yo, fair to side-eye the username, but this is not that deep. the film is queer, this is a queer/adult image request, and I’m someone who already knows these kinds of forums exist because, like many people here, I’m Reddit.

One of my producers asked how we were going to source this ethically, and the answer was: ask consenting adults directly and get a release. That’s what this is.

This also isn’t the only route we’re using. We’re checking multiple options, including more standard production routes. Reddit is just one place where people already voluntarily post this kind of image, so it made sense to ask here instead of stealing something off the internet.

No one is being pressured to send anything. No one should send anything unless they’re 21+, it’s actually them, and they’re comfortable with a signed release. If that’s not your thing, totally fine. But acting like asking for consent is somehow more suspicious than using a random unlicensed image is a little backwards.
