Politics influencing availability of products?

[3Demon]

Because we were specifically discussing American politics and culture, I was referring to Americans. Europe, Asia, etal, aren't relevent. If you can cite some Americans who managed to transition from pornography into the mainstream, have at it. American Ron Jeremy never transitioned into the mainstream. Notorious is not mainstream. There's a difference.

Also, that someone uses an alias to conceal their given name merely underscores my point.

you should read a bit more carefully.
the american continent was mentioned, sasha grey was mentioned.

ron jeremy transitioned into mainstream, that is not a question of personal preference and denial, but fact. he is one of the few(er) porn performers who actually has a background in formal/»classical« acting. it helps if you have a look at his credits in front of and behind the camera, before resorting to assumptions which turn out to be incorrect.

on another note, you are conflating the continent of america (american) with the united states of america (united statesian). i haven’t looked into american porn performers outside the usa, but there is little doubt brazilian, colombian, mexican (to name a few) performers went mainstream.

transactions online do not care much about national borders, thus general practice on vendor sites affects prospective customers regardless of their physical location. conversely, comparable biographies, policies, practices et al are evidently highly relevant, because they are all affected by the same backdrops and challenges.

mainstream actors with a history in porn - individuals who are prominent in the industry and have worked in the usa extensively, and are part of the same media/entertainment that the united statesian target group is consuming - do not need to be from the usa to prove the point.

siffredi alone has probably produced and shot more high profile porn releases than a majority of domestic performers, and he is a staple name even for people who do not really consume porn. the same goes more or less for the other performers i mentioned.

kekilli starred in games of thrones, so not sure why you think her nationality is of any relevance when she has been followed by one of the largest home entertainment markets (hint: the usa) during the show’s run.

leone is canadian-born …

however, i will humor you: jenna jameson, mia khalifa, ginger lynn, asa akira.

an alias is nothing unique to the porn industry.

you might have heard of niche and indie character actors vin diesel, jamie foxx, michael caine, cary grant, whoopi goldberg - or aspiring musicians elton john, bruno mars
