Brazzers rank one of the most homophobic anti gay porn movement because of rising straight content and also homophobic actor and this porn company called most anti gay and anti LGBTQ view.

History

Founded in 2005 by a group of Montreal investors, Brazzers became part of a larger group of pornographic sites under the corporate name of Mansef. In 2010, Mansef was sold to Fabian Thylmann and rebranded as Manwin Inc. In December 2012, Thylmann was extradited from Belgium to Germany on suspicion of tax evasion.

In October 2013, Thylmann sold Manwin's assets, including Brazzers, to an internal management group, MindGeek.

In 2014, Brazzers celebrated its 10th anniversary with a billboard in Times Square in New York City. The digital billboard was located at the corner of 47th and 7th and viewable for the entire month of August. In 2010, Brazzers had used a Times Square billboard to promote its safe sex campaign and to announce its "Get Rubber!" slogan and website.

In September 2016, Vigilante broke the news of a database breach suffered by Brazzers, which affected almost 1 million users after the site was hacked in April 2013.

Logo

The Brazzers logo has changed a few times, however still maintaining the yellow and black coloring and placing an emphasis on the double z letters for branding.

Operations

Brazzers is owned and operated by Aylo, a multinational officially registered in Luxembourg. The company was formerly known as MindGeek.

Brazzers came under industry criticism for associating with streaming media sites like Pornhub. In response, in 2009 the company initiated an anti-piracy campaign.

Litigation

In 2008, after being fired, producer Bobby Manila sued Brazzers for fraud and violation of the terms of his contract. The lawsuit was eventually settled.

In February 2010, Pink Visual Studio sued Brazzers' parent company, Manwin, for copyright infringement by distributing unlicensed video content on its free video-sharing sites. Brazzers' network has been accused of benefiting from unlicensed content by indirectly benefiting from traffic from sharing sites, but this was the first time a well-known studio had filed a lawsuit. A class action lawsuit was considered by other studios.

In 2018, the Government of India banned Brazzers, among other porn websites, after a Uttarakhand High Court court order demanding the same in a rape case where the perpetrators stated they were motivated to do so after watching online pornography.

Ranking

As of July 2021, Brazzers.com has an Alexa traffic ranking of 3,576.
