PornHub Bans Gun Videos
In an extremely surprising statement by the owners of PornHub, which is the group dubbed MindGeek, they are distancing themselves from anything gun-related.

In recent weeks, we at MindGeek have experienced an unexpected increase in traffic on one of our sites; PornHub. This increase in traffic can be cited to the specific search queries of ‘guns’ and ‘firearms.’

As a privately-held company that operates and manages many businesses and organizations within the adult film industry, we believe it is in our best interest to protect and serve our standing client base.

The MindGeek group has labored tirelessly for many years to produce and erect a foundation of quality content for a specific group of customers. We do not believe this new segment of unique visitors is a part of that group we have pushed to acquire.

As a result, starting today, our media team will be removing all channels and video content related, but not limited to the terms ‘guns’ and ‘firearms.’

Well it's a shame they are being anti-gun, but it's actually a good thing because I thought it was terrible for gun owners to go there and start posting gun videos

Back to the cable guy routine

This is my weapon, this is my gun. This is for shooting, this is for fun.

Somehow pornhub makes sense.

Kind of makes sense in a way. Just didn't compute that one would go to watch a review on a pistol and then the next video in the bar would be double-penetration anal. The genres didn't mix well, you know.

I know it's been discussed already a lot about the difficulties of starting a "GunHub" type of site but I don't see why it can't happen. There certainly is a market for it. If I was more tech/digital savvy I'd try to have a go at it.

While there is nothing wrong with a little porn (in moderation), it isnt something that would benefit the gun culture, kids, and women (imo). We need more gun people of all races, age groups, etc so we can be stronger as a community.

Smut and guns do not mix.
