The Unpopular Opinion Puffin Thread

[Mitch]

Dennis Hof created a business model that put legal prostitution out of the financial reach of many clients, using Cathouse as advertisement and setting a pricing expectation for those previously unintroduced to the legal brothel system while simultaneously disallowing any discussion of pricing on his forums and encouraging the "pricing discussion is illegal" postings on independent boards.

Dennis Hof at one time was a good friend to the mongers, particularly on special occasions like LPIN Gathering, Winterfest, and other massed gatherings when he would run specials like half-off parties, throw bashes, and give away prizes.  He also is very personable and generous, often buying drinks or inviting guys to spend the night for free in a spare room.

The phenomenon that is called life is one huge accident that took what seems like an eternity to occur.

Human intelligence was all a HUGE MISTAKE. That was not supposed to happen.

We may be existing in an infinitely expanding balloon that is the dark void of space.

There may be an infinite amount of universes, galaxies, whatever the fuck.

God is a lie, and religion is one big con.

Our government is corrupt, and we as the sheeple are all doomed.

The human race will eventually die off, and we won't be remembered for shit.

When you die, you go into the ground. Just like any other animal.

No one is special. We're all just meat sacks that got lucky enough to retain a higher level of conscience.

The list goes on. Fite me!!

Yeah science tells us that this planet is insignificant in the universe and the sum of all human activity is too.  Me, I just keep on doing what I do.

Colin Baker, the 6th Doctor, was the best Doctor and "Trial of a Time Lord" was some of the best writing in the series ever. Coat of many colors, sassy, gay as fuck? Sign me up.  Also the assistants Peri and Mel are iconic.

😆😂🤣  I thought Peri was a looker though.😁

I am 165 posts away from being done with this forum forever. I've realized that it's not productive for me to share my unpopular opinions with you guys. The only thing that I get out of posting here is being filled with tons of anxiety, and dread

The newer less detailed less TMI reviews of Ladies are better because some of the old ones read like smutty bad fanfiction written by teenagers who have no concept of sex other than what they see in porn and is not flattering to the Lady nor the person who wrote it. If people want to know more info they can ask privately.

[KittiMinx]

The fact there is still not at least one brothel with legal male and Trans* sex workers (who can see clients of any gender) is a huge missed, wasted opportunity with a lot of potential not just for profits but also for progress. Just because it's not most of y'all's cuppa tea doesn't mean the market for it doesn't exist. And when it does happen those sex workers should also be treated with respect and dignity.

[KittiMinx]

Penn & Teller's Showtime Series "Bullshit!" episode on prostitution is a much fairer, more balanced, and more accurate depiction of legal prostitution and brothels than HBO's Cathouse.

[KittiMinx]

I may not agree with every Lady and their methods and opinions but it doesn't mean I'm going to fight them and not stick up for them and their rights to free speech (as well as rights as ICs). There's a lot done to turn sex workers against each other whether working the same house or different houses with different owners and fuck that. This industry makes more money when we all work together as a whole than against one another.

Gabriel at the Desert Rose in Elko is an underappreciated, underrepresented brothel owner and that is a damn shame. Even though I don't work for him and never worked for him, he'd been nothing but kind, respectful, and understanding. (And was especially understanding of my reasons to not want to work in Elko - namely my unpredictable travel schedule.) He's a super cool dude.

Presenting a differing opinion from someone else's with an open mind isn't toxicity, it is dialectic.  Attacking the person, taunting, harassing, trolling, or bullying them is toxic.  I'm all for lively discussions with others bringing different views but people can get toxic here because #1. They take anyone presenting an opinion outside of the norms of the established echo chamber as an affront to the entire community (see the article Roxanne posted in reply #13) and #2. They choose to fight back with personal attacks vs. gathering evidence and presenting counter arguments.

I'm sure that the people mass tweeting to August Ames telling her that she is a disgusting homophobe and that she should take a cyanide pill were thinking that they were just expressing their opinion as well.  We all tragically saw how that turned out.  That kind of behavior isn't much different than calling someone bullshit, a bitch, or a cuck,  or stating over and over again for weeks that the person's opinion's don't matter because they don't really exist: they are a sock puppet (even after several people proved otherwise).

Those people that get the difference and choose to present their arguments in a civil manor, I love having lively discussions with you and, if we ever meet, 1st round is on me.  For those of you that don't understand the difference or just choose to spew toxicity for personal fun, I really hope that the August Ames tragedy has shown you that words do matter, even on the anonymous internet.  Words have impact and words can be weapons if used maliciously.
