I fundamentally disagree.

It is reductio ad absurdum applied correctly. I made a completely absurd proposal, because the response is obvious - any consideration of "fake porn being fake" will stop mattering super fast once actual faces are put in the picture.

I dispute that I made any personal attack.





Invoking the image of someone's loved ones and then imposing a vicious scene on top of it is a way of inflicting pain on that person. That kind of violation is certainly a personal attack. It's actually a harsher kind of personal attack than attacking the individual in the narrow sense.

You can't do that here and we ban such accounts, so please refrain.

p.s. it's also a text-based way of doing the very thing you're inveighing against, so it's not in your interest to argue that way.


I believe that this is critically important for the people who seem to have no regard for other women who are being harassed at scale via these tools.
