Agree with everything in your comment. Also want to throw in a plug for the movement to stop using the term “child pornography.” Porn is generally legal, and can be a legitimate job for producers and a harmless pastime for consumers. (Insert all the usual caveats and qualifications here.) Anything involving children,…

It’s a real bummer when you read an article about something that is this creepy and causes so much genuine grief for women (not just “celebrities” but also people just trying to make a living doing a thing they love), and then you get to the comments and immediately get those fucking stupid “who?” comments or people…

The point isn’t to prevent the thing from existing - the point is to remove it from everyday society and protect ordinary people from harm.

Big difference between writing a story and digitally putting your face onto a porn stars body in a video. 

I dunno - put out some deepfake gay porn of some of the most influential male senators and CEOs, see how quickly they find ways to stop it.

Agreed. It’s very gross.

You cared enough to click on the article AND leave comment. You have to admit that you give at least a small fraction of a fuck. Otherwise you just would have ignored the article and gone about your day.

This is only going to get worse. Federal legislation didn’t stop software, tv, movie, game, music, or AV piracy, and it won’t stop this. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try but I don’t think it will stop deepfakes at all.

She has to either see it herself to do anything about it or else be like “hey, can you look at all these videos of me getting blasted in the face by ten guys?” to someone else. Obviously she isn’t sitting there being forced to stare at it for the full length of the video, but she’s going to see something, even if just…

But what would the song be?

Deepfake shit really needs to be legislated around. That’s functionally identity theft at the very least when using real people, in addition to being kinda super really fucked up.

If not, we can just hack our Switchs so they run better or just use an emulator...NINTENDO!

Nah. You’ll have to wait for the port to Super switch.

(it won’t)

Was working at the Gumby’s in Champaign in 1991 when we first brought out the POKEY STIX! Wasn’t much to it really, our dough was as basic as you can get, but MAN, every order we’d get would include the Pokey Stix, even today if I mention it to someone from around there they get all misty-eyed. Gumby’s was the perfect…

He had the top comment on the recent JK Rowling article:

You defo read the responses, you’re just a coward who decided to preempt your lack of reply 😊

I appreciate the fact that you tell everyone off the bat that you know you’re baiting.

You’re “only joking”, the internet’s most impenetrable defense (🙄🙄🙄), so I’m walking into a land mine here, but... There’s a difference between continuing to support a known piece of shit and having supported in the past a person newly discovered to be a piece of shit. Obviously.

And speaking of how much you care about notifications, did you miss that the first two replies to your last bigoted comment got more notifications than you did?
