The votes are in, the party was wild, and the alternative scene has officially crowned its champions! AltPorn.Net, presented by the legendary fantasy toy makers at Bad Dragon, has unveiled the winners of the 2025 AltStar Awards, and it was a night dedicated to celebrating the bold, the creative, and the beautifully unconventional. This isn’t just another awards show; it’s a full-blown testament to a community that thrives on individuality and fan power.
A Community-Fueled Celebration
The energy behind the AltStar Awards is all about collaboration and support. Cutter, the driving force behind AltPorn.Net, summed up the vibe perfectly:
“The 2025 AltStar Awards celebration was truly amazing this year. We want to thank each and every one of you involved… from the companies and makers that support our vision for a greater alternative community to the producers and talented content creators, to all the legions of fans and friends that diligently nominated and voted. You all put so much into this and we are so proud to channel that energy into providing a strong and supportive network for all of you.”
This spirit was echoed by presenting sponsor Bad Dragon, who Cutter praised for truly believing in “a positive collaborative and supportive community, rooted in the mutual goal of fostering great creative alternative sexuality and sexy fun expressions of remarkable individuality.”
The ceremony itself was a spectacle, with Jeffrey Damnit and Malice McMunn returning as the charismatic hosts, and a jaw-dropping Vaudeville burlesque performance by the one and only Angel Beau.
And The Winners Are…
The night’s biggest honors went to performers who are redefining the game. The coveted award for Best Female Performer of the Year was snagged by the incredible Little Puck, a performer known for her unique and captivating presence. Taking to social media after the win, she expressed her gratitude, a sentiment shared by many winners who feel deeply connected to the fans who voted.
Meanwhile, Jayden Marcos took home the trophy for Best Male Performer of the Year, solidifying his status as a top talent in the alt scene.
But the AltStar Awards have always put immense value on what the fans think, and the “Fan Favorite” categories were fiercely contested. Cubbi Thompson was crowned the Fan Favorite Female Performer, while the charismatic Musa Phoenix won the hearts of voters to become the Fan Favorite Male Performer. These wins highlight a major trend in the industry: direct connection and engagement with fans are what truly build superstars.
Platforms and Productions That Ruled the Year

In a nod to the power of creator-owned content, LoyalFans walked away with the award for Best Premium Social Media Site for Indie Artists.
