Ginger Banks Meets George Takei Following Viral Tweet Explosion

PHOENIX — Performer and cam star Ginger Banks has met George Takei nearly a year after the television icon and activist gave a signal boost to a tweet from Banks that subsequently went viral.

The pair crossed paths last month at the Phoenix Fan Fusion convention. Last year, Banks tweeted that her new response to unsolicited “dick pics” would be to deem the photo to be illegal and then express faux outrage by pretending to report the sender to the authorities.

Oh, myyy — well played,” Takei wrote on social media. Banks’ tweet was republished on a website run by Takei under the headline, ‘Adult Film Star’s Response to Getting Unsolicited Dick Pics is Pure Genius.’”

Banks enthused about finally meeting Takei in person. “We had a great conversation about our responsibilities as public figures and how it’s important to speak out for what is right,” Banks said. “It’s not always an easy thing to do and sometimes there’s fallout, but speaking with Mr. Takei assured me it’s up to us to use our celebrity in this manner, and I just loved him for it.”

She is still surprised by the viral response to her original tweet. “I had no idea that I would get this overwhelming reaction,” she said. “It’s crazy and wonderful, getting all this love from so many people, and to have George Takei post it on Facebook? Oh, myyy!”
