Again, I didn't start from the place of conjecture, I'm just addressing the hypothetical. The fact that it's all conjecture in this particular instance doesn't negate the fact that situations have arisen -- somewhat commonly, in fact -- wherein a model has been denied pay as punishment. So, the issue at hand is still very relevant. These models are freelancers. They take on all of the financial risk, they put in the hours. MFC is a middleman agency which provides the venue, but to expect these models to toe some sort of company line is fucking ridiculous, especially when the company line is blurry and uneven and smudged away in big areas. This is not a branding issue, or about the specter of obscenity-chasing Southern Baptist senators. If it was, I wouldn't be able to log into MFC right this very moment and watch a girl fuck a bedpost, or masturbate in a public place, or tip for shots, or smoke a bowl, or any of the other dozen "forbidden" things that are very much not forbidden on MFC. If there was any kind of consistency, or any kind of accountability on MFC's end, I'd be more forgiving of their position. But there isn't, so I'm not.
There I go with my bat and that poor horse again. I guess I'm done here.
