Unhappy Harassment on Twitter

Hello Dani,

I am wont to let several months pass between the times I binge-watch your new video logs, so forgive me if I raise old issues about which you may have even forgotten. I had been editing the following material on and off over several months. Now, having just seen your video log 714 (which addresses disparagement of sex workers), I've decided to get off my butt and finally publish it here!

I was sad, but not surprised, to hear your report about being harassed on Twitter. Almost everyone even slightly in the public eye has been subject to that sort of thing, whatever occupational career they pursue. The New York Times article here about Twitter co-founder Evan Williams reports: "Four out of 10 [ordinary!] adult internet users said in a Pew survey that they had been harassed online." It quotes Williams as saying "I thought once everybody could speak freely and exchange information and ideas, the world is automatically going to be a better place... I was wrong about that... I think the internet is broken..."

Let me elaborate concerning the additional factor of your career as a porn player.

I remind you that you've made money by doing stuff like Public Humiliation. The key question today is: Where does Danielle the porn player end, and you, the real-life person you are, begin? Why should you be suprised that clients might reach you by Twitter to verbally abuse you in ways which are much less transgressive that what happens to you in video products? If you can play a role, why can't they?

Further, I caution you there are sick people who can't separate fantasy and reality. It only takes one such person to come close to ending your life, as sadomasichistic porn veteran Sharon Mitchell discovered one horrible day in the late 1990s! I strongly encourage you to explore the issue I raise by watching the 2017 Lifetime television "biopic" of Duke University student and porn star Belle Knox titled From Straight A's to XXX. (Alas, as I write this, I can't find a legitimate source for it, e.g. Amazon or NetFlix.)

Should you want to continue exploiting Twitter, there are ready methods to protect your feelings. Most celebrities never reply to non-celebrities who post on their feed, denying any provacateur the satisfaction of seeing any of their irritation succeed. In the end, no one knows if celebrities only post, and leave any reading of responses to a personal assistant (PA), if anyone at all. And those with thick skins sometimes pose as their own PA if they elect to occasionally respond to someone making a post, as there is no practical problem if a person wants to use multiple Twitter accounts. And finally, Twitter provides limited faclities to censor irritating posters.

In the two posts which will follow, I'll address two particular provocations you decided to detail in a vlog last year.
