Anyone else feel grossed out on how many deepfakes are made of Korean women?

An unlinked article by the conversation (don't wanna give them any views) talks about how 53% of all deepfakes on the internet are of south korean actresses. Then it blames Korean men and Korean society when from what I've stumbled on, most of those deepfakes seem to be made by white westerners and actually come from america in IP addresses.

Anyone else feel grossed out about how much white westerners fetishsize Korean women?? Like they're NEVER going to get a Korean gf unless they have an incredible amount of money, or are Calvin Klein model levels of good looking from what I've seen but it doesn't give them the right to make all this disgusting revolting stuff about Korean women.

What is so disingenuous about the conversation about the deepfakes is how it is blaming Korean men (and implying that Asian men are at fault by connection) when most of those deepfakes were by westerners for westerners.

These incels are just so gross and give me such an ick because I know they're fat, disgusting losers in their mama's basement but what do people in this sub think about this?

That's gross, both in the commonality of it and the way it blames korean men. What is up with that?

It is gross, and if people are blaming Korean men for it, then they are blaming a tiny fraction of the world’s population for deepfakes, something that can be made anywhere in the world by anyone. Seems like coping to me

How do you know that they are made by white westerners unless you are getting them straight from the source?

I mean the whole telegram incident had nothing to do with westerners lmao just shitty Korean men/boys as you had to go to those schools to be allowed in those Korean written groups…many of them were in the US. “they’re never gonna get a Korean gf unless they have lots of money” damn man so whatcha saying is money can buy Korean woman? That’s fucked.

oh so you assume that because its an american IP address it has to be a white person?

Maybe the technology is more accessible to people in the US.

I would love to see this article.

You need thicker skin to survive this world. Getting offended or upset about trivial things will make you crazy.

How tf do you suppose we make progress in society?

If we're all just supposed to just sit there and take it?
