“Just pixels on a screen”
What is wrong with you?
- bondarchuk 5mo 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 5mo 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 5mo 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 5mo 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 5mo agoThat is a problem with US society. One that deep fakes can solve by allowing plaslsible deniability for any image or video.
