I used to use gaytorrents. They have the content and forums and it’s a nice little community. However, it’s suspicious they aren’t trying to prepare for the censorship hitting all other adult sites. They flat out stated in the forums they will not adopt i2p or tor or any other darknet and will start using age verification/start banning IP ranges when requested. If we don’t like it, we are told to just use a VPN.

This is an incredibly dumb response.

So I need to plan my migration away while there is still enough open conversation to discover new places. My state already bans porn unless we hand over our IDs to be handled irresponsibly/given to identity thieves/added to a list of undesirable people they want to toss into a gas chamber.

Under this regime, I’m not giving that out. Fuck them.

So where can I go now?

This doesn't answer your main question but I suspect their thinking is that VPN use is already very common in torrent communities. So common that it's not really a big deal for users to browse the site via VPN if necessary. It's not really that the staff there is going to do age verification, realistically if necessary they'd likely just block access from whatever states/jurisdictions are giving them issues with age verification.

That aside not too sure if what you're looking for currently exists. There are a few general torrent sites that also operate Tor / I2P domains, and also the general torrent indexer Postman exists on I2P. The amount of users in Tor / I2P networks is way lower vs the clearnet torrent sites so a hyper-focused torrent site in Tor / I2P doesn't seem viable but I could be wrong.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other exclusively. They could be accessible on both sides, giving an easy mode with clearnet and VPN for those who are comfortable with the gas chambers and mass graves, and the I2P mode accessing the same content but passing the traffic around differently for literally everyone else.
