don't you hate it when you try to point something out over & over, and it gets ignored, and then months or years later, people try and tell you the same thing you told them, like it's news?

they did a good job of covering their asses for a while, though; like when people complained that the site was primarily thin white women, and they posted a few girls who didn't fit that bill. or when people first started saying "how much money do you make off these girls compared to how much you pay them?" and the response was "they knew what they were getting in to!"

Yeah, I remember when they first came out a few years back and everyone was like, you guys are full of shit! And the SGs were just like, you all are jellus haterz! Yes, we are all jealous of the privilege of being underpaid for nudie shots on a lame porn site that tries to peddle itself as 'feminist'. How did you ever figure it out?

exactly. i remember the arguments on the strap-on.org boards 2-3 years ago with various models and the owners. most of the arguments were about the racism, fatphobia, and the not very hardcore-ness of the site, but some people did mention the crappy pay the models were getting, which some of the models defended.

i never understood why the site was called suicide girls either. stupidest title.

Because mental illness is kEwL!!!1 Didn't you know? Like, all the cool girls commit suicide! Excuse me, I need to go cut myself now. I'm feeling a little uncool and need to fix that right away.

God, SERIOUSLY.

I think the idea was something like, "we're killing off the part of ourselves with all the hang-ups" and blah blah pseudo-feminism etc etc. Which, fucking please.
