You just can't wrap your head around the concept can you? You think people's imaginations are damaging rather than the fact of the choices you dignity people make. The harm is done by you people. If you fire someone over shit that's made up, that's a you issue. If you can't believe that it's made up despite the same being done with your own likeness conflicting with your memory, then you're just stupid. If you're business fails because you're chasing people away, that's your fault. What random shit the other 8 billion people are communicating to each other on the Internet can only hurt you if you decide to do the damage yourself.
Get over yourself.
Shit that's made up based on someone else affects the person who's it based on. This is a basic concept that you are sure to have seen if you have a minimum of real world experience. It's not even like you could pass deepfake as parody, when the point is making it seem real. Not everyone will be able to know it's not real, and it will still be humilliating regardless. Pretending it's so easy to be unaffected by lies and harassment is hollow grandstanding. I can only assume nothing of the sort ever happened to you for you to act so nonchalant about it.
This isn't even about me, but you can't get yourself to think of anyone else, can you?
What's the mechanism of the deepfake affecting you? Oh right, garbage people with influence over you that they shouldn't have.
Get over yourself and cut the umbilical cord.
