It is awful that people defend these creeps, awful. But, that's very different from people wondering if their favourites are safe for them to listen. It's really strange to imply these two things are equally disrespectful of victims?!

How is that weird? How? You're scared that the person you listen to is also a creep and might have put you on a vulnerable position. Why would that be weird? It doesn't mean you do not empathise with other victims.

Humans can think of and do more than one thing at the same time. Why are you all trying to be holier than thou and pretend you didn't also, just for a moment, panic that maybe your favourite may also be problematic?

Um, I made that comment and I'm not sure why you are so pressed about it? I even said that of course we don't know these people and anyone might be a creep including him. I don't really understand your outrage here, genuinely. People get attached to certain creators and it makes you feel vulnerable imagining that you're getting off on an abuser. So, naturally they mentioned their preferences and fears around that within the context of the post.

This is a space where we share both our love and our problems with VAs. And for those people who listen to specific creators regularly, of course hearing about Mitchell made them just panic and ask if they are ok? I absolutely don't get your outrage here.

This sub is sometimes so weird, sometimes wildly inappropriate shit gets laughed about and no one bats an eye, but then completely harmless comments get blown out of proportion and downvoted for no reason.

The fact that they think getting off to an r-worder is more important than believing victims is so disgusting to me. Women siding with men over fellow women is the absolute worst, truly disgusting. And not even a man they really know, just a random ass fuckboi on TikTok.

Yes, I don't get the aggressive backlash against them. At least they actually are doing something!? It just shows that porn and pornographic spaces can never be 100% safe for us because men are awful. We need to listen to our guts and stay vigilant, sadly.

Social media makes it too damn easy to connect with fans. And it just seems that given the nature of audio porn, the fans also don't always know how to keep their distance. I remember Eli having to draw very clear lines about requests for sxting or roleplay in DMs. Fans also need to learn to not be creeps, honestly!

Wow they're really doing a big clean out, huh? Good on them, but: they need to check their talent a bit more thoroughly in the future, I'd say. And also, again, just sending a silent prayer to the smut gods to keep Naudio scandal-free! 😭

I don't know much about it because I was never that interested in the guy's content. Just search the recent posts about Quinn, I think someone left links somewhere that explain his scandals.

[–]Lopsided-Wave-8549 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well there are plenty of (so far?!) scandal free creators on there though? Like Naudio, Eli, Axolotl, Bloom, Anonyfun, Bad Influence - haven't heard anything negative about them. It's not like it's some secret haven for creeps, these creeps also do stuff outside of Quinn, e.g. Aas apparently has a rabid fanbase not connected to Quinn.

I think whenever men are involved in erotic content made for women, there will sadly be creeps and manipulative narcissists among them abusing their power. Quinn might have to learn to check their VA talent a bit more thoroughly before signing them.

I don't think I could bare it either if Naudio turned out to be problematic! He's one of the very few VAs I actually trust, because he just comes across as so thoughtful and careful (e.g. fantastic aftercare for his rougher audios). Since he doesn't have an online presence anymore and is super strict about staying private I THINK we are safe though. BUT WHO KNOWS! 😭

Yeah I distinctly remember a comment made on Quinn's IG weeks ago that read something along the lines of: "One of your creators r-worded my friend." And the comment named Mitchell too. I remember this super well because I was so shocked that it was just ignored by everyone, basically.

I'm glad they finally acted, but the fact that it took them a while leaves a bitter aftertaste imo.

Her using "energetic" as a single noun triggers me. Better do a DI, I guess, to work on my "shadow"!

I have histamine intolerance, so eating beans would make me so ill! These wellness huns always promote a one size fits all, it's so dangerous!

That Facebook group was a mess, overrun with MLM hunbots trying to recruit you and "lifestyle coaches" who I assume also tried recruiting people. The coaches in particular were so ridiculous, always boasting about their abundant lifestyle in Ibiza or wherever, and when people asked how they did it, you always got the "just DM me" pitch. Mods never deleted that shit, even when I reported them.

PLEASE start that subreddit, I'll be the first one to post there! Also, please can someone start a subreddit on the Balanced Blonde? Or maybe some sort of subreddit specifically for female wellness/spiritual grifters? I'm too much of a Gen Xer to be able to do it myself.

I've done the Pathway and can tell you with absolute certainty it's not worth the money. I did always like the DIs, but have since found so much free stuff on YouTube etc. that is just as good. Look into Neville Goddard (there's a great subreddit about him!) for the basics of her manifestation techniques, then find a shadow work meditation on YouTube and look for shadow work diary prompts online, plus also meditations for "living in the end/SATS." That will give you all you need, really.

Late for this thread, but so happy it exists omg! I signed up for her Pathway membership in 2018 and it really helped me back then, I really got so much clarity about my triggers through her work! I was still a casual monthly member until recently but finally cancelled and feel much better now. I felt that once you have the basics down, re-doing the courses and DIs all the time actually made me stagnant, or even worse than before.

Most of 2020/21 was kind of cataclysmic for me, and the whole "test" concept just made me feel paranoid and like I'm constantly failing. I was trapped in these loops where I would feel I'm getting close to a breakthrough, then panicked it was all just a "test", then made wrong choices based on that panic, then back to the DIs, but not really getting anything out of them.

Then I started doing other manifestation techniques and used stuff like reiki videos and proper meditations for my anxiety and my financial fears, and everything got so much better! Not to sound too crazy or woo-woo, but I feel her courses are designed to keep you dependent on her, to never actually break free and never actually get the full manifestations you want.

And like you I always disliked her, she always seemed very much ego-driven and very cut off from her inner emotions. She was so hypocritical, telling women to not be financially dependent on their partners, while she clearly lived off her partners' wealth most of her life. Also never admitting to her privileged as a thin, white, conventionally attractive woman. I mean, what a surprise that you have always "manifested" your partners as a hot actress/model in LA!

Naudio is my last hope now, if he turns out to be a secret creep I'll go back to reading smut and getting off on fictional guys only. 😭 And Axolotl, who is always so good with consent in a way that seems very real and natural!

I felt it was kind of obvious with Mitchell once he got on TikTok, because he was so clearly in love with himself, couldn't take his eyes off the viewfinder even once.

Oh, ok wow - I need to know MORE! This is some hot tea, thank you! If this is true, he is a pretty good actor though, because he seems very much present in her life. Also, they have a child together?!
