Why would it make revenge porn less of a thing? Why are so many people here convinced that as long people say it’s “fake” it’s not going to negatively affect them?
The mouth breathers will never go away. They might even use the excuse the other way around, that because someone could say just about everything is fake, then it might be real and the victim might be lying. Remember that blurry pictures of bigfoot were enough to fool a lot of people.
Hell, even others believe it is fake, wouldn’t it still be humilliating?
I think you’re underestimating the potential effects of an entire society starting to distrust pictures/video. Yeah a blurry Bigfoot fooled an entire generation, but nowadays most people you talk to will say it’s doctored. Scale that up to a point where literally anyone can make completely realistic pics/vids of anything in their imagination, and have it be indistinguishable from real life? I think there’s a pretty good chance that “nope, that’s a fake picture of me” will be a believable, no question response to just about anything. It’s a problem
There are still people to believe in Bigfoot and UFOs, there’s still people falling for hoaxes every day. To the extent that distrust is spreading, it’s not manifested as widespread reasonable skepticism but the tendency to double down on what people already believe. There are more flat earthers today than there were decades ago.
We are heading to a point that if anyone says deepfake porn is fake, regardless of reasons and arguments, people might just think it’s real just because they feel like it might be. At this point, this isn’t even a new situation. Just like people skip reputable scientific and journalistic sources in favor of random blogs that validate what they already believe, they will treat images, deepfaked or not, much in the same way.
So, at best, some people might believe the victim regardless, but some won’t no matter what is said, and they will treat them as if those images are real.
This strikes me as correct, it’s kind of more complicated than just the blanket statement of “oh, everyone will have too calloused of a mind to believe anything ever again”. People will just try to intuit truth from surrounding context in a vacuum, much like how they do with our current every day reality where I’m really just a brain in a vat or whatever.
I hope someone sends your mom a deepfake of you being dismembered with a rusty saw. I’m sure the horror will fade with time.
What a horrible thing to wish on a random person on the internet. Maybe take a break on being so reactionary, jesus
