Schools and lawmakers are grappling with how to address a new form of peer-on-peer image-based sexual abuse that disproportionately targets girls.

    As a father of teenage girls, I don’t necessarily disagree with this assessment, but I would personally see to it that anyone making sexual deepfakes of my daughters is equitably and thoroughly punished.

      There is a difference between ruining the life of a 13 year old boy for the rest of his life with no recourse and no expectations.

      Vs scaring the shit out of them and making them work their ass off doing an ass load of community service for a summer.

        ruining the life of a 13 year old boy for the rest of his life with no recourse

        And what about the life of the girl this boy would have ruined?

        This is not “boys will be boys” shit. Girls have killed themselves over this kind of thing (I have personal experience with suicidal teenage girls, both as a past friend and as a father).

        I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect an equivalent punishment that has the potential to ruin his life.

      Yes, absolutely. But with recognition that a thirteen year old kid isn’t a predator but a horny little kid. I’ll let others determine what that punishment is, but I don’t believe it’s prison. Community service maybe. Written apology. Stuff like that. Second offense, ok, we’re ratcheting up the punishment, but still not adult prison.

        I did say equitable punishment. Equivalent. Whatever.

        A written apology is a cop-out for the damage this behaviour leaves behind.

        Something tells me you don’t have teenage daughters.
