Don't you think it feels incredibly degrading and violating to have your face stitched into porn in a way that's supposed to be as realistic as possible? Without your consent?
Doesn't really matter if the video is real, the people who this is done to have not signed up for this. And you know people are jerking off to it. I don't doubt for a second that it's absolutely repulsive to see yourself in a deepfake porn.
A couple of popular streamers who have had that happened to them have reported feeling similar feelings of shame and violation to the way they felt when they experienced actual sexual assault. That's pretty alarming and should count for something, no?
Also, this gives a completely new dimension to parasocial relationships. There are lots of people struggling with real realtionships that find solace in live streams. As they continue to engage in the community, they can begin to feel like they have an actual relationship with those streamers, which is obviously dangerous since it's such a one-sided thing. Deepfake porn elevates this even further and makes it that much more likely for people to develop an unhealthy obsession with people that they will likely never meet, instead of working on their real interpersonal relationships.
