This is expected in porn. You don't see straight porn going for 5th best like you do in TS porn.

TS porn doesn't have any standards in terms of model quality. Anyone can be shoot in TS porn. Hell, some sites cheat members by shooting a TV. Most TS women who enter porn are just starting out and do not have the look to be in porn.

However, I do agree with the TS women and fans about how they are incorrectly labeled in the database. They should be labeled as Transsexuals, not as gay men. They are not men. Show them some respect.

I just got this from Don - I blacked out certain parts

Big problem, easy solution.
Transphobia is still real apparently and it's unfortunate business professionals who work in the adult industry don't bother wasting their time to educate themselves.

I just got email from iafd.com they posted a blog and are changing:

I believe they said that but you dont think so? These sites/producers make all their money off the fact that we want to see the girls but are lacking on the actual product. Dudes shouldnt have to debate what site theyre going to join and pray that their money isnt wasted on shitty camera angles, poor quality videos, highly anticipated girls in scenes where all they do is walk around in lingerie, girls not getting fucked, lame positions, poor direction, etc.

There needs to be a serious overhaul in quality of product in this genre of people are just going to stop buying from these weak sites all together.

Look at how Extremeladyboys.com at 40.00/mon and LadyboyGold.com at 30.00/mon rarely offer any discounts. They have a steady fan base b/c they offer a quality product. One hardcore one solo per week. The scenes are well produced and the look great.
These are the only two sites where I know what I getting all the time. What they do should be the standard.

I'm not saying all TS porn is technically great... hell, my own content is grind house level quality -as in is there is no quality LOL. I agree most of TS porn won't stack up for many reasons.

But that being said there are moments of brilliance out there: Nica Noelle's Transromantic film is one of them. Xcritic's own reviewer raved about Amy's performance in that. If we pick through all the work generated in the past year there's other stellar examples out there. I'm not saying TSs should have dominated the list or had a strong showing, but nothing? That I had concerns over.

I agree and disagree. I don't think Extremeladyboys and LadyboyGold set the standards. TS Seduction, Reality Junkies, and Devil's Films have much better video quality than the sites you listed.

You don't know how to shop for porn. No one should be paying $40 a month for any site. There are discounts everywhere. You can get Devil's Films and Reality Junkies memberships for $5 a month and their TS porn has good quality. You can get a TS Seduction membership for $18 at certain review sites and blogs.

TS porn doesn't deserve coverage. Like Mac B said the product needs a MAJOR overhaul in quality and production. The quality in TS porn is a joke.

Remember last year when everyone was so excited for the first ever TS Parody movie featuring TS Foxxy? That was such false advertising. one scene out of 4 was actually focused on the Parody. While the other scenes were just a bunch of old scenes put in the DVD to make it 2 hours. Reallly? Really?

There is way too much solo content, and not enough hardcore content in TS porn. That's another reason why some people do not want to cover TS porn. Bailey Jay was a joke. However, TS porn doesn't have any standards so she won AVN two years in a role for providing solo and POV content. Straight men who buy porn want hardcore content. We always hear producers saying that straight men want TS porn. However, the type of content they want isn't being produced.
