Is This New Active Duty Model A White Supremacist?
So many of you hate tattoos, but what if you hated tattoos and Hitler? Because here is a new gay porn star with some Hitler tattoos.
According to a poster named “Cowboy Bob” on this JustUsBoys forum (via MenOfPorn), the tattoos on a new Active Duty model named Axl (can I buy a vowel, Pat?) are those typically found on white supremacists. Cowboy Bob cites the Anti-Defamation League as his source, and he’s painstakingly gone through tattoo by tattoo to prove his point (and I thought I had no life).
According to Cowboy Bob and the ADL, Axl’s tattoos symbolize neo-Nazism, white pride, and prison time served after murdering a minority, while one even translates to the Nazi greeting, “Heil Hitler.” And if all that weren’t bad enough, these tattoos are really ugly.
14 = representing 14 words written by David Lane, “We must secure the existance of our people and a future for white children.
88 = The 8th letter of the alphabet being H. So 88 would be HH, for Heil Hitler.
Elbow Web = The traditional symbol used by all racists to indicate time served in jail.
Celtic Cross = Represents international white pride.
Ultimately, Cowboy Bob says he “can’t support” Active Duty’s “choice in models with this person,” which is understandable! Still, this little Nazi son of a bitch sure is cute, in a nerdy, third reich kind of way.
On the other hand, Active Duty founder Dink Flamingo has responded in the JUB thread, and says (basically) that young kids like Axl are just plain stupid, and they often get stupid tattoos without knowing what they mean:
I spent five days straight in the company of this young man and not once did I ever sense or see an angry or mean bone in his body. He was sweet, gentle and very caring. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I worked with a guy that had such a sweet and caring demeanor. He was childlike in his fascination with what he was doing and so very happy and intent on doing a good job. We spent a lot of time out in public during our time together and not once did I hear him make any mean-spirited or racist comments and I live in a very culturally diverse part of the country. He smiled and beamed with pure sweetness the entire time.
[...]
One thing I did learn about Axl, like so many of these young men, is that he had a very hard childhood. When we are young and impressionable we sometimes make decisions based on our environment that we otherwise wouldn’t have made. I’m not saying that this is the end all explanation for why he got the tattoos that he got, but I would bet money on the fact that he knew very little in retrospect about their true meaning.
[...]
The next time I speak to Axl, which should be soon, I’ll be sure to ask him what his tattoos mean to him. It is my thought that his answer will come with much naivety or regret or both.
I agree with Dink. Leave Axl alone! Unless…he really is a Nazi? This is his solo (he also has an all-white four way that just came out), and he doesn’t seem like a Nazi, does he??
Should Dink Flamingo pair Axl with a Jew for his next scene, as a “test”?
Which other gay porn stars do you think are white supremacists?
How should GLAAD respond to Axl’s tattoos?
Which is more offensive: Nazi porn or bareback porn?
Will you cancel your ActiveDuty.com membership immediately if it turns out that Axl is a Nazi, or will you just wait until your membership expires?
Should Dink Flamingo pay for Axl’s laser tattoo removal?
Have you “had it” with gay porn stars and their tattoos?
Was Hitler gay?
Is Axl gay?

When Axl stars in ChiChi’s next Black Bslled (that series must end), I’ll forgive. If that’s too much, then how about a trio with Race Cooper and Diesel Washington? Oh, and he has to kiss (no dry pecks allowed!). Only then will I think he’s not a Nazi. LOL
small dick.
Was this supposed to be serious? This means that and that means this can be used to try to define this young man any which way – for example: “14 words”, the last 14 words from the song ‘If you could see her” from Cabaret. (look it up) “88=HH” uh Happy Homo, Happy Holidays, Here Honey (suck on this) and my favorite – I got this damn elbow tatoo and now I’m worried my opera length gloves won’t cover it up. The Celtic Cross has been around since the 8th century – guess how many million of people have used it having nothing to do with white pride. And last but NOT least – the kids on a GAY porn site – not a place you normally find neo-nazi white whatevers. To the sword: just comment on what you can prove and leave the LAME cowoby bob out of it.
The likelihood of him having that many tatts that are used by white supremacist with the intended meaning “happy homo”, and the other flippant comments you make are nil!….
It may be he wasn’t aware of the meaning. Or if he did know it could be for reasons that are not indicative of his actual beliefs or he just thought they looked cool because others had them or he could have meant them at the time and has since had a change of heart. Or he could actually still feel that way. BUT using them for your ridiculous suggestions is absolute nonsense and you know it is.
If the culture of neo nazi/skinheads/white supremecist wasn’t so evil, your comment would be sorta of funny.
I think you SORT-A OF missed my point. The last 14 words of the song “If you could see her” ties it all together -assuming one knows the set-up of the piece. But the next time I need someone to tell me what I ‘know”, I’ll be sure to ask you – just so I’ll “know” – or NOT!
The suggestions you used were flippant and ridiculous. But maybe I did give you too much credit in saying you knew they were. I guess you thought there were serious contenders as to the meaning of the tatts. But that’s just a guess.
Oh, I do know the last 14 words. I also know the setup and nothing in those lyrics suggest flippancy.
Lord, you are dense. My comments (not suggestions) pertained to to the fact that no one (here) could know what the the young man wearing the tattoos thought they meant or what he thought others should glean from them. If you truly understood the Cabaret reference you would have known this. And please forgive me for inserting some sorta of humor.
You’re right. I am dense.
Next time I see those tatts, I’ll be sure an add [ “88=HH” uh Happy Homo, Happy Holidays, Here Honey (suck on this) and my favorite – I got this damn elbow tatoo and now I’m worried my opera length gloves won’t cover it up.] as legit possibilites the tattoed one meant. The examples of a possible meaning you so brilliantly commented.
Very hot, damn! i’m swooning!
He is very cute. Does he bottom?
Dink just posted a response on MOP. His explanation makes sense, and I tend to believe him.
Yea I believe him. It was just a complete coincidence. And that spider tattoo, it’s been extremely popular as of late, kind of like that tribal band tattoo everyone got last decade ago.
I cannot think of a better punishment for a neo-Nazi than “diversity training” in the form of cock-sucking and getting a butt pounding. Eager to know what he tattoo says!
His dragon tattoo also reveals he’s a retard.
I have a spider web tatoo too , hope that makes me proper white trash :)
He’s a looker, I’ll give him that. And just as an aside, AD has had very little diversity on their site. Hmmm.
Puleez. He knows what they mean. I know what mine mean. That’s why I got them. Regardless, I could not care less. He does nothing for me. AT ALL. Stop glorifying trash. Find men who love men. And if you’re going to use TRADE, advertise it as TRADE. Don’t gloss it and try to sell me a diamond; when I know full well it’s glass. Call it glass and sleaze it up; THAT I’d buy. Jheezus.
Wow, f*gs will overlook and defend absolutely anything for an attractive guy.
I absolutely agree…I mean Tim Tebow can say that fags can burn in hell but someone will chime in “HE IS SO HOT!”…simply pathetic and sad!!
I know I do
Urgh. I got dragged into this conversation in both places. It’s a mess at every turn.
kinda like a shark feeding frenzy isn’t it……
Pretty much. It could have been solved easily by Dink saying, “Whoops, I didn’t know. I apologize for having offended.” I’d even be willing to cut the kid a break, if he were to say, “I had some shitty ideologies when I was young & stupid, but I don’t hold to that anymore and am working on getting my offensive ink removed/covered up.”
Not that I’d watch his videos until he wasn’t a walking bilboard for White Nationalism. But that’s just me.
Instead, they’ve turned this into a good, long wank about how everyone hates Axl and he’s so sweet that he couldn’t possibly have been . . . I can’t even. Admit. Apologize. Make Amends. Move on. It’s that easy.
Looking at guys like this and the morons that get neck tattoos and sleeves make me seriously consider going back to college and doing pre reqs for med school. You could make a killing being a dermatologist and doing laser tattoo removal.
Reminds me of that time when Mason Wyler discovered he’d been fucking a not-so-secret racist. LOL!
(So buttsex and racist views aren’t mutually exclusive or anything. And I’m sure Viagra and pussy porn played a role in Axl’s 4-way…)
I find it interesting that in all of it’s years, Active Duty has rarely (if ever) casted any ethnicity other than white for his studio. In terms of content, I think Active Duty deserves a lot of credit as one of the pioneers of amateur porn, presenting “straight” men enjoying gay sex (without the Gay4Pay drama)and filling that military niche. While the US military is one of the most integrated organizations in the US, Dink Flamingo’s military is absolutely devoid of any diversity.
Now Flamingo has to deal with this mess. Maybe in some weird way, this alleged neo nazi/white supremacist felt comfortable making his porn debut at Active Duty?
If I were Dink, I would focus on bringing back some of the guys that gave Active Duty it’s spark. It was GREAT to see Chaz (and we need to see a lot more of him) but what some of the others: DJ, Damian, Jack, Conrad, Dane, Hops. How is it that ALL of solid performers disappeared?
After all of this time, I doubt that any guys of color would want to work at Active Duty, but I hope they really cool it on the “skinheads.”
I don’t want to stir up the hornet’s nest here but couldn’t 14 and 88 mean anything, maybe it’s related to the writing around it (which I can’t make out and isn’t mentioned, he also completely misses “NN”, “the evil within” and the dragon, I don’t think dragons were ever connected to nazism) which I’m not saying is innocent, for all I know it’s a verse from the nazi bible.
The cobweb…I don’t know if a cobweb on the elbow specifically means anything or not.
The Celtic cross could be completely innocent by itself, I don’t know if it means anything with the hammer over it though.
I think it’s weird how there can’t be a “white pride” I mean, everyone should be free to be proud of their culture and heritage without being linked to supremacists, at least in theory. Every race has it’s nazi-esque supremacy groups, but it’s only really if you’re proud of being white then you’re instantly looked at as if you’re a nazi. Why can’t people just get along?
Did you just ask why there isn’t a “Pride” group for the majority group, in terms of population and institutional power? For real? I don’t expect everyone to discuss the theory of privilege at an academic level, but . . .
What is this, I don’t even?
I’m not saying there should be a full on pride group, I’m just talking about the idea of being able to be proud of your own heritage. Unless of course you have like a nazi/KKK heritage, then being proud of it is not really a good idea.
Privilege, really, nowadays? Anywhere in the real world (governments and Hollywood have their issues but are they living in the real world?) where you’re more likely to get a job or a loan or whatever because of your race desperately needs to get with the times. It’s sad if there are still communities like that.
The ties are still racist. Just because there aren’t white only signs and public lynchings doesn’t mean racism is over.
Amen Sister!
Obvious, isn’t it that almost every tattoo he has is used for Neo Nazi’s. Yes they do use the dragon, just as they use Grand Wizard. It seems that you didn’t even attempt to educate yourself before posting. The celtic cross and Thor’s hammer by themselves do not necessarily mean Neo Nazi. However, put them together along with the 14 & 88 and the Viking poem and you have a guy with Neo Nazi written all over him. I think one of the most idiotic then i have read on another forum is that NN are not gay. WTF????? Trust NN will hook up with a person of color to get that forbidden fruit….TRUST. You can try and White Wash this all you’d like but, those that know better will call it like we see it. They he wanted everyone to see it and know what he is a sad, sorry little idiot.
I’m sorry, I’m dumb as a post I admit it. I’ll think twice before commenting next time, and then just not comment.
“Every race has it’s nazi-esque supremacy groups, but it’s only really if you’re proud of being white then you’re instantly looked at as if you’re a nazi. Why can’t people just get along?”
Are you honestly this naive? No one is arguing against having pride, but do you even know the history of the white pride movement? It’s also anti-minority, but for some reason you want to whine about us getting along. Dude, read these books and then come back and talk:

http://www.amazon.com/Strange-Career-Jim-Crow/dp/0195146905/ref=pd_sim_b_67
Guess I am naive. I’m also not very bright.
:-) Well it’s never too late for some book learning. And for the record: don’t know if the guy has race issues. Will say Dink’s explanation over at MOB is the weak sauce.
He can’t be a Nazi because he wears Calvin Klein!
Maybe he does porn to get these tats removed?
And why is almost everybody who does a couple of gay porn scenes nowadays called “a new gay porn STAR”?
As I said at MOP – he just Spencer Fox’d his way to the gay porn heap, because there is nothing fags love more than a hot hateful white guy!
Except Axl hasn’t said ANYTHING, except that he enjoyed the experience, the same cannot be said for Spencer Fox. Spencer condemned himself with his own mouth every time he blogged and almost daily on Twitter. You didn’t have to make assumptions about Spencer because he made it clear how he felt repeatedly and consistently. Here, some people are making assumptions based on their interpretation of artwork and symbolism – they haven’t given the guy a chance to speak for himself before condemning him. That makes a big difference in my book…
When it comes to the tattoos, I’m not at all bothered by the ‘web’, ‘celtic cross’ or ‘Viking prayer’ motifs. All of those symbols are ambiguous, at best, and just because they have/may have a connotation among the white supremacist community doesn’t rob them of their other meanings to other people. The “14 88″ tattoo is a lot more unambiguous, but it’s still (remotely) possible that he got it either in ignorance of its white supremacist meaning or that someone encouraged him to get it while deliberately lying to him about its meaning. Still, it stretches the limits of credulity to think that Axl got these markings done without knowing these interpretations and still remains unaware of them.
On the other hand…
From what I’ve seen about modern white supremacist groups, they (like the Nazis, whom they tend to revere) tend not to like gay people very much. By which I mean they generally tend to lump in homosexuals with the other racially ‘impure’ groups that they deeply despise. Now I’m sure there are some ‘closeted’ gay folks affiliated with white supremacists. But ‘closet cases’ don’t generally make gay porn that’s intended to be viewed by the (paying) public. I’ve watched Axl’s scene and he’s friendly, smiling and, from all appearences, enjoys himself as he sucks and gets sucked, fucks and gets fucked, kisses, caresses and generally has all sorts of sexual fun with 3 other hot guys. Yes, there was some occasional awkwardness and nervousness (especially when first getting penetrated by Kaden) but there’s certainly no hint of contempt or arrogance or even the “Oh God, when will this be over so I can get paid?” expression that one sees on many gay4pay models.
So what am I left with? Two highly unlikely alternatives, as I see it. One, that we have a guy who is so committed to the white supremacist cause that he’s had their symbols and ‘hidden meanings’ permanently etched upon his body but has no problems appearing on a gay porn website where anyone can see him having, and apparently enjoying, gay sex. Or, two, we have a guy who just happens to be naive enough to get a bunch of potentially racist symbols tattooed upon his body while remaining ignorant of their meaning (which in the case of 14 88 can be found in a quick search of Google/Wikipedia).
So I end up in a dilemma with two apparently unlikely choices, I truly have no idea about whether he’s either incredibly naive OR he’s a white supremacist who’s willing to make gay porn and doesn’t care who knows it. And, lacking something more concrete to tilt the scales one way or other, I’m going to stay on the fence and (more or less) give him the benefit of the doubt.
I’m on the naive side of the fence, not firmly entrenched there, but that’s where I’m standing right now. It is totally conceivable to me that he was mislead by the numbers(read dinks explanation), and had innocent reasons for the others. There are so many different tatts and a huge number of people getting them, many don’t even think there is a reason behind each individual one besides aesthetics. Other than the occiasional USMC, girlfriend/boyfriends name, etc. I haven’t seen the scene. From your description, it makes me feel even stronger that it was naive and innocently done.
I’m sorry but the sheer number of tattoos suggest this is not mere coincidence or naiveté. I mean, Thor’s Hammer protecting a Celtic cross? References to Valhalla? That’s classic Neo-Nazi stuff right there (think Thule Society).
Or he could come from a Norwegian/Danish-Scots/Irish ancestry… You’re right, the number of tattoos SUGGEST that it’s not coincidence, but a lot of people are acting as if it PROVES it. And without knowing more about the situation/circumstances about how he got those tattoos, all we’re really left with guesswork and hunches.
Well, I know enough not to bother with this guy and his… visual baggage.
Those are 100% WP tats…..on the hottest boy I’ve ever seen!
He’s adorable!
o for god sakes, take him for what he is….just a huge sweet puppy dog hunk of gorgeous, workin’ for our pleasure in a bad economy, and maybe enjoying his work while he’s at it.
Fascists seem to have a fatal attraction to male sex. Just think of all the skinhead stuff, and gax sex in Hitler’s first “army” the brownshirts is well documented (Adolf sorted the Nazi queens out in the Night of the Long Knives). By many of the remarks here, the turn on from a bit of rough trade seems to play out over any “nasty” side effects (like gassing gays in concentration camps). At least the guy should be challenged by his porn masters about his tats – he may be entitled to wear them (In the US, that is, not Germany) – but if he does agree with the messages they give then he shouldn’t earn his bucks in mainstream gay porn.
Good for him, Celebrate that WHITE skin!!!
Active Duty has a released a video of him with 3 other guys. Axl gets fucked and sucks cock like a pro. If he is a white supremacist his gang is going to be mighty disappointed in him.
How ridiculous is the logic that just because someone is a bottom in a porn flick that there is no way he can be a racist or a neonazi? So, if he were to play a masculine role of a top in porn then your logic suggests that him being a top with those 5 symbolically racist, skinhead tattoos confirm his racism? What an intelligent assessment.
Yes, you can be gay and a racist; yes, you can take dick up your ass and wish segregation would be reinstated; yes, you can take dozens of cumloads up your un-douched asshole from old men for money but still hold xenophobic views or ally yourself with right-wing christian conservative nut-jobs. As if we already don’t have those type of gays running around CPAC conventions and kissing up to Ann Coulter or voting for Republicans.
