Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
Now more than ever, we need Dr Ruth
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.
Like the churches.
We don't live in that world.
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.
