QTCinderella has vowed to sue a porn site, which posted videos depicting deepfakes of her and several other streamers engaging in sexual activities without their consent.
Popular content creators Pokimane, Sweet Anita, and Maya Higa, who runs a podcast with QTCinderella, are among the other victims of these elaborate fake videos.
The deepfake porn site in question has gained notoriety overnight, because Atrioc, another big streamer on Twitch, was caught using it in a clip that quickly went viral. He has since apologized for this behavior and claimed that he “got morbidly curious” after getting an ad for the site, so he visited and even paid for using it.
QTCinderella went live on her own stream after watching Atrioc’s apology and condemned the abuse of her and her fellow streamers’ likenesses for these purposes. She also criticized Atrioc for highlighting the website to an audience of thousands, reporting that she’s now being harassed by users sending her deepfake images of herself engaging in sexual activities.
Atrioc has come under fire after it was revealed that he visited a pornographic website which sells deepfakes of fellow content creators.
Such websites usually create and distribute these photos without the consent of the person pictured, and as deepfakes remain widely unregulated there’s not much victims can do about it.
Ethan Klein was watching Twitch streamer Blaire "QTCinderella's" emotional broadcast, in which she burst into tears while discussing the recent deepfake streamer controversy. When the former saw the latter cry on stream, he made fun of the situation and burst out laughing.
