As I write this blog entry, I’ve had another reminder why most people choose a dishonest lifestyle. We were about to hire a new voice actress to continue our video production, which is a branch of the business originated by the woman I still love, but who won’t speak with me. We made the contact with this new actress before knowing of her hawkish manager.
And now I must pause and think what to say, because everything you say publicly tends to be forever.
The context for this conversation is, this asshole is just doing his job. But he is not experienced or competent enough in the hentai field to know that various hentai companies have a backend they don’t talk about. His concerns were whether everything we do is legal. Under Finnish law, even lolos are legal, but Finland is not the rest of the world, and not every person inside of every third party service you associate with are cool with everything hentai can be.
What I assume happened is that he assumed I insinuated that he’s sleeping with the actresses he’s representing. Which, an asshole like him with an adult industry background most probably would do. But really, when I talk about business backends, I talk about payment processing, taxes, people management, the optics game, not the bitches you’re dicking.
Alas, I raise my middle-finger at you, man. Stop being fucking unhinged.
The issues hentai companies face are many. Because most reside in countries with conflicted cultural norms and messy laws that reflect the unresolved debates about what constitutes socially appropriate fiction. Added to that, hentai tends to gravitate towards what is socially inappropriate. Because the more taboo a fetish, the more stimulation.
In effect, hentai companies are playing optics games in multiple directions like politicians, while praying to fucking God to not get randomly fucked by their third party affiliations. You walk on eggshells, fearing the collapse of your entire life. It’s why so many erodevs burn out. The erodevs and porn businesses who lose payment processing are innumerable.
Anyone working with DignifiedRain should know, he’s not an expert on what goes here. The information I provided were things he did not know. The freak-out period can take years once you start getting serious about professional hentai.
Fact that I’m self-destructively honest is well-known. And if you’re a trigger-happy bastard who’s not able to appreciate candidness at all times (yesterday he was “appreciative” of my “candor”), you should just off.
You’re a moron. Fuck you.
