This journal was prompted by the arrival of a certain organisation on VF. I find them pretty disturbing- draw your own conclusions after you've read this.
The first warning came when the following post was made on one of the forums, by a 15-year-old girl.
I currently started modeling for a site, Modern Day Venus Institute. The goal of this site is to get society to overcome the fear of the human body, and sexuality, especially in teenagers. The photos models take are art, not promiscuous in any form! We take pictures in swimwear, boyshort style underwear, shorts, etc. Girls, if you're interested in modeling for MDVI, please contact me. Overall, the topic I'd like to discuss is, is this okay? Do you think this is exploitation in any way, shape, or form?
That got a few alarm bells ringing. "Hey, underaged girls! It's OK to send us your semi-naked photos of you expressing your sexuality!" isn't a message I'm entirely comfortable about VF's public forums broadcasting. So I did some digging.
The Modern Day Venus Institute is a smattering of pages across social networking sites. According to the Facebook page right here this is their head honcho-
According to their brand-new Wikipedia entry here, he's called Jared. So he's got a pretty nice pair of tits for a bloke. A quick stalk of his online CV reveals he's basically a 25-year-old janitor, trying to get a Associate's Degree in Business Management.
Now let's take a closer look at the Modern Day Venus Institute and its aims. Here's the logo-
It's just missing a Pedobear looming in the background, isn't it? Now, here are their aims as listed on the Facebook page-
Simply put, we are an advocacy group in the rights of adolescent (teenage) self expression. The main goal of our organization is to educate others (teenagers, adults, etc.) on the beauty of the world's natural curiosity with the human figure.
We all individually have the rights to express ourselves anyway we choose (the law of human nature), but a country's legal system establishes their power to subdue those rights, limiting what you can or cannot do.
We are here for the rights of the teenage audience, so that they can have the same freedoms to express and partake in opportunities or activities that are natural, non-violent, and truly beneficial mentally and spiritually.
So they're actively fighting for the rights of the underaged to do things the legal systems won't allow, connected to the world's beautiful fascination with the human figure, right? Yes, I think I can see where this is heading...
The MDV Institute is mainly an informational, educational and artful organization that displays/supports levels of beauty that are sometimes controversial or dislike. In hopes of strengthening the mind of the people who are brainwashed into thinking that their own bodies are indecent because of the brainwashing our society is suffering from.
It appears to us that many people have come to no longer think for themselves, TV raises the kids, young adults/adolescents, authority figures, parents and even our elders. We let this happen, and we don't care. And through all the mainstream garbage, we have lost our will to care and our will to think for ourselves. Humanity is losing its very own balance.
Fortunately enough, our site is one of the few sites or organizations that is NOT promoting the brainwashing, IQ-reducing, human nature-killing garbage that we see on TV or by the mainstream media.
There is a darker power out there controlling your mind from your own natural self and disarming you of your natural instincts and free will, when are you going to wake up and see this?
The problem is, is that our society is fearful on so many levels, while there are abusers out there that do NOT make it any easier for us to get out of that fearful state of mind. We have been conditioned by the mainstream media, our peers, people we thought we could trust and even some family members into seeing something non-violent, and even non-abusive, as something that can be the "end" of us. One of the things we know for sure is that something "sexy" or exotic is not a bad thing, but part of an ..that can be something positive or neutral).
We have a positive agenda, so we ask you (the viewers) to please open your mind, prepare to see something done smoothly that some people can at least relate to, have done before, or have even tried before in front of a mirror (maybe you "struck a pose" like a fashion model or dressed up like a swimsuit which are all beautiful things we catch ourselves doing!). We all are human and have curiosity that catches us but curiosity is something good, that leads to self-exploration, that leads to growing and even acceptance of what we learned if you have not been swayed by fear-mongering. Our ancestors were "curious" on a lot of things, and thus created/invented the wheel, fire, and had the innate power to fight beasts we never thought in a million years would be standing in front of! What has happened to us as human that we have 'evolved" and come to be weak and limited? What is happening to us?
So there you go. It's evil brainwashing that's causing those nasty adults to stop kids showing themselves off sexually. It's all a huge conspiracy by the evil parents and nasty old people to repress kids by stopping them showing off their bodies to the entire internet. The scales have fallen from my eyes and I see the conspiracy in all its damnable splendour.
Now, what are the Modern Day Venus Institute doing about it? They're recruiting underaged models on their Facebook site.
TRAINING: Any new MDVI models, I want to do what I am doing today with our newest member to the MDV Society; looking at practice photos and then giving tips on how to create the perfect image. This is helpful, and can improve what you do for MDVI here on out!
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: From us here at MDVI, if you are a high school student, and you want a way to get iTunes or Amazon credits, message us for more information, we will be making a video soon about this unique opportunity for high school students!
Aaaaaaaaand here's an example of their "modelling"-
I don't know about you, but if I was going to ask a janitor to train me on how to be be a photographic model, that's about the sort of quality I'd expect from the results.
I asked you to draw your own conclusions, so go ahead and do so. If anyone is interested, here is mine-
Jared Montgomery (aka The Modern Day Venus Institute)? You are "grooming" underaged girls. You have constructed an elaborate (albeit barely-literate, in places) site designed to encourage their desire to be models, while simultaneously undermining their trust in the laws in place to protect them from manipulative adults. Now I have no idea whether you have crossed the line into child porn and physical abuse, but you are sure as hell showing some very worrying signs. So are you going to be using the VF forums to obtain more sexy photos from High School girls?
If he was really "professional" he'd have release forms and the parents would know about this.... But no, he just can't get past the stupid barrier and realize that he's a pedo.
I just hope this actually warns some unsuspecting, overly excited teen who would otherwise be "modeling" for his fapping pleasure, thinking she's starting some sort of modeling career or improving teen rights or whatever bullshit he tells them.
Alright so I was going to do a before/after pic for reaching a 60lbs loss...but while looking through pics, I found this one from last September. I wasn't quite at my heaviest but it just amazed me the difference a year can make. So instead I decided to make a one year progress pic. I can't even believe that was me haha! I used to think I could never do this.
I started losing weight in January at 277.5lbs!
So for years VF had "Top pics" and everything was great. WE slapped up our photos, whether innocent or cheeky. We all propped the stuff we liked, and then frolicked away like the carefree little lambs we were.
But then the voices from on high went "OOOOOOO NO, THAT WON'T DO AT ALL! LOOK! SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE NEARLY NAKED, AND THAT'S DIRTY AND WRONG! COVER YOUR SHAME IMMEDIATELY, YOU FILTHY JEZEBELS!".
And so "Top pics" was taken way from us, as if we'd been visited by one of the more "old-school" variety of Victorian nannies. The sort who, if one child misbehaved, would throw away ALL the toys because that's just easier than tackling the actual problems, right? And thus it fell. We've still got those completely redundant props for them, of course. They do absolutely nothing, but hey! Clicking buttons is cool, right? Right?
Here's the problem- it wasn't a failure with the concept of "Top pics". That was fine. There just wasn't any clear guidelines on what was acceptable, and moderation of them that was inconsistent and occasionally missing entirely. Of course the smutty stuff is going to attract attention because that's human nature. And that's why you had admins keeping it in line. So here's a bold suggestion-
BRING IT BACK!
But this time, with clear guidelines and rules. And get the site admins policing them accordingly. Simple! It's an easy route back to restoring a popular feature. And if it managed to work years ago when VF was busier, it can work again now.
It's a win/win situation for all concerned. So how about it?
I totally agree, it was always up to us to look and upload what we want. That was the main reason I have stayed active since 2006, I was able to post everything I wanted. BRING IT BACK JET. If you don't want to see skanky or naked, go to facebook or instastupid or twitter.
Ok, so I have to share this story because it's too funny not to share.
I was cruising profiles and on a few profiles I see this guy talking to a few women. In ALL of their pages he has randomly interjected that he was a SGT in the Army but was now home. Keep in mind that this guy has hair that comes down to around his chin and doesn't look a day over 16. So I watch to see what he says when one of the women asks how long he was in. He tells her 6 months... Game. On.
Me: Hey, I saw you were in the Army and thought I would say hi as I'm a soldier too.
Him. That's kewl.
Me: Yea, I'm a specialist working on becoming a NCO.
***NCO is a Non-Commissioned Officer like a SGT***
Him: What do you specialize in?
Me: No. I'm a specialist... as in, that's my rank.
Him: Oh. Yea. That makes sense.
Me: I'm curious how you became and NCO so quickly.
***no reply for about 5 minutes***
Me: I'm serious. How did you become a SGT so quickly?
Him: Oh. I was posthumously promoted.
***I literally fell out of my chair laughing. For those of you who DON'T know, posthumously means after having died***
Me: So you're a zombie?
Him: What? No. I didn't say that. Why are you being a dick? I'm a veteran.
Me: So you're our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Him: Fuck off man.
Me: You're not a fucking vet, you ass munching piece of shit. You have to have been deployed to be a vet and if you were only in 6 months you weren't deployed. Also, you said you were posthumously promoted which means you had to have been promoted after you died. There is no possible way, even if you came in as a Specialist that you would have been promoted to SGT in 6 months! It's fucktards like you that use the military to try and get laid that piss me off and make me want to put on my Dress Uniform (also called Class As, you cockmonger) and shove my freshly polished shoe so far up your ass that the sweat on my knee will quench your thirst. I hope someone that IS in the military finds you and shoves an unlubricated grenade up your ass and pulls the pin...
The guy promptly deleted his profile. LMAO
Just wanted to share.
~Stricken
dude, good looking out! for real, that's disgusting on his part. it bothers me that anyone would ever think that's okay, yanno? fucked up for sure. this is funny.
Very nice, but you don't have to deploy to be a vet. I was in the Air Force as a radar rat and stayed CONUS during wartime, but because I was active duty at the time of the war, I am still considered a vet.
that are only for "curvy" girls, and specify curvy as chubby.
I have curves, and I'm not chubby.
I get that they're to empower larger women, but if I were to create a cult just for very thin girls, there'd be holy hellfire.
Excluding one is just as bad as excluding the other, and I'm tired of pricks saying it's not.
I'm just as offended by hearing I can't join a cult because I'm "too thin to have curves", as any larger female would by hearing they can't join because they're too large.
I don't care if people disagree, because I don't give a fuck.
I've never excluded anyone from any cult I've owned simply because of their weight.
You want people to agree that every body is beautiful? Stop shitting on other sizes, because you're just as bad.
Cults that exclude thin girls are just as bad as any cult excluding larger girls, and people need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that.
It's not embarrassing. Every female goes through it. It's just shit guys really don't want to hear. Unless they have some sort of fetish. Like, I don't want to hear how raunchy my boyfriends shit was two days ago. It's common courtesy. There's just some things you don't talk about with the other sex. But, boobs. Boobs. Guys like to hear about boobs.
Yes. But, I'm one of those people who will tell someone something much more disgusting right back and when they freak out saying 'Ew' all I say is ' Welp, you made me not want to eat for about 5 days. Now you can learn how I work.'
Usually,I just lay low when it comes to trashy, distasteful half naked photos. Don't get me wrong, I like asses just as much as the next guy. But since no one can take an even mildly tasteful photo I'm forced to be a jerk about it. Nothing too drastic, just a dot-of-a-bitch comment.
But this? This broke the camel's back. And all of it's legs.
Everyone take a look at this little number.
So let's see. Thirty-seven years old, nice. Her profile said she had no children by choice. Shocker. OH! And she's....a "slut." Oh for real, girl? ;D
Now, like I said, usually, I don't really care about bitches like these. Yah know, achin' for attention and what not. BUT! Then she had to add this, to her dislikes (hopefully it's not too small to read):
Seriously?
Well, honey, let me tell you something that I've gathered from observation over the last few years of being a member on this website. If you post pictures like this:
And expect guys to just sit back and not kiss your ass, then your thirty-seven years of life must've been spent in a box with no connection to society what-so-ever. Or, you're just an idiot.
The fuck is wrong with you?
Mood: Annoyed. Music: Quicksand BY The Story So Far
What I think was going on when this photo was taken. Enjoy! Her:"Hey Earl, hand me a beer from that there fridge." Earl:"Get it your self, I'm watching the game.. Get me one too!" Her:"I can't I'm taking a photo of my pregnant belly and my half way out tits to get some sexy comments on that there goth site." Earl:"Fine you damn lazy women!"
It really and truely idiotic when people post shit like that and then have the nerv to expect no one to comment like that.. :/ It's like, ok, seriously? Why don't they just get the thought through their head "That if you don't want perverted feedback on something like that, why even bother post half-naked pictures like?" you know? Likem DUH People.. :/ But then again, personally, I think people shouldn't be allowed to post half-naked pictures, on here especially.
Since March 2010, I've been careful with my diet, and exercising a lot. I was 22 and a half stone (that's 315 lbs to those of you who don't measure in stones, or 143.18kg).
My target weight when I started dieting was 150lbs.
Was doing a weigh in in my bootcamp classes a few days ago aaaaaaaaand
I'VE REACHED MY TARGET WEIGHT. What's even better is, I have no saggy skin because I do so much exercise. So yeah, before and after pics -
I've now decided that I want to lose another 30lbs. So I'm giving myself until October to do that.
Congratulations on reaching your goal! I am truly happy for you. I'm currently struggling to lose weight myself but its been really hard for me. Because, I'm about 5'2", I really want to get to my target weight of 130 lbs but I currently weigh 235 lbs so... yeah, I'm nowhere near that. I honestly wanted to give up until I saw this. Thank you so much for sharing this
Now I'm in the same boat as you.I'm 150 right now, which is actually just at the high average for my height, but I'd love to lose about 20 or 30 pounds at all, so maybe I'll have to try and do it by October too
During my years on vf , which are now about 8 since i been here since o4 ,i've had good and bad experiences, the first years were the simple years of vf we had an old chat and cults were simple without everybody nicking layouts and copycatting eachother not that many sluts and prostitots around and people could actually hold a conversation
The first signs of distress:
There have also been ratewhores and what not around don't get me wrong ,but ever since myspace went into the garbage bin in 2008 and emo's and sceen's discovered vf dude i rated you a ten , yeah so what expect me to buy a lollipop and celibrate it , are you fucking kidding me ,rating all the people on vf 10's and hoping they rate you back "it's cause i am a nice guy/girl" no it means you actually have too much free time to rate everyone, get a fucking job
Oh shit the dude rated me 1 or -3 , what did i do wrong"
well just like in vf not everybody likes you , big deal grow the fuck up
not gonna be a hypocrit and rate you a ten , sure i'll answer your message but i ain't gonna lie to you if i normally wouldn't even give ya the time of day , and no i am not stuck up ,i talk to whoever i like when i like ,i'll add you as a friend if i wanna conversate more .
then the next thing people bitching about you being friends with someone , just cause you don't get along with eachother doesn't mean i should be involved, you're grown ups sort it out your fucking self
Bullying:
i know jet been cracking down on cyber bullying , but that doesn't mean if someone calls ya a cuntmuffin or whatever you run to the fucking admin like a little kid(speaking of which too many on vf with a big mouth i am sure they wouldn't dare to give their mother), this is not fucking kindergarten for fucks sake , grow a spine ,there's a block button for a reason,and if anyone is offended by the pic above
and yes i stick to what i been saying before
vf where'd peadophiles get older and sluts get younger
"ooh he's being a perv" well then don't take half naked pictures of yourself if you don't want that kind of attention duh
again this does not apply to all out there, but still people think before ya act,
and for those always being harassed , learn to take a fucking screenshot and send it to the admin , WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
and concerning my views on emo's , no i don't like you no i will not ever, some exceptions made but very very few,
it seems strange to me, that VF openly endorses using journals to call out pedophiles and fakes, yet will delete a journal doing the same for a complete psychopath
not that the same shouldn't be given to pedophiles and fakes, especially the former, but I see no reason someone who tortures animals or wastes time with their pathological lies get any better of a treatment
you'd think a site as notorious for being tied in with serial killers would be more concerned about such being recognized on the site
and to the person this journal is mainly about, if you're going to "confess" to all parts of your crime, then be consistent about it, don't confess that it's worse than you've made it out to be, then go back to making it out to be not as bad as it is
then when we bring up the fact that "it's worse than you're saying", you can't just go "I ALREADY ADMITTED THAT", we're going to keep bringing it up every time you pretend it didn't happen
That's Mia, the girl I told you about that lives in her town. Charged Elizabeth with harassment and got a restraining order on her. How that it's ran out, Elizabeth is all over her again.
I'll keep that in mind if I make any future iterations of that journal, but of course some of the Admins are being dicks about any effort I make with that
I would like to take this opportunity to do something that I do best....be a hateful, condescending asshole who makes fun of everything and everyone. Because I'm in a shitty mood, and apparently the shit I say when I'm in a shitty mood is absolutely fucking hilarious to people. So, let's begin.
First, I would like to make it painfully obvious that “YOLO”, “totes”, “come at me”, “umad?”, and various other assorted bullshit preteen slang is not cool. It's not funny. It makes you sound like a retard eating fucking hot wings in a trailer park at four in the morning while I'm taking a shit in my fish tank. You're fucking stupid. Furthermore, “y.o.l.o.”, while incredibly fucking retarded in the first place, is also becoming the most misused phrase in existence, and on top of that, is the biggest fucking copout on the fucking planet. Quit using it as a fucking excuse to do whatever you want, be the biggest shitbag or retard you can be, or treat people however you want to treat them. Yes, you only live once. No, that's not a fucking excuse to be a complete dipshit. Grow the fuck up and quit making excuses for your pathetic excuse of a life, you naïve twit.
Next, simply because someone over 18 talks to someone under 18 does not make them a pedo, you stupid fucking children. Last time I checked, 'pedo' is short for 'pedophile'. I don't know what they teach you in your 6th grade class these days, but a fucking pedophile is someone who goes out of their way to try to have sex with little girls, has an unhealthy sexual obsession with preteen (and younger) children, etc. Just because someone over 18 comments on your fucking journal, or talks to someone on here who is under 18, does not make them a fucking pedophile. Quit throwing the fucking word around like it's fucking gift wrap on Christmas day. You can potentially ruin someone's life, career, reputation, etc. with accusations like that, and it's complete bullshit.
On a personal note, yea, I'm 27. Yea, I talk to a few 16, 17, 18 year olds. I know a few guys and girls who do the same......Do I try to have sex with them? Fuck no. Does anybody I know go out of their way to obsess over jailbait? Fuck no. Learn the fucking difference, you retarded dimwit. So fucking what if some people a few years apart have some similar taste in music or whatever and can intelligently discuss some shit with one another. Isn't that what a site like this is for?
And for you fucking idiots that waste your time chasing us around like chickens with your heads cut off, why don't you go after people that are actually fucking sick in the head....fucking 35 year olds that desperately feel the need to try to get 14 year old pussy? Do some good in the world instead of acting like an autistic squirrel.
Oh, by the way, if you idiots wouldn't post your fucking phone number on a site like fucking vampirefreaks.com, maybe you wouldn't have an issue with creepers/stalkers/etc. Use your fucking head and be smart. As much as some of you on here annoy me, I don't want anybody on here to end up in a bodybag because of their stupidity. Stupid should be painful, but good god, it doesn't need to result in something worse.
If I hear one more butthurt, insecure, bullshit complaint about the VF models, I am going to eat a fucking baby. So fucking what; these people have some decent pictures, are comfortable with their bodies and styles, and they got some recognition for it based on certain criteria.....why do you have to have a stick up your ass about it? Wah fucking wah, somebody else is getting attention that you personally don't think they deserve. Go be asshurt somewhere else please. Your negativity doesn't fucking accomplish anything besides create drama on the site. Get a grip.
VF tip #6984651465: Don't be an idiot, you won't get “trolled”. Don't post stupid pictures, you won't get ridiculed. Don't say dumb shit, and you won't get made fun of. Don't post anything you aren't fully prepared to get people's brutal fucking honesty on...and if you can't handle the truth, please feel free to delete your account and move the fuck on. Quit. Being. A. Little. Whiny. Bitch.
Also, I know for at least some of us personally (myself, Cody, Zewe, and others)....while we may be “trolling” you, we're also speaking the fucking truth. We're trying to point something out. So instead of getting even more asshurt and ignoring it, try taking a hard look at the fact that you probably did/said/posted something worth trolling. I don't personally troll for the sake of making people mad. I troll for the sake of pointing out the fact that you, my friend, said or did something that was dumber than a box of flying pig shit. So remove your head from your anal orifice and wake the fuck up.
You may have noticed I've typed the word “retard”, “retarded”, or “autistic” a few times. No, I don't have anything against handicapped people. Not, it's not racist. And no, I don't give a fuck about your politically correct sensibilities right now, because if something's fucking stupid, it's fucking stupid. Simple as that.
“Oh, my brother's autistic, that's not nice. You're a mean, insensitive person”
I don't know your fucking brother. Nor do I really give a flying fuck. I'm sorry about your luck? I mean, what the fuck do you want me to say? If you're being stupid, I'm not going to refrain from telling you so simply because it could be interpreted in a way that makes it vaguely sound like I'm being prejudiced against someone with a legitimate disorder. Strawman much? Quit trying to divert the attention away from the fact that you indeed are acting like a retard. I am allowed to use an adjective (or a noun as an adjective) if it is the truth. So hey, don't be a retard.
Oh hey, by the way, if I downpropped your journal, it's probably because......well.....it was retarded.
Okay, I get it. You're pregnant. Your belly gets bigger. NO I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING SEE IT, AND NIETHER DOES ANYONE ELSE. So please, do us the kindness of not posting anymore pictures of your fucking belly. Fuck.
Also, it has come to my attention that a bunch of butthurt assfucks have been downrating a bunch of racy photos that someone very close to me has posted on her profile..........
Well, I will tell you from personal experience that she's better in bed than all of you insecure bitches put together (most likely anyway. I haven't fucked you all, so I wouldn't know for sure. But still). So just accept it and move on Don't be jealous that she's hot and a good lay....or be mad that she won't sleep with you. Seriously, why get all tore up about it? Leave her the fuck alone, ffs. Get a life. Or something.
So, you're stoned or drunk. Why should I give a fuck? Why should anybody give a fuck? “Hurr hurr, I'm so stoned...I'm going to make a journal about it”. You're not cool, nobody cares, go crawl back into your hole. plzkthx
“Matthew, why are you being such a hateful individual”
Because when you're me, you can do whatever the fuck you want. Say whatever the fuck you want. Do whoever the fuck you want. Etc.
BECAUSE I AM THAT FUCKING AWESOME.
Until next time,
Love you all <3

becca has it on autoplay
Seriously, why get all tore up about it? Leave her the fuck alone, ffs. Get a life. Or something.
