1,057 Men in Twelve Hours: A documentary follows online porn star Bonnie Blue.

BarcelonaBritain's Channel 4 returns to the center of controversy after airing the documentary 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. Focusing on one of the emerging names in internet pornography, it follows this figure for six months, culminating in the filming of an extreme scene in which she has relations with 1,057 men, mostly very young, in just twelve hours. 26-year-old Bonnie Blue uses this documentary to vindicate her way of earning nearly two million euros a month and offers a confrontational discourse that illuminates how the world of pornography has evolved with turbo-capitalism and the explosion of online platforms.

For the moment, some Channel 4 viewers have complained because some of the images aired showed scenes of the protagonist. "The explicit content shown in the documentary was editorially justified and provided essential context. Making pornographic content is Bonnie's job, and this film explains her work and the responses it generates," Channel 4 explained in the publication. LADbible. In the piece, you can see how she often receives derogatory comments and even death threats. "At least it gets them off the couch," Blue responded defiantly.

The girl has also irritated feminist voices because her discourse is often based on disparaging women who don't sufficiently care for their sexual partners. One of the criticisms the documentary receives is that, in some way, it ends up serving Blue and popularizing a person who engages in extreme practices. Her family, for example, also appears and openly explains that they are on the payroll of this financial personnel recruiter for the National Health Service, the country's public health system.

The channel, in any case, assures that it complies with the guidelines of Ofcom, the British audiovisual authority: "The content is presented on a non-commercial basis and viewers are warned from the beginning that it includes sexual content, so that they are aware from the outset of the nature of the program." Meanwhile, some viewers on social media joked that it wasn't very consistent to show explicit images of pornography on free-to-air television, even though it was broadcast after 10 p.m., just as the United Kingdom recently activated a digital verification system to prevent minors from accessing the pages.

Born Aunt Emma Billinger in a town near Nottingham, Bonnie Blue explains that she was tired of the routine nine-to-five job and so, after earning $5,000 in a week, she opened an OnlyFans page, the platform that has revolutionized people who allow adults. But, in practice, visibility depends on an algorithm that, as with other networks, does not control users. In any case, Blue became popular until she achieved one of the highest revenues on the platform with 900,000 subscribers. But this June, she was expelled when she proposed locking herself in a cage so that two thousand men could do whatever they wanted to her in turns. Extreme or dangerous challenges are prohibited on OnlyFans, and Blue jumped to Fansly, a similar site.

Recently, London-based OnlyFans has tried to distance itself from pornography, reminding everyone that its site is not dedicated to this activity, but rather that each creator sets the content they want. This change is related to the ongoing talks with several investors to try to sell the platform for $8 billion.

The documentary highlights the clash between two conceptions: that of the empowered woman who claims ownership of her body to exploit it as she pleases, and that of the voices that consider her message to be misogynistic and promote rape culture. Bonnie Blue's specialization in having sex with barely legal boys has also caused her complications, such as when Australia and Fiji withdrew her visa after she filmed a scene there showcasing the youth of her sexual partners, during the so-called "schools week."
