I just wanted a hot dog Apperantly A24 suddenly thinks they own all of the backrooms.

Many people have been reporting copyright strikes for backrooms fan games, textures, and other references on Google play, Twitter and other spaces. Apparently the company thinks if they make a movie that suddenly they own the source material that existed years before the movie was even conceptualized. For an idea of how ridiculous this is, it's like saying James Cameron owns the Titanic and every survivor's story because of the movie he made.

With how shitty the world is becoming at what point is it enough, it's literally 1984, can't have shit anymore, even decades old community internet creepypastas apparently.

That's a name that makes me gag. How was such a gross and foul man the undisputed king of pornography for so many years

I mean, it isn't too hard to imagine the porn ndustry, especially at that time, being the place for gross and foul men to be king.

He unsurprisingly faced credible charges for sexual assault and abuse of dozens of women including minors. For better or worse, he had advanced dementia at the time and declared unfit to stand trial. So he will never see a prison cell, but I doubt his golden years are happy ones

Oh yeah I’d say dementia is a worse fate than prison. I’m sure most people would choose prison.

He reminded people of themselves. "Wow, if this guy can do it..."

Just look at the current US President.

My guy in the Adam's Family porn parody (The Madam's Family) there are multiple shots of Ron Jeremy's ass-crack just caked in shit. Visible, wet, gross shit. The porn industry was (is?) disgusting.

I think at the time they thought average looking dudes would be more relatable to the viewer, which is how he got work to begin with

But he was a gross bastard from the beginning. He was far below average performing with impossible to achieve women

There was nothing relatable about that lol, unless you were a gross bastard at the time. Maybe that was the play

Big D and he was impressively agile. The man appealed to the audience in a time where the media was very limited and regulations made it a hard industry to break into. He certainly wasn't a big deal in the internet porn era.
