And now I feel like I need to take a shower. Ugh.
Deepfake pornography is super goony but if I had to look for a silver lining, at least nobody had to undergo the actual physical degradation of making porn. It’s still gross in its own way, but it’s a different kind of gross that seems worse in some ways but better in others.
I don’t know… Am I off base here?
Ah, right, sorry. The first part of your comment makes it seem like you're leaning the other way.
I’m not sure if I feel strongly enough about it to have a consequential opinion either way but I’m trying to at least judge the situation objectively.
I think you raised a valid point. The non-consensual nature of deepfakes pushes it into the realm of abuse material and maybe that’s worse overall than the general exploitation of women going on in the adult film industry, even if those are supposed to be “consensual” on paper.
Judging by another comment here, non-consensual porn is far worse, and causing suicidal thoughts and more.
So I'd say it has all the "gross" of regular porn (which is subjective) and the additional "gross and horrifying" of violating someone.
