Man this is fucking crazy. SJW my ass,this was one of the best porn stars over the last 3 years. To think we will never see any new scenes is crazy man. I don't know if I will still be able to masturbate to her after this but we are around the same age and what not. Life is too goddamn short.

Holy shit, just stumbled across this news...what a tragedy. 23 years old, for Christ's sake...
not that the reason cause matters that much, either way she's gone...but I certainly hope that the cyberbullying angle had nothing to do with this. As others mentioned, suggesting that she was homophobic for simply choosing to not up her odds of exposure to HIV is retarded. You would think that someone in porn who had probably dealt with judgemental assholes online before wouldn't harm themselves because some idiots harassed her online, but anything is possible...all speculation, I know...
but regardless...what a waste.......TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD. Jesus.

Very sad indeed. Just a kid.
She's most likely already depressed and has suicidal thought for a long time. The twitter crap is just the one that finally snapped her.
So young. So beautiful. So sad.
She seemed like a really sweet kid. Such a shame in so many ways.
She made a careful and conscientious decision to protect herself in her already higher-than-average-risk career and tried to help her colleague make an informed decision. Could she have articulated herself better? Probably. Could she have expressed her concern in a less public manner? Definitely. Was she wrong to have concerns? Fuck no.
The math does not lie and the argument that "one person's AIM test is as good as any other" is spurious when you factor in the incidence of HIV in the crossover community, combined with the increased transmissibility of said viz. anal sex. Was she at substantially higher risk if she only engaged in vaginal sex with crossover performers? No. But higher, yes.
Secondly, stepping away from the biological factors, the whole point of this business is to liberate people to make informed decisions about their sex lives. Whether she chose not to shoot with crossover actors, or even thought it in the best interests of her colleague to know about the risk factors around working with a crossover actor, this does not amount to homophobia. And even supposing it did (which I am emphatically not); whose right is it to judge her for choosing who she sleep's with or how she share's her concerns?
Thirdly, no one is justified in attacking someone for expressing their sexual preferences or sharing their concerns for the intended wellbeing of others.
Lastly: it's very unfortunate the way she responded to the ridicule. I really wish she could have risen above the naysayers, and taken more heart in the validity of her conscience and solace in the knowledge of her rights. She made a bad choice, motivated by a narrow view of her reality, her self worth and her options. Some people here are calling her a depressive who broke under the scrutiny, and perhaps this is so, but more than anything she seemed a bit fragile, and ultimately someone looking to be validated and appreciated. She deserved better than what she got from her haters and much better than what she gave herself. The fact that she never got to truly realize her inner beauty is perhaps the saddest part of this tragic story.
Enough with this recreational outrage and villifying. Enough with the ganging up and bullying; playing the victim so you can victimize. Enough virtue signally and shaming. Stop being vicious. Be kind to each other.
I'm sorry, M. Be at peace.

if that brings down the porn industry, so be it/
Arguments on the internet are not worth your life... I'm so saddened by August's passing. It's just so hard to understand.
They can be that way because they are anonymous. If they acted that way IRL someone would toss them a beating.

RIP August Ames
This year within the adult industry can't get worse now. So much is taken for granted.
A mix of depression and comments from f*cktards...-and then this. Never forget, never forgive.

Oh, man - as the British put it, I'm completed gutted to hear that August is no longer among the living. She was an awesomely sexy woman, of course, but she was also a really cool, funny human being. I had Twitter convos with her about women's MMA, really enjoyed her sarcastic sense of humor. RIP, August - my best to your family and friends.
