I’ve lurked on this site unregistered for years, but today I felt like posting about something I’ve been thinking about.
Does anyone else get really down when their favorite model/camgirl/SW retires and disappears from the internet? I’ve been on sites like MFC for over 20 years and have seen so many of my favorites leave. On one hand, I’m happy they’re moving on to the next stage of life and wish them the best. On the other hand… holy fuck, it can feel pretty rough.
I think part of it is that I follow some SWs the same way I follow actors, singers, or artists — except with SWs there’s often a more personal, intimate connection. With other performers, they usually stay in the spotlight for decades, make public appearances, stay active on social media, or have ways for fans to reach out. But with SWs, they can vanish completely. Sometimes they announce it, sometimes they don’t, and you’re left wondering what happened. A few transition into other public roles, like Twitch streaming, but most just… “poof” — they’re gone.
I often think about a model I used to watch on MFC years ago who also used to post here. She was easily my favorite MFC model ever. She completely changed how I saw camming — she didn’t fit the stereotype I had in my head. She was incredibly sweet and respectful to her fans, crazy talented, funny, geeky, and had one of the most infectious smiles I’ve ever seen. She had a real passion for so many things, and it showed. She somehow made something often seen as “naughty” or “taboo” feel warm, wholesome, and welcoming. Her streams were fun, positive, and had such a great atmosphere. I still miss them. Sometimes I think, “Man, it would be cool to send her some fan mail,” just to say thanks. I've tried sending messages before using sites that still exist, but from what I can tell, they've been abandoned.
I like to think she’s living her best life, but her leaving also makes me sad to think about because no one will ever fill her shoes. It’s bittersweet.
