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 **
I’ve allowed anyone to make “cameos” using my face. (You don’t have to do this: You can choose settings that make your likeness private, or open to just your friends — but I figured, why not? …)
Maybe because of this shit? A learning experience, I guess.
If an option exists that nobody should ever choose, why is it an option? In what situation would this option ever make sense?
In a situation where someone doesn’t understand the implications and a corporation can make money of their misfortune. That pretty much describes most of social media.
