The convergence of BAVFAKES, Fan-Topia, and the Atrioc controversy has spurred a massive pushback from tech companies, legal systems, and the creator community itself.

QTCinderella, whose real name is Blaire, was arguably the most outspoken victim. After learning that Atrioc—a personal friend—had viewed deepfakes of her, she went live in tears. “To the person that made that website, I’m going to f***ing sue you,” she vowed.
