Quinn’s Audio Erotica App Sparks Controversy with Gay Fae Tale Castings
Controversy has erupted over an audio erotica app, Quinn, following concerns related to a video featuring stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams. The app has faced backlash for removing the phrase “trans women” from a promotional video, which has drawn criticism from fans and the LGBTQ+ community.
Quinn’s Controversial Apology
In light of the uproar, Quinn publicly apologized on social media. Additionally, the app pledged $25,000 to the Trans Lifeline, an organization that supports transgender individuals. This was a response to the backlash received after the edited video was shared.
The Project and Its Popularity
Storrie and Williams reprise their roles as rivals in Quinn’s original series, “Ember & Ice.” The two embody Finn and Dane, fae princes from opposing courts engaged in a forbidden romance. This series has gained significant traction, with its first two episodes released on December 30, achieving over 1.3 million listens.
Unfolding the Controversy
The drama unfolded when Quinn shared a video featuring Storrie and Williams discussing the popularity of queer male romance narratives. Initially well-received, the video was later scrutinized. Fans sought the full interview after clips were released, which led to the discovery of edits in the expanded version.
- Initial clips did not mention trans women.

Williams highlighted the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ+ community during the interview. However, fans expressed disappointment over the omission and called for more inclusive representation in media.
Looking Ahead
