These are teenage girls, not adult men. This isn’t graffiti, but highly realistic sexual depictions. There’s a massive difference.

- bondarchuk 4mo agoNevertheless there is almost a moral equivocation between images of sex and actual sex by some people. We are talking about restraining someone physically inside a 2 by 3 meter box for multiple years as a retribution for what is after all just pixels on a screen. (And by the way the implicit comparison here between an image of stalin and an image of a teenage girl is more apt than most would care to admit given the ideological function fulfilled by sexualized images of young women in contemporary American society)
- numbsafari 4mo ago“Just pixels on a screen” What is wrong with you?
- bondarchuk 4mo agoIsn't it true? You are reacting to me with a fervor that lends its intensity from the moral values around actual physical sex with actual minors, but nothing of that kind occured here.
- ChoGGi 4mo agoTo you, it might be pixels on a screen, to someone else it's their life and dignity. It wouldn't be the first time a high-schooler killed themself over bullying.
- noosphr 4mo agoAnd to a good Stalinist it was the dignity of the USSR. Something millions died to protect in the great patriotic war. Again, symbolic violence is worse than real violence to a lot of people.
- Jordan-117 4mo agoThe point is that these images are so realistic that it's difficult to tell they're fake. Your weird Soviet analogy is not remotely the same thing -- making a teenage girl think that everyone in her life has seen her expose herself sexually and done things she hadn't really done is personally humiliating and devastating in a way scrawling some political heresy about a public figure is obviously not. Kids have literally committed suicide over shit like this.
- noosphr 4mo agoThat is a problem with US society. One that deep fakes can solve by allowing plaslsible deniability for any image or video.
- orwin 4mo agoYeah, 'pixel on a screen'. I will send deepfake video of your daughter (or sister, or mother) having sex to you, let's see how they appreciate it. It's only pixels after all. Or picture of you having sex to your friends, SO and parents, that's probably fine. I don't have sex in front of my friends and family for a reason, and I would appreciate my privacy protected by the state. And yes, privacy breach of this magnitude is probably worth 2-3 years (which basically means nothing for the first offense, let's be realistic, but makes the second offense way more consequencial).
