It has the power to deceive and leave a lasting impression on those who may see it in passing and not realize its fake. Also, it can be demeaning considering the faked subjects would have no say consent-wise in the distribution of the faked content. Think of what happened with Hulk Hogan, who had a sex tape released without his permission. Though it was real, it left a lasting impression on a given audience, and it tarnished his reputation (further), and he successfully sued because, iirc, the video was “leaked” without his consent.
