Oh geez… I haven’t been to Reddit in a few years. Having that be the draw or main aspect of the subreddit just seems really weird.
I can see this being more prominent the closer someone was to their peak, like someone who passed in their 20s or 30s. It’s a sad outcome of our times.
From what I remember it was mostly a control-over-their-body thing. “Ha, I can make porn of you and you can’t stop me” sorta deal. Deeply horrible, though I did just check and it looks like it’s either been taken down or I can’t find it, so there’s that…!
There’s plenty of places catering to that main version like you said. It’s been possible to do this video editing for decades, but the speed and customization feels like it’ll fuck society in unique and horrible ways. You can take a few banal photos & generate hardcore porn.
I’m not a big fan of making shit illegal, but it feels like there should be some consequences to generating this content without consent, especially when distributed. You could turn someone into a porn star with enough time & effort.
I’ve been swayed towards advocating that people should automatically hold the copyright over images of their own appearance - by no means a great solution, but it would work to combat the vast majority of extreme creep behavior until we can figure out something better
Only problem is when dealing with things like, what happens when a cop demands to bury all videos of his police brutality scandal etc… Bottom line 90% of time when the pressure hits enough, the words don’t do it justice. Especially when the cops release the report using past exonorative tense etc… to describe things in way that downplay and obfuscate what happened.
Public figures (oversimplification) already forgo copyright on their name and image, that’s why you can buy things like halloween costumes of trump & fat vance. You could also include language to prevent extending copyright protections in cases of things like “recording criminal activity” (i.e. security cameras or similar) in the context of reporting that activity.
