Most people wouldn't punch you because of a banana but most people would judge you for appearing in porn. However much you might say "fuck them", the one most likely to get fucked, ironically enough, is you. There are people who get fired over it. It's bad enough to be treated in such way if you choose to engage in it, it's even worse if you didn't even actually do it.

I guess the situation is more like someone dangling a banana between you and the guy who's likely to punch you.

What really should happen is a very thorough widespread PSA campaign across all media including social media itself to educate parents about the risks of social media and how to set up filters so that children don't get to access just about anything on the internet.

Of course, but this is what makes me wonder, if there was anything truly objectionable happening, wouldn't they have been taken down already? It's not like this was a surprise release.

What you call them might not change how others treat you for it.

There are still people to believe in Bigfoot and UFOs, there's still people falling for hoaxes every day. To the extent that distrust is spreading, it's not manifested as widespread reasonable skepticism but the tendency to double down on what people already believe. There are more flat earthers today than there were decades ago.

We are heading to a point that if anyone says deepfake porn is fake, regardless of reasons and arguments, people might just think it's real just because they feel like it might be. At this point, this isn't even a new situation. Just like people skip reputable scientific and journalistic sources in favor of random blogs that validate what they already believe, they will treat images, deepfaked or not, much in the same way.

So, at best, some people might believe the victim regardless, but some won't no matter what is said, and they will treat them as if those images are real.

It's incredibly common for people not on social media to have friends and family member who are on social media.

Today? I wouldn't say that so confidently (on Lemmy even). People working in media and marketing do have to use it. Even if they aren't in it, it doesn't mean they are immune to such a thing happening, or that people they know won't stumble on it.

Yeah, but it's still humilliating for everyone involved, nevermind the additional harassment that might bring.

Frankly, folks saying "everyone will just start assuming all porn is fake and nobody will mind it anymore" are just deluding themselves. I dunno if they want it to turn out like this so they won't have to worry about the ethics of the matter, but that's not how people behave.

Social media is not known for keeping things contained.

Absolutely. It's not like they are incapable of decent original design. Daedream is cute and Depresso is funny as hell.

Florida has been banning books talking about racism and LGBT people from school library. I guarantee to you, this is not about preventing anyone from becoming extremist fuckers.

When it comes to Florida, sounds about right.
