Gay Porn Stars debate on social media about the term “BBC”

Racism in the gay world has been a major topic for several years now, most notably with the recent controversy at the GayVN awards surrounding the category Best Ethnic Scene.

Now, there’s another debate going on, within the gay porn industry, regarding the usage of the term “Big Black Cock”, or as some simply put it, “BBC.”

Max Konnor, who is a gay porn actor, tweeted the following regarding his disdain of the phrase. 

The tweet was liked and retweeted, with others clearly agreeing with Max. One user wrote: “I respect and adore you as you are. You will never be “just a body part” to me! Respect.”

“I was trying to find out how real and honest I could be with my fans,” Konnor exclusively told NewNowNext.  “A lot of times people will tweet on things I’m tagged in or to things I’ve tweeted on my actual page in reference to ‘oh yeah, take that BBC’ or ‘oh I can’t wait until I can get that BBC’ and to me, personally, the acronym, whenever I heard it, has always made me cringe. So when I posted that, it was just a personal tidbit of information saying when it’s said to me it’s a turn-off.”

However, not everyone seemed to be on board with Max’s thought process.  Fellow adult film performer, Austin Wolf, shared his thoughts about the issue in a now-deleted tweet that read: “We are quite literally paid to be objectified,” he wrote. “If you have a problem with your dick, race or any pots of your body or personality obejectified [sic], classified, insulted or criticized you are in the wrong business.”

Another porn star by the name of Big C agreed with Austin, tweeting:

Austin Wolf did not respond to NewNowNext’s request for a comment, however Big C did elaborate on what he said, adding, “Hot sex is about pushing limits, edging, and being naughty. Also role play is part of it. I’m not racist, but race play is hot and popular.”
