A Thread About Consent (Potential for NSFW and triggers)

Spinning this out of the Paris thread where the topic was first brought up. The articles I've linked look clean on my end, but to be safe you may want to consider everything to be NSFW, especially when it comes to googling names. Also trigger warning for the topic of sexual assault.

Adult film star James Deen has been accused of rape by his former girlfriend and fellow adult performer Stoya. More allegations of sexual assault by other women in the industry have followed. This has come as a shock to many due to Deen owing much of his success to his approachable "boy next door" image and being considered by many of his fans to be pro feminist.

Here's an article giving the rundown, written by a woman who used to be in the porn industry and has had personal experience working with Deen in the past: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/11/30/james-deen-the-bill-cosby-of-porn.html

Here's another article about the site Kink cutting ties immediately (note some of the assaults in question may have occurred at Kink, so this may be more an effort to distance themselves from fallout): http://jezebel.com/james-deen-dropped-from-major-porn-studio-amid-allegati-1745342576?trending_test_two_b&utm_expid=66866090-68.FLd2bbXWSVeOIUIrpr9Fmw.2

So this thread is about consent, be it in the world of pornography or anywhere else.
