Up until the rape accusations against him, James Deen used to be adored by the media and feminists on the internet. Jezebel called him totally dreamy in 2013, VICE called him the Porn's good guy, The Guardian called him a "feminist porn star" and described him as a decent guy who just enjoys the company of women. Bustle includes James Deen on a list of Male Porn Stars Who Seem Like Awesome People, Because They Discuss Body Image, Donate To Charity, And Write Feminist Essays and The Frisky went so far as to hire him as a sex columnist! In addition, James Deen is a closed friend of Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin from Buzzfeed. Gaby –who initially claimed that Deen was innocent after the accusations but later regretted her words– acted as his girlfriend in the last scene of this Buzzfeed video. However, James Deen is not the first man related to the feminist movement who has been accused of sexual misconduct:

  • Kayle Payne –a feminist blogger– was convicted of photographing the breasts of an unconscious young female student who was under his care. Source

  • Hugo Schwyzer –a gender studies professor who was a Jezebel columnist– cheated on his wife with a woman 20 years younger than him. Source

  • Jian Ghomeshi –a Canadian radio host who claimed that the world would be a better place if it were ruled by women– was accused of rape by two women last year. Source
