First, I did like the grunge look of the tour.

Second...

There are very, very few video makers out there who can shoot something that absolutely appears non-consensual but know how to include the minutes of lead in and lead out that leaves you feeling like that you didn't just watch a crime in progress.

Unfortunately, this clip wasn't an example of one of those. Maybe if we saw the entire video it would be different, but from what I watched last night, before it went 404, I'd guess that it would only be more of the same.

I could say a lot in this thread about "consensual non-consent" and how we sometimes play out these scenes in the bdsm lifestyles. But that's not the point here. There are a lot of scenes I've been involved in which I'd never want to see on film. Some things just don't translate well to the screen, and in today's political climate it's a risky choice to include what will be perceived as violence against women even by experienced, professional adult webmasters.

I'd like to live in a world where as long as there's a document somewhere attesting to the age and the consent of all parties in a scene, then it's fine to show them doing just about anything that's legal. Unfortunately we're very far from that world.
