I’m not even tryna throw gas on this, but I had no clue ya’ll were beefing lol on what page did this start?
Just a few pages ago. Someone posted one of those Mount Rushmore memes that positioned Pinky as one of the Top 5 Black female porn stars of all time. This dude responded with a long post screeching about how Pinky isn't a top porn star. Didn't present any logical case to support his point, but he seemed to have some sort of deep-seated emotional distaste for Pinky, like maybe she had rejected him in high school or something.
So I replied to him making a good faith case for Pinky being possibly the most important Black female of the last 20 years. I was super respectful about it too. I mean... y'all seen my posts here for the past couple years. I doubt you'll find any instance of me ever calling anybody out their name, or attacking a person rather than an argument. I don't roll like that.
So yeah, I prefaced it that I've never even been a huge fan of Pinky but nobody who looks at the facts objectively can deny her impact: She was really the first Black porn star--male or female--to fully embrace the possibilities of branding. From her hair to the sounds she made while fucking, she made them all part of a distinct brand. She was the first to really successfully engage with online marketing. Her website was a major hub. She insinuated herself into the hip-hop mainstream. Did interviews with mainstream outlets where she was funny, charming, and brutally honest about her life and thoughts. She was essential in bringing a lot of new talent into the game... and not just girls! Rico Strong will tell you that Pinky was the one who put him on.
In the days before online porn made pretty much everybody in America a porn viewer, you remember those days when the conventional wisdom was that if you knew porn stars' names you were probably a freak and a sicko? Most normal people could probably identify only one porn star by name: Jenna Jameson. Black porn stars? none. Pinky was probably the first Black porn performer that wide swaths of non-pornheads knew by name.*
So yeah. I stated these facts rationally and respectfully. This dude came back with a long thesis shrieking about how I'm biased because I love Pinky (even though I said I was never a huge fan). And he keeps coming back with longer and longer emotionally distressed, un-punctuated paragraphs calling me a femboi, a homo, a cracker, "Hey Joe... yeah, you Joe... fuck you Joe" and all other kinds of insults.
I don't think I have replied with an insult even once. And yet weeks later, he is still feeling all tender about it.
*actually no. Folks knew Heather Hunter and Janet Jacme because Lil Kim namechecked 'em. But Pinky turned a lot of non-pornheads into porn watchers.
