Rant Affiliate email: "fresh young girls"

[signupdamnit]

Maybe I am being overly sensitive here but I recently received an affiliate email from someone using the phrase "fresh young girls" in the subject. I don't know about you but I associate the phrase "young girls" with pre-puberty age children. Now the site is legit as far as I see and has been around for a while but it just seems they chose to use this phrase in the subject when mailing affiliates.

I worry that receiving email likes this possibly makes it look like I am linked to illegal activities. Perhaps to an automated filter or something like this.

Should legitimate sites and sponsors really be using this sort of phrase in the subject of their emails? I think it would be better to say "young women" or something along those lines.

Anyway I need to remove myself from the list of this program as I do no business with them in the first place. I'm not going to name them but just figured I'd bring it up in here perhaps to get others to consider this sort of thing when sending out affiliate emails and to see what others think. Do you have an issue receiving an email like this?

closet pedo?
why so worried?

I don't blame the guy. Doesn't Google flag certain shit across their network? This might set off their radar. I wouldn't want to be under the microscope for that shit. Then again, even if it set Google off, they would probably look at the sender before the recipient.

I get creepy titled SPAM all of the time. I can't help what people send me.

Report SPAM, Unsub and move on I guess.

Being involved in porn automatically makes you in suspicion of being involved with illegal pornography to about 80% of the population. It's wise to avoid anything at all which is questionable. At least that is how I do things.

Yes that is part of what I was afraid of. Last I heard it was mainly with images and video. I'm not sure if certain keywords trigger it but you would think so. It's also not just Google. I heard a while back that many ISPs are also doing something like that. It just doesn't seem smart for a legitimate sponsor to send out something like that. Especially not right there in the subject.

only pedo see it as pedo phrase i am 36 and i am still feeling young, does that means i am illegal?

[Barry-xlovecam]

Young women
Young girls 18+

I think that terminology above is a lot more exact.

[aka123]

I don't know about that. Really depends about the context.

Girl can for example refer to a child or grown up woman. For example if I say in a club (alcohol, 18+); "Hey, there is a nice looking girl.", it doesn't mean that there is some little girl (child) at the club. It does mean that I have spotted some nice/ good looking girl aka woman aka 18+ woman.

Context= email, porn advertising

Thats because you are wise and use common sense. Not a lot of that going around these days...the good news you will still be around when most of these guys are behind bars or otherwise gone....

I agree with OP. A seasoned adult webmaster will know that "young girls" is unlikely to refer to children, but will the rest of the world?

Consider that the word "teen" covers the years 13-19 inclusive, but the adult industry uses it to refer to only two sevenths of that range - even though the other five sevenths are highly illegal...

[Adraco]

Everything is relative.

Without knowing the sponsor, I just take your word for it that they are normally good and legitimate. An average porngirl is maybe in her 20s, about college age. So if they now have an update with mainly "younger-than-normal-for-us-girls", I think it's an honest and normal thing to call them young girls. Since that is what they are, compared to the others we have.

Maybe not the best choice of words but it would be a bit overly sensitive to immediately pull out the pedowarning. In this case, they are young, in comparison. Context and setting means a lot.

Maybe its the industry we work in that makes us interrogate the wordings of "girls" and "young" so much, but the older I get, the older "young" means to me.. Someone says that terminology to me, I now think of 18-22 year old girls.

But yeah, in adult biz, definitely poor choice of words to use.

[Bladewire]

Young girls = pre puberty?

prepubescent = pre puberty.

Now you know.

You're wecome.


Oh and G has the sender & receiver, site liked to, etc. already categorized. If nobody is shady then nothing to worry about.

You work in the porn industry and you're posting on Go FUCK yourself creating a thread with the terms "fresh young girls" OMFG

[Forkbeard]

There's no way in hell the sponsor doesn't intend "fresh young girls" to hint and connote that the girls in question might be underage. Since no sane sponsor uses actually underage girls, this is false advertising; but it's also stupid and shady and more than a little bit ick.

I would not consider a sponsor "legitimate" that used phrasing like this and for risk management reasons, I would not promote them. It's just stupid.

The problem is not with the word "girls" but rather with the word "young". That is a word I NEVER EVER use in ANY text whatsoever. But "girls" is ok because women are, you know, girls. LOL Chicks, babes, women, females, honeys....girls. Girls Gone Wild and Girls Do Porn etc.

No, the problem is when you use the word 'young' to describe a girl. 'Teen' is ok, 'college' is ok, 'student' is ok, 'innocent' is ok....'young' is a no-no.
