King Noire and Jet Setting Jasmine want to decolonize Black and brown bodies in the adult film industry.
“These things seep into your brain at these moments when you’re truly letting go,” he said. “When you have an orgasm, when you’re letting the outside world leave you alone for a little while to rub one out or jerk off, if you’re watching this and masturbating and cumming to things like this, it normalizes the brutality you’re seeing on Black bodies on the news at night. You’re thinking ‘oh, maybe it’s not that bad for them’ or ‘they must have done something to deserve that.
“We were once asked to speak on a panel with an Asian performer, who has been asked many times not to speak English in the scene ― not to present as if she is Asian American, because the viewer wants that fantasy,” she said. “Instead of helping the viewer have a wider and more realistic expectation of sex and sexuality from other people, we cater to these very limited tropes.”
“Ownership over the content we put out is imperative,” King said. “As is having some sense of equity. There are times Black people show up on set and shoot a normal scene. Six months later, you forget about it and it’s put out with a racist title. So, it’s about changing the fact that we don’t know what’s being shot and how it’s going to be contextualized in the overall product.”

Perusing their immensely popular Instagram account, it is easy to see what they mean: a zone is another minute attempt at exerting control over the uncontrollable. If the women behind the Home Edit, which is now an eight-episode series on Netflix, have their way, Americans will reap the benefits of their dastardly system and spend the rest of their lives organizing their way into a better, more aesthetically pleasing life. \n
