Not really.
> And you know people are jerking off to it.
Why would I care what you're jerking off to? Maybe it's thoughts of me. Maybe it's photoshopped pictures of me. Maybe it's a deepfake video of me. But unless you phone me up in the middle of the night to tell me about it (i.e. harassment), I couldn't care less.
"Ah but what if someone emailed your grandma with a video of you having sex with ten guys" - well yeah, that would be bad but it would be bad if they emailed my grandma with a poem about the same. The harm there would be the intent to harass not some psychic damage caused by you creating images.
>A couple of popular streamers who have had that happened to them have reported feeling similar feelings of shame and violation to the way they felt when they experienced actual sexual assault. That's pretty alarming and should count for something, no?
It's bad that they had those feelings, yes. But feeling shame for what someone else does with your image is clearly irrational. Understandable maybe but I'm not sure we should making public policy on whether someone feels icky about something.
