Should deepfakes be allowed?

Should they be banned? Probably.

Personally I never found deepfakes all that appealing. I mean, I feel like you have to have a very specific liking to a celebrity to seek out fakes of them and I’ve just never had that. I think I might be more curious if fakes were of someone specific like my high school crush but I think that’d be even worse in terms of moral compass.

In terms of the whole embarrassment and hurt feelings about people seeing nudes of you, I’ve never really understood it but I do respect it and that’s why I think they should probably be banned.

Personally if my ex leaked nudes of me I wouldn’t really care. We all know I have a body beneath my clothes. And of course I have sex. And honestly there’s nothing I can do to stop you from imagining me while you rub one out or picturing me naked in a business meeting. I also would never feel bad if my boss told me they found my nudes because that’s just them admitting they looked for them. Imo being possessive over your own image and what you want people to see of you is a battle you’re always going to lose. But again, I respect the sentiment and the calls for banning it.

First, the content is neither illegal nor immoral unless it is presented as genuine. If it’s clearly marked as fake, as it always is any time I see it, then there are no moral or legal issues. Public figures have already consented to having their faces out there. They have no right to complain about how their images are being used unless it is to present a false premise (e.g. that the person in question has appeared in pornography).

Second, this is not a video sharing site. It’s a scripting site. The videos aren’t hosted here.

There’s nothing wrong with clearly-marked deepfake content.

Let’s frame this argument in a different light without the sex context :

Bob really hates his co-worker Mark. He has a fantasy of seeing Mark get kidnapped and murdered. He finds a violent movie scene where this happens and deepfakes Mark’s face into the scene. In the scene, Mark is bound and gagged, then bludgeoned, dismembered, and beheaded. Bob then proceeds to put this deepfake up on the internet and make it widely available to the public. Mark’s friends, family, and work all see it. Everybody knows it’s fake, but now Mark has to walk around wondering who made the video, why did they make it, who else besides the creator actually enjoyed it?

I still haven’t seen a single pro-deepfake argument in this thread that doesn’t boil down to “But I’m horny and I deserve to see whoever I want in a sexual scenario.”

@DocO I really doubt a small community of guys who own a machine that jerks them off have an agenda

Let’s put this in terms you can comprehend, your boss runs into you at the mall and says why are you wearing sneakers? And you ask him why tf does it matter to you in not at work. Like the gentleman above has stated this is a funscript site, it has nothing to do with videos. Like a vegan trying to make you vegan. Clearly there’s an agenda, it’s been stated rape theme and loli are fine, how insane. Not to mention this discussing has been open for less than a week, and they’ve already banned it. And do we need any other reason than it’s because it’s what I wanna watch?

If you want to just watch the videos then… just watch them and stop pretending like the celebrities agreed to be put into porn just by being famous. It’s super creepy to me that you try to convince everyone that they consented to that.

And what does this sneaker story has to do with the discussion. The sneakers are an item, not an actual person, they don’t have feelings. People commit suicides, because of things like deepfakes. In my opinion the decision about banning deepfake content is totally valid and necessary to protect the site.

Why is it that every time somebody tries engaging in something immoral and gets called out, they try to turn it into some argument about “muh freedumz” and how they are being unfairly punished by some secret “agenda”? There is no secret cabal operating in unison to rob you of your creepy, invasive porn. You aren’t the Jason Bourne of jerking off. There is no conspiracy. I’m just one random ass dude on the internet voicing his opinion on this matter.

If you don’t like that the mods have disallowed deepfake scripting to be shared on this site then go make your own community. Nobody’s forcing you to stay here.

I love how even though @hugecat posted the official mod decision on no deepfakes, this @hyn1 guy has gone around making a 2nd account to 1. circumvent his temp suspension and 2. started linking his PAID emma watson deepfake script despite being told not to.
