Latest Updates... (brian.joseph.johns)

First of all, I'm going to duplicate this post on both of the writer accounts on Shhhh! Digital Media. The fav.inbox@gmail.com account and the brian.joseph.johns@shhhhdigital.com account. Both accounts are operated by me, Brian Joseph Johns, and even the fav.inbox@gmail.com email is my alternate email. So what I'm trying to say is that they're both the exact same person, not two different people.


For instance, fav.inbox@gmail.com isn't operated by a person named Jake "N" or Bobby or anyone else.


Both writer accounts are the exact same person, whose photograph can be found at the bottom of every published post here on Shhhh! Digital Media (https://www.shhhhdigital.com or .ca - they're both in Canada though the physical host is likely located on an offshore server somewhere in the world).


My disconcerting post from yesterday still stands, though keep in mind that it was made under the duress of a lot of verbal harassment from a local cult. They attacked me, not the other way around. I never initiate attack. Ever.


My statements with regard to my personal feelings about online content of an adult nature, apply specifically to websites who host such content. I support the responsible members of that industry, though it took many years for me to work up the courage to express that sentiment, especially when compared to the damage caused by street prostitution and the risks posed to women who do operate in that manner. 


Many churches and religious organizations are behind those who've taken to a war against online adult content run by responsible merchants and artists, in their war against sin, and I truly feel that this effort will ultimately harm society more than it will ever help. I believe that such sites run responsibly are the front line of many aspects of women's rights, especially the right of their say over their own bodies and how they're used. This is not to reduce women to the role of being sexual objects, but rather to support them in their own choice with regard to their body and their right to exploit it through online media. Many such women have their online and in person identities protected, not to mention they're insulated from many other risks associated with other types of work in the sex trade, such as violence, robbery and health related risks.


The war on sin by self-righteous groups who claim to be acting in the interest of protecting women actually poses an enormous threat to the rights and safety of women overall, because such groups attack online merchants, using payment processing firms to force merchants from operation, while taking NO similar measures against operations in the street that put women at monumental risk. Yes, payment processing is involved in such activities as street prostitution, as pimps often partner with local businesses to handle their payment processing (such as small hotels or independently owned fast food restaurants).


So the war on sin is actually biased in a way that it actually serves to harm women, rather than to protect them, by taking away safe and responsible means for the operation of their presence online, and forcing them onto the street to work for unscrupulous pimps who often motivate women to work for them by introducing them to addicting substances. Basically, the war on sin chases women out of their private workplaces and onto the streets, even protecting street prostitution in the process which puts women at risk by and large. Its hypocritical to attack one that protects women and their rights and gives them an avenue to earn an honest living and pay for education, while protecting the other that basically  seeks to enslave women, making them beholden to an addictive substance in order to motivate them to turn tricks. 


Payment processing is used by street operations of this nature. As I stated, by small hotels (not all hotels) and in some cases by independently owned fast food restaurants where an employee compromises the trust of the business owner by running payments through the restaurant's merchant account, while charging a payment fee for handling this processing, and this has been a factor in such operations previously, and certainly known by the companies that handle payment processing. 


To target responsible adult women online who are running safely and responsibly, or adult performers is to put women at risk overall, by more and more reducing their avenues for earning a living, eventually forcing them into situations where they might find themselves at the mercy of someone far less scrupulous who ultimately puts them at risk. The more this effort to attack online adult operations of that nature increases the demand experienced by street operations, hence leading to a higher demand for street workers of that nature, which puts more women at risk.


It took me a long time to come to this conclusion, and that after understanding the problem from many angles, not directly from personal experience mind you, but rather, seeing communities with widespread street prostitution and women with substance depency issues being motivated to work under the pimps who provided them with those substances. Their sex work was often the means by which they paid for such substances. The risks compared to women in those circumstances, and those operating online are enormous. There are virtually no risks for women who exploit themselves online, while women who operate on the streets and have issues with substance abuse live a constant high risk life struggle.


The recent attack against my person over the weekend seems to have been conducted by those friendly to the war on sin, and possibly an attempt to provoke a reaction from me that could later be used to imply that I have mental health issues, or substance dependency issues or other factors involved where it concerns publishing rants in response to social attacks against my person by such groups. Their methods are to attack, provoke a response, and then use coordinated social media responses and colour symbolism to attack my response, or my personal life in some way shape or form. To other influencers who stand at risk of similar attacks upon their person, please take this intelligence under advisement to protect yourselves and your personal life. I'm pretty resilient, but the beatings that I take are on an entirely different level than those that others would receive. If I'm reacting, then chances are it would have completely destroyed someone else had they been subject to the same thing.


I created Shhhh! Digital Media for the purpose of telling stories more so than anything, but I found from my experiences of running several blogs, that something like this can be a very effective place to post editorials and essays on sensitive topics that can really make a difference, by having the courage to challenge social norms in the interest of advancing the rights of those who've found a safe haven from which to earn a living online, or at the very least, to contribute to it in a meaningful way.


Its taken me many years to get to the point where I could discuss such matters, and the learning experience has been a road unto itself. I myself used to be the kind of person who'd use the idea that women scantily clad in cheesy online pornographic photos or videos, were themselves being exploited by men who had a much better grasp on the technology side of things, without ever really considering the fact that those women, and their business collaborators, were often contributing to responsible and safe means for adults to earn a living while furthering the rights of women, as the number one right that most women still lack, is the complete autonomy of their own body as adults.


Attacking online sexuality was, and still is a very basic way for some men with their own issues to lock horns assumedly with other men, whom they assumed are exploiting those women, but in reality its just a hidden means by which one man elevates himself above another, while pushing the other man down and painting themself to be protecting women, when in fact, by standing against their rights as adults to exploit themselves on their own terms in accordance with the law, they were basically denying women of their rights while pushing another man down who was in a way that was difficult for most men to see, advancing women's rights. However, that doesn't mean that every man that helped women develop an online presence and brand wasn't thinking of themselves and how they could exploit the situation to make a living, while the woman was essentially the one powering the whole enterprise all along. Look at Hugh Hefner or Bob Guccione, both of whom got extremely wealthy. They weren't harming women. They just opened doors that nobody realized existed and as a result, themselves made a lot of money. 


Their attitudes towards women were also notable as well. A partnership with women, rather than the man basically parading his protection of her as chivalry, when in fact its just another form of dominance and preventing her from realizing her own future and rights, and certainly not realizing her own  confidence with her body, and her intellect and ingenuity. I hate to say it, but I used to be the kind of man who'd assert his protectiveness as chivalry, but really was using it to elevate myself and push the kind of men down who had already learned that their relationship with women was a partnership. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy that aspect of being assertive and confident, but in a way that doesn't block her light or prevent us from working together as equals. However, all things Butterfly Dragon and Tales of the Sanctum, I have final say until I'm working with that female partner.


My point essentially is that it took time and life experience to arrive at this junction in life, and it was a very difficult process to grow to understand it. Some might say that I haven't grown, seeing as instead of accusing men of exploiting women online, I'm now accusing men of exploiting women in the streets by making them work as hookers. I beg to differ though, as I've seen it first hand and understand it quite well, but in all honesty, it takes two to tango, and not all pimps are men as much so as the people who get women dependent upon a substance to motivate them to turn tricks are not all men either. Some might argue that street prostitution is another partnership, but I completely disagree. If it was, then the risk of violence, disease, addiction, theft would be shared equally by all those involved and that is not the case. Most if not all of those risks are shouldered by the women turning the tricks. In the case of  responsible online exploitation, its a real partnership. 


If in the past, in my ignorance of these facts, I wrongly assessed the honesty and merit of those who twenty or thirty years ago, were pioneering online adult content in a responsible and safe manner in accordance with the law, I sincerely and most humbly apologize. Perhaps if I had fully understood the motivations that most men would use to justify standing against such ideas as actually being another form of dominance and oppression, I can't help but think how much further ahead things might actually be with regard to women's rights on that avenue. I suppose that things unfolded exactly as they should have, and that eventually, I came to understand the truth of the matter and can now see it for what it is.


On one hand, its easy publicity for religious war on sin charities looking to make a name for themselves by targeting honest and responsible women who've chosen to exploit themselves as adults to earn an honest living and to remain healthy and happy doing so, as much so as it is in its appearances, an easy path to earning money for women who want to give up on their plans for higher education and instead want an easy way to earn a living.


I'd say that in both of those cases, that the people involved aren't or haven't fully considered their options, or their motivations which in both cases are seemingly "easy money".


I'd honestly push for adult women to look towards education and furthering their present and future potential before taking steps to invest in their online sexual brand. I'm sure that it takes a lot of dedication and work to build such a presence, so it pays to examine all of your options. Besides, such avenues are safe enough and assuming that you protect your online identity by insulating it from your real life identity (like a superhero perhaps), you can always do both. Just don't throw your education away. As we get older, our bodies, especially if we don't care for them, tend to change in ways that might whittle away at our self confidence, perhaps taking you away from the height of the market potential for views, but there are still many who appreciate and admire women as they get older. Like a bottle of fine wine. Fine wine however, has many complex flavours working together, so don't throw your education away, and explore many avenues that might open other doors in your future and give you variety in your life.


When I was a kid, corner stores used to have magazine shelves, and at the very top, where they were out of reach of children and generally hidden, were the adult magazines (those published by Hugh Hefner and Bob Guccione, who pioneered many of the ideas about which I'm speaking). Generally, the idea was that you had to ask the store owner to get those magazines that were sexualized, and so there was a general understanding that content was where such attention should be directed, rather than at the girl on the Food and Dinner magazine cover. Today's metaphor would be that adult sites online are the top shelf in the magazine store, while other sites that offer general interest content are like the shelves that everyone can access. I generally am saying that the kind of attention I give online content, is dependent upon which of those shelves I find it. In other words, there's no predatory behaviour from me at all with regard to online content, and I never direct sexual attention towards any shelves but the top ones.


Content on Shhhh! Digital Media will remain as it has thus far, though I have been slowly introducing mature content into some of the story lines. In such storylines and episodes, I will always accompany such posts with a mature content warning. Shhhh! Digital Media content is intended for a mature audience.


I've got to get myself prepared for the backlash, which will arrive in about thirty hours, though I'll probably have the backlash from yesterday's rant to deal with today. There's a few ruffians down the street from my home office who are already getting an early start on the harassment.

If I'm recovered from the most recent attack, then I will work on new content, though I won't at this point guarantee anything. I will guarantee however that I'll be busy with the development of other aspects of the Shhhh! Digital Media brand.


Again, my post yesterday was not made under the influence of narcotics as I don't use any narcotics at all. I don't even smoke. As well, I'm not mentally ill, but I'd never stigmatize someone who really struggles with such issues. I'm a European Canadian male, and its a hate crime to replace a person's identity in order to replace their gender, culture or religion or any other aspect of their identity that is protected by the law. My own love interest is Southeast Asian, though she's not Filipino with all due respect and finally, I'm an Atheist that leans toward Buddhism and Taoism. I'm not a security guard and never have been. I'm not a member of the Salvation Army and never have been. I am not a member of any cult that would use colour symbolism to replace a person's identity in order to replace their gender, culture or religion or any other aspect of their identity that is protected by the law. I am not Terence, and I've never been incarcerated in jail or prison. I'm not on the blue team or the brown team with all due respect. I don't play guitar and I've never owned a guitar.


Last but not least, nobody is controlling me, except for me, and I'm Brian Joseph Johns. My photograph is at the bottom of this post.

Thank you for reading my content.

Have a great day :-)
