It should, but high-quality fakes trick a large chunk of the population. As such, they ought to be treated in the same way as other non-consensual content

I would say that appearing in a porn movie should not affect your life at all, whether real or fake.

It's not just porn; you can deep fake pretty much anything, including racist rants and criminal acts.

That's a nice culture shift to push for but it's not where we're at. It could also be nice to have a society where nobody really has a great attachment to material things so you can just borrow your neighbors lawnmower or car and it's no big deal at all. We don't live in that society either so we have laws against theft.

It depends of who gets to see it.

it can affect everything in your life.

It shouldn’t. People are ingrained to be prudes.

Imagine watching porn (as most people do, or have done in their life) and condemning the actors. I for one am very happy that people are doing the job.

To star in a porn movie. I personally wouldn't have a problem with it, but i know that my family and friends wouldn't even try to understand or just ignore it, they would just see the "dirty" word porn and panic. They would panic, because suddenly they feel forced to confront themselves with the world that is behind the word.

Ooh, I love this argument.

"I'm an atheist so I'm above the 2.4 billion religious people on the planet"

No, people are not 'ingrained to be prudes'. They have values, and those values are manipulated by people in positions of power.

This is completely fucked up - neighbors filmed me in my own apartment and apparently also played around, deepfaking the footage of me on my bed watching TV to something where i do i don't know what.

Some neighbors have informed me, but i never myself saw anything.

By the way a lot of neighbors look at me, it must be pretty bad.

I don't know if i even want to see it and also i don't know what to do, because i don't know who made it.

It all started a few years ago and from what i heard, it was initiated by neighbors that don't like people that smoke weed. Since i worked from home since from before COVID, neighbors started talking about me. Wondering if i grow weed at home and that kind of stuff.

I had neighbors stalking me, hiding behind trees and observing .... pretty deranged

God this is ridiculous, sorry to hear you have to deal with such idiotic bullshit.

Thanks and yeah, sometimes people around you are not nice, but you can't let yourself down in such a situation. It's hard to ignore the noise, but there are more important things to do, more important things happening in life.

Things that really matter.

This is horrifying. I really hope it's just the weed making you paranoid

I thought it would be, when it began...

Edit: tbh i stopped telling friends or family about it, because they all said the same thing "some less, it must be paranoia".

It's unbelievable, that such dynamics exist in a community. It's as unbelievable as Trump existing and so many people hearing his words and deciding to follow his lead.

Ah, the other thing my neighbors seem to have a massive problem with, is sexuality. I had a drunken neighbor stand in front of my window, screaming "you fucking fag, i'll kill you".

I'm not even gay. That was a real mind bender.

I think because I'm not the typical male doing male stuff. They can't categorize me, so i must be one the "gays" in their little heads.

In this scenario, that seems well worth pressing charges. You’re describing a harassment campaign that is well beyond anything ok. Even if you’d normally disregard a drunken fool, he knows something. If for no other reason press charges to see if you can find out wtf

It only happened one time, i was in the kitchen and when i reached the window, be was already going down the street. I really couldn't see who that was...

Edit: The drunken guy screaming, that happened only once.

I hate that people are so stupid they'll form an opinion of someone based on evidence that's extremely easy to fake, or no evidence at all. And then they'll hold on to that opinion for dear life even when the dearth of real evidence is pointed out to them.
