For the commenters saying people should just get over it: Imagine a similar fake was made of you. In it, you are shown to be performing sex acts your community and employer find objectionable. Would you want to be told to just get over it? Should women under threat of "honor killings" for perceived expression of sexuality or independence, just get over it? Or imagine you're faked into saying political opinions that are the opposite of what you believe? Opinions your peer group find abhorrent? Or you are faked into saying or doing something illegal? It's not just your reaction that affects the outcome.

> Imagine a similar fake was made of you This is always a non-starter if people have psycho-social or political motivation for their position. Though regardless, it's also a low bar. A healthy society should ideally consist of people who are capable of feeling sympathy for people who have feelings in response to things which the observer does not share.

Ok, imagine a similar fake is made of me. Imagine there is a link to it right below this comment. Are you going to go look at it? Sure, curiosity is a thing. Are you going to come back here and mock me? Are you going to tell me that my life is ruined? That I am worthless now? Are you saying that is an appropriate and reasonable response to seeing a nude picture of someone? Do you think that is what people should do to you if a similar picture of you surfaced online?
