I think it’s time we have an honest conversation about the way people view this industry and the people who work in it.
Watching how quickly people label adult creators as immoral, disgusting, manipulative, or somehow less deserving of respect simply because of what they do for a living is genuinely disturbing.
Some people automatically assume that because money is exchanged, someone must be getting taken advantage of. They assume that because a person participates in findom, BDSM, or other adult dynamics, there must be something wrong with them or the people who willingly participate. But have we ever stopped to consider that adults can have different desires, different interests, and different ways of expressing themselves?
As producers, we create content and experiences that fulfill fantasies people actively seek out. Adults come to us because they're interested in what we offer. There is nothing inherently immoral about creating content for consenting adults or participating in consensual dynamics simply because someone outside of that world doesn't understand them.
Of course, consent, honesty, and accountability matter in every industry and every relationship. Exploitation can happen anywhere, and genuine wrongdoing should never be excused. But we shouldn't automatically assume that every interaction is abusive or that every adult creator is a bad person simply because of the nature of their work.
And on a deeper level, I think we should all question where we get our ideas about morality in the first place.
So much of what people consider right or wrong is shaped by religion, culture, tradition, and the teachings they grew up with. But have we ever stopped to question those teachings, consider their origins, or think critically about how they've been interpreted over generations? Have we ever considered that something we were taught to condemn might simply be something we were taught not to understand?
Having faith and asking questions are not mutually exclusive. You can believe in God or a higher power and still think for yourself. You can have personal values without believing that everyone else must live by them.
I personally believe we are all on our own paths, learning different lessons and experiencing life in different ways. Just because someone's path looks different from yours doesn't automatically make it wrong.
And working in the adult industry does not erase someone's humanity. 💗
Adult creators are real people. We have families, friendships, feelings, struggles, dreams, and lives outside of what you see on a screen. We can be kind, generous, loving, intelligent, compassionate people, just like anyone else. Our profession doesn't define the entirety of our character, and it certainly doesn't give anyone permission to treat us as though we're beneath them.
You don't have to agree with someone's lifestyle. You don't have to approve of their choices. You don't even have to consume their content. But you can disagree without dehumanizing people, making assumptions about their character, or wishing harm upon them.
We can hold people accountable when necessary without resorting to cruelty. We can have different moral beliefs without treating others as though they're less deserving of dignity. And we can acknowledge that people live differently without assuming we know their entire story.
At some point, we need to stop confusing "I wouldn't do that" with "That person is wrong for doing that." Those are 2 very different things.
Compassion, respect, and basic human decency shouldn't be reserved only for people whose lives look like our own. ❤️
Some of the comments coming out of subs’ mouths surrounding Bratty Nikki’s passing are absolutely disgusting.
Need I remind you that she didn’t seek submissives out just to take from them. THEY CAME TO HER. She simply provided what they were actively seeking and fulfilled the fantasies they willingly brought to her.
But then again… I know you losers already know that. You just seem to conveniently forget it when it doesn’t fit the narrative you want to push.
I personally didn’t know Nikki, but the online interactions we did have, she was always very kind. She will be missed in the industry. Condolences to all her friends and family 🙏
RIP Nikki. 🩷
I give terrible first impressions, especially to women. I have this look on my face that makes them think I’m either a bitch, or a hate them, or both. When I first met Nikki it was at a poolside in Vegas in 2010 and I was in a particularly bad mood. Nikki either didn’t notice or didn’t care. She gave me a warm smile and ushered me to come closer the way little girls do who have no ulterior motive except to be friends.
We didn’t click as friends at first, but we respected and supported each other. Being findoms at a time when no one had heard of findoms, our stars aligned a handful of times. Once, a sub booked us both for a double cam show, where he opened a Saks 5th Avenue account with his credit card, gave us the password, and proceeded to watch as we gleefully spent $10k
There are few women in this industry who truly embody their online persona, and Nikki was one of them. She believed her beauty and femininity was best leveraged to give her the finer things in life and she did it better than anyone; Louboutin shoes, Dom Perignon champagne, and first class tickets to luxury hotels. But her high standards were not limited to just herself, she believed all women deserved these things. She never coveted a generous sub, and if you were lucky enough to be one the select few friends who she trusted, she would spare no expense to share her glamorous lifestyle with you.
These last few years were the closest I’ve been with Nikki. We collaborated over several projects with our shared sub, fairy. She took me to EDC via helicopter and I dragged her to burning man, with so many other trips and experiences in between. We’re so different in many ways that I’m doubtful we’d be friends under different circumstances. Which is why I’m so thankful that this strange little profession brought us together and I will miss her so fucking much.
RIP, you baddie. I love you.

PAYMENTS ARE UP ON https://t.co/K0SRAXwQmL !!! Thank you all for your patience 🥹 I’m the first in my bloodline to do anything even close to this. It took a lot of time, sleepless nights, and *professional* emails (yeah I can send those :p)
It has not been easy hosting an entire video streaming website on my own and it has taken the whole summer to get to where we are today. tinglr has surpassed 8,000 user accounts 🎉 which is a huge milestone and I KNOW it will only get bigger. I work on updates every single day. I want to give a huge thank you to those of you who have submitted bug reports (and some 50+.. you know who you are 😘🥰) as this has made the site feel so polished and functional.
An ASMR website is SO overdue. If you know any creators who would benefit from tinglr, please spread the word! I can’t offer the ad revenue of YT, but I can offer exposure, unfiltered ASMR, and true creative freedom. No one has to hold back on my site or worry about getting the ban hammer, tinglr is the home for ALL ASMR.
None of this could be possible without you. Hosting a website takes a lot of mental and a lot of money (haha 🥲) THANK YOU for giving me a chance. Watching, commenting, liking, checking out my *other* content. It’s not just for me, but it’s for the whole ASMR community. I may have put in the hours, but YOU made tinglr happen. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Here’s to the future of ASMR 🥂 I love you!
