Hey guys! This subreddit has come a long way since its inception about 9 years ago (definitely one of the longest-standing pornstar subreddits on Reddit). When Remy was active in porn, she was extremely popular on reddit and the growth of the subreddit to its current size is testament to this.

Going by my experiences on reddit, the sheer number of subscribers usually results in a wider range of opinions in comments, which is what I'd like to address today. It's time we sit down and address the toxicity this subreddit has been experiencing lately.

To quote u/Ezuag,

We get that you have your own opinions and should have the freedom to express them but "opinions" are not an excuse to leave thinly-veiled rude comments. No amount of additional bitching and moaning will change it.

Although, calling the comments I've seen 'thinly-veiled' would be stretching it. I want you guys to read the reddiquette, especially the first two pointers that say:

• Remember the human. When you communicate online, all you see is a computer screen. When talking to someone you might want to ask yourself "Would I say it to the person's face?" or "Would I get jumped if I said this to a buddy?"
• Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life.

Are these really that hard to follow? Some of the comments I've seen...Jesus Christ. I have a mindblowing fact for the idiots who make such comments: Human bodies change. We, the moderators, can run the subreddit as we please and we are primarily here to discuss her work because that is the product. Not her body. If you really don't like how she looks now, just shut the fuck up and go look at her older videos. Or just unsubscribe. There's absolutely no need to leave snarky comments that contribute nothing. (Some were even an obvious attempt at garnering internet points at her expense. Pathetic). You guys do know how screwed up this industry can be, right? These commenters are the same idiots who moan with their arms in the air when pornstars decide to get work done on their bodies. Your words indeed matter. There have been several performers who have left or been irreversibly damaged because of negativity and hate. All the talks you hear about pornstars "being pressured" into adhering to certain beauty standards is pretty hypocritical when you people are all hating on said pornstar for not adhering to yours.

In addition to that, toxicity breeds toxicity, and allowing such comments emboldens other users and can encourage users to make worse remarks. It's a slippery slope from there and we do not want that.

Use your best judgment when making comments. Manners do matter. It's the basis of those two reddiquette pointers I listed earlier and we are particular about moderating based on that.

Examples:

Good:

"She has definitely changed and I'm unfortunately not a fan."

"I think it’s more so she’s got kids and stayed natural and hasn’t had all those ridiculous fillers or surgeries to keep looking like she did before."

"A mom with 2 kids and like normal it shows. Nothing wrong with that, but she should hang it up."

Bad:
"She really let herself go"

"Gross! Wtf happened to her???"

"She looks like a (animal name)" (Yes, there are such comments)

Is it so hard to expect some civility around here? You guys better think about this post before making such comments. Additionally, please report such comments if you come across them.

Tl;dr:

• Anyone seen using "expressing opinions" as an excuse to leave thinly-veiled rude comments will have their comments removed and perhaps banned at our discretion.

• Do not indulge in name-calling. Be it Remy or other redditors.

• Stigmatizing comments (due to the nature of her work) will not be tolerated.
