In the last week or so, 10 out of the 25 most popular cameos using my face are various fetishes, including one where I’m a centaur-woman pregnant with octoplets. It’s not just me, either. I’ve seen this kind of content made with cameos of other women: female creators, another woman tech reporter, and a female employee of a prominent venture-capital firm.
**I don’t get why anyone is surprised **
She consented to something but didn’t consider/understand what that something implies. While it might be obvious for terminally online people, most people don’t expect “cameos” to necessarily mean “fetish porn cameos”.
What else would it mean? That’s the kind of content the internet creates.
You may have spent too much of your lifetime on the internet if you think that this should be common knowledge, haha
(I say that as someone who probably fits into that category)
Haha fair enough. Although I didn’t mean that specifically, just weird sexual content in general.
If someone expects content moderation or the other safeguards you have in large parts of the internet it might come as a surprise that a large platform allows fetish porn content to be made with “cameos”.
Tbh, the word itself is super vague and ambiguous and doesn’t reflect what it means in this context.
I assume many people just live in a sanitized, sterile internet created by Google/Meta et al. They might have never encountered the gooner/pervert culture before. Again, when most people see “cameo” their mind doesn’t jump to “fetish porn cameo”. As such, I don’t think there was real consent here.
so… she’s stupid?
