The site is also used to raise general funds; as of Dec. 2, the Haraders’ campaign had exceeded its initial goal of $5,000, with a total of $9,590 donated at the time of writing, in order to help with the family’s living expenses while his parents take an extended leave from work.

As Apollo Moon, he was a prominent and beloved adult content creator within the trans community, which was especially notable as a person of color in a predominantly white space. Community members began circulating the news of Moon’s death on X on Monday. Austin King, writer and founder of the adult industry news site PornCrush, confirmed his death in a post on X.

Moon’s peers and friends posted plenty of tributes to him on the site as well, with performer Gwen Adora writing that she was “devastated” to hear the news of his passing. “You will be remembered as a trailblazer, a kind and beautiful force in this hard world and industry,” Adora wrote.
