quote [ Reddit follows several other platforms that have already banned deepfakes pornography. That includes Gfycat, Discord, and recently Pornhub, which said that deepfakes imagery counted as nonconsensual pornography. ]
Followup to this post. This ruling applies not only to video, but also GIFs and even still images. The subreddit for photoshopping celebrities which has existed for seven years and had some 50,000+ subscribers was banned today without warning.

Executing people for being gay is a choice a culture makes. Sacrificing a young girl to black magic is a choice. A village ordering rape of a girl is a choice. And going to the moon was a choice.

These are all examples of choices made by distinct cultures. They may be isolated examples of what cultures will produce but they come from long lines of development into distinct manifestations of a culture's beliefs and values.

I support bringing people from all cultures to the United States. However, they should all remember there were reasons why they absconded from their homes. This is one of the many reasons I supported Trump. He, however inarticulately, was willing to stand up to the Leftist equalist narrative and get people to talking about whether or not we want to have everything that comes with unbridled immigration.

Extended edit for anecdotes: One of my business partners is from India; his family moved here when he was very young for economic opportunity. One of the failings he cites about his home country is rampant corruption. "Black Money" is the business culture of India. To be fair; Modi is trying to change that but that's another topic. An old girlfriend from Jamaica once told me as an American in her country you should always travel with $200 in cash so that you could buy your way out of any police altercation. Just try that in the US and see where it lands you. Again, these are ways that cultures have organized themselves that end up with inferior results to the Western world.
