Top 10 QComments

The QCats came out to play this week in a full-tilt case of cat scratch fever. Between outraged QComments on our treatment of Dustin Lance Black and some comic cruelty served out to porn stars, this last week’s QComments crackled with cattiness and wit—so grab your Lee Press-On Nails and join in the fun.
First, as you may have heard Dustin Lance Black (pictured above), and his roving gang of lawyers have threatened everyone associated with his bareback sex pics to remove the pics, or else. We thought the move unnecessary and pointless, but got strong reactions in favor and against our position. First, why asks, uh, why we would criticize Black for standing up for himself:

While I think your argument is valid, I do think your berating someone for trying to stand up for themselves. I think LA is a viper pit. If you rise to certain level of success, people are going to try to pull you back down. I think Dustin is completely right to go ahead with a lawsuit. No ones personal information, or private photos should be published online without the subjects consent. Regardless of the kind of content, either a social security number or private sex acts on film or photos, these are not to be made public unless the individual themselves publish it for public consumption. When did we go so wrong culturally? If Dustin doesn’t want those photos published, he should have every right to prevent them from doing so. We value privacy laws in this country, these photos are not owned by the public, there were created by the two individuals in the photos, and therefore they co-own by each. If they don’t mutually agree on what to do with them, then they cannot be used. These guys never followed up with Dustin, and I’m assuming if they did, after he rightfully declined their request to use them, in which case they went on a smear campaign after they failed to blackmail him! This is essentially blackmail: “purchase these photos, or we will take them to a publisher” — Well, you don’t own the photos, Dustin is in them with his “trick” and therefore automatically co-owns them. I bet you the partner in the photos didn’t have Dustin sign off on a model consent before taking the pictures of them together.

Yes, from our experience most people who photograph themselves fucking you rarely stop to ask about fair use and licensing agreements—it’s more of a second date conversation. QCommenter Phil took the opposite position, throwing in a bit of psychoanalysis to determined what might’ve motivated DLB to pursue a lawsuit:

if DLB wasn’t so full of his Gay Pride, he’d have a sense of self-irony sufficient to recognize the artistic opportunity presented by this farce. But then this 37 year-old Brent Corrigan impersonator is obviously wanting in the ‘insight’ department. DLB is obviously engaging in what shrinks call ‘undoing’, a ‘primitive defense’ — primitive because it’s childish, and lacks insight. A lawsuit will not efface these pictures anymore than it will purge the virus from his body. Being exposed with his knickers down only serves DLB right for presenting to us a white-washed version of Harvey Milk bereft of the bath-houses that were his second home. Instead, Black used the conveniently dead Milk as a as the poster-boy for some white-picket fence monogamous future Never-Never Land Homotopia, and of course Black’s naughty past only demonstrates precisely why that vision is nothing more than a delusion. As Armistead Maupin said ‘when it comes to sex, gay men are like all men — only more so!’ The last thing on earth Harvey would ever do is apologize for being sexual. I mean, that’s what ‘gay liberation’ was supposed to be about, right? Black’s lawsuit only demonstrates just how far away the gay movement gotten has gotten away from anything Harvey Milk would recognize.

Though Phil speculates and speaks for a dead man and blames DLB for singlehandedly white-washing Milk (an unfair assumption), both QCommenters have a point—whoever originally posted the pics had no legal right but, beyond DLB barebacking, most LGBTs didn’t seem to care very much. When we went so far as to post fake sex pics of Dustin and his BB beau, some QCommenters criticized us for beating up a good guy. Though we find DLB’s lawsuit short sighted, we’re not anti-DLB. In fact, we even posted the guy’s Oscar acceptance speech along with a great article about his background. Ultimately we’re a porn blog and we (along with a lot of other “reputable” publications) posted links to the original sex pics. We’ll admit… yeah, we’re sad to see the pics go. But ultimately we support DLB’s career and wish him longevity. The lawsuit may re-establish his partial ownership over the pics, but the scandal’s here to stay. You can be sure we’ll post more on the legal proceedings as they come to light.

Writing for a gay porn is good hard work (ha). There are only so many synonyms for cock and buttfucking (though “chunder plunder” is one of our favorites), so sometimes we lean on puns and poetry to get us by. We made a little rhyme in a caption for our latest In And Out of Clothes post, but Brody refused to tolerate our literary achievement:

“after the club, and a pub, let’s rub, love.”? more like “get a real career and watch me sneer at your lousy poems on queers” seriously, ftw?! anyways, this boy has an amazing ass that i’d fuck anyday

A very nice poetic retort, Mr. Critic, though (not to nitpick, of course) WTF does “FTW” mean? We may have different tastes in poetry, but we can both agree that whiteboi03 on IAOOC has a great ass. We’d fuck it, like a cucumber in a bucket. Talking about poetic dicktion, when QCommenter Brett mindlessly called the uncut penis of Maximo Latino’s Sebastian “un-natural”, James and a bunch of other QCommenters rightfully jumped down his throat:

Brett, that’s the most fucking retarded thing I’ve heard in about six months. How is an UNCUT cock (i.e. the way someone is BORN before they are surgically changed!) unnatural?!? Let me guess, American?

Hey James! Although sometimes those some Americans aren’t not learnding English and other facts too good, no need to lump all American in with Brett’s dumbass. Plenty of American guys love (sucking on) uncut cock and find nothing more natural or pleasing than uncut satisfaction. Sure, foreskin may not be Brett’s flavor, but he wouldn’t be saying that with Sebastian’s cock in his mouth. He’d probably be saying something like “mmmmmmrph, agggggaggggllle.” Talking about big dicks though, if you haven’t checked out the big dick at Latin Boyz’ Paulo and Ruben do yourself a favor and go check it out now. The hilariously named Bigcock4eyesonly sure did and though his eyes went out to Ruben’s cock, his heart went out to Paulo’s bum:

No way! There IS a such thing as too big. But when he’s wearing Depends in old age, he’ll realize that he doesn’t have a vagina.

We’re pretty sure old vaginas wouldn’t fare much better against Ruben’s mighty love hammer either.
