12barsofsoul said:I can understand people not particularly liking his work but from what I've read on this thread it's like he's the ultimate criminal in the porn biz. If people are going to name Max as an abuser, misogynist etc...then they should include all the people that followed in his foot steps as well because they're fisting, using baseball bats as dildos, spitting on women’s faces, stepping on their heads, choking, A2M, slapping, pissing, gagging etc... besides the fact that Max made all of these acts standard in porn, I think he gets criticized more because he's not typically what you see in porn as a "leading man" he's old, definitely not a looker compared to the talent in the industry today. Also Max is almost becoming a martyr of the porn industry because of all this shit that is happening to him and I think people fail to recognize that.
Actually, I would (& do by posting this) criticize those men as well, except for the fact that
A. I never watch that stuff and
B. I don't know those people's names
Max Hardcore is obviously the most famous of them all, and there's a dutch saying, which I've conveniently translated, High trees catch a lot of wind, which simply means that 'popular' and powerful people are aften critisized more because they're well known.
I personally believe that people should be treated with respect and in sexual situations, preferably with tenderness. Of course it's hard to expect tenderness in a porn movie and because of that I don't, but I do expect at least SOME respect, which people like Max and the ones who've followed in his footsteps haven't shown.
