        i think the nude isn’t really the actual issue, it’s people gossiping about it and saying you’re a slut for doing things you didn’t do

              And they’ve been gossiping and calling each other sluts forever. Depending on the social group, just the accusation alone is enough to harass someone, because kids are idiots, and because it’s not even about people believing the accusation is true. The accusation is just a way for a bully to signal to their followers that the target is one of the group’s designated scapegoats.

              I can’t believe I’m about to recommend a teen comedy as a source of educational material, but you should check out the movie Mean Girls if you want to see an illustration of how this kind of bullying works. It’s also pretty funny.

      I’m pretty squeamish about nudity when it comes to my own body, but fake nudes would not be pictures of my body, so I don’t see what there would be for me to be upset about. It might be different if everyone thought they were real, but if people haven’t figured out yet any nudes they encounter of someone they know are probably fake, they will soon.

      Here’s a thought experiment: imagine a world where there are fake nudes of everyone available all the time Would everyone just be devastated all the time? Would everyone be a target of ridicule over it? Would everyone be getting blackmailed? We’re probably going to be in that world very soon, and I predict everyone will just get over it and move on. Sharing fake nudes will reflect badly on the person doing it and no one else, and people who make them for their own enjoyment will do so in secret because they don’t want to be seen as a creepy loser.
