When agendas go way too far.

From The Independent:
An adult film star who starred in almost 290 movies has died at the age of 23.
August Ames, who was from Nova Scotia in Canada, reportedly died in Camarillo, California on Tuesday morning.
The exact cause of death currently remains unknown but police have said there is no indication of foul play.
The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Ames, whose real name is Mercedes Grabowski, had passed away but did not give a cause.
It is feared Ames may have taken her own life.
Her husband, Kevin Moore, is said to have expressed his sadness and asked for privacy.
He reportedly said: “She was the kindest person I ever knew and she meant the world to me. Please leave this as a private family matter in this difficult time.”
Ames was vocal on Twitter about not performing with a man who had shot ‘gay porn’ because she felt unsafe. It has been reported the industry doesn’t do enough to protect performers from HIV so her concerns were not based on hate, but rather on health.
whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews , you’re shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know. BS is all I can say??♀️ Do agents really not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my body?✏️?

Instead of looking at the situation as a health concern though, people attacked her for being a homophobe.
I think it’s hilarious that your discriminating against a man who does/did gay porn when half of this industry has performed with such performers.
ALLLLLLL performers must subject to the SAME testing in order to work.— Alexis Monroe (@AlexisMonroexxx) December 4, 2017
Sorry, it was just my opinion. My body, my rules. Honestly I’m sorry if I offended anyone.

Hi August, we're doing a story on you and this tweet. Why is it an issue if you (or any lady) shoots a scene with a guy who has shot gay porn? How does this represent something that agents don't "care about"? And, what does this have to do with "homework" on your body?

Just. Awful.
No words really.
It seems people forget that there are real human beings behind accounts in social media, and for some reason, we’ve lost our ability to be decent to one another in any regard.
RIP Sweet @AugustAmesxxx. It's horrifying how people are crucifying you in memoriam on this thread. You had every right to do, or not do whatever you wanted with your body. Shame on these haters and trolls for bullying you into taking your own life. It's absolutely disgusting.

Agendas are not more important than people.
