I just say one thing here. I don't know about the politics and/or ways in which people were behaving on the SI site. I have nothing to do with it, nor do I really have an interest in it one way or another. I do agree that boundaries are a huge issue and I can't comment one way or another on what ToF has said. But I stand by what drove me to dig in a little deeper into this whole thing:
Should a person so deeply involved in the filming and distribution of "barely legal" twink gay pornography be running a support site aimed mostly at male teen childhood sexual abuse survivors? Call me crazy, but it doesn't seem right to me. If the teens have been given full disclosure at to what Chip's business interests are and they are cool with that, then I guess what can you do?. I still don't agree with the situation, but my hands at that point would be clean of whatever happens to these teens. But if the disclosure is somewhat ambiguous as to the nature the porn, or whatever it is he claims to do, than I think it is deceptive. I just think these teens need to be given full disclosure, and if they have been given that then I guess, like I said, what else can you do? I still don't agree with it, but whatever.
As far as sharing information that is confidential to others privately or in a public fashion is not cool, but I have no clue what really transpired and that is not my reason for looking into this. As far as Chip possibly recruiting some of these kids once they become of legal age to participate in his business interests, if you know what I am saying, well I can't prove or know if this goes on one way or another. But it all still seems like a conflict of interest if you ask me.
I have said what I had to say, did the research I needed to do, and at this point I am done with it. Make of it what you will.
