“Make her be chained to the bed, crying, legs apart. Make sure to use her real face.”

That is a real prompt. Written openly on X. Used with Grok.

And it’s just one line among many in the recent surge of men using AI to generate deepfake p*rnographic images of real women online. Which, to be clear, is just one chapter in the very NOT-new reality of men being absolutely vile online.

What’s new here isn’t misogyny.It’s the scale, the speed, and the plausible deniability.

Let’s be clear: there is no shortage of sexual content on the internet. Finding p*rn is trivial. Effortless. Infinite.

These men are not looking for sexual material. They are choosing to create it against women’s wishes. They are using real faces because those faces belong to real women who did not consent.

The non-consent IS the point.

A 2021 study found that 90–95% of all online deepfakes were non-consensual p*rnographic images, and that around 90% of them depict women. A more recent study found that Deepfake p*rnography makes up 98% of all deepfake videos online, and that 99% of the individuals targeted in deepfake p*rnography are women.

And still, the response is to interrogate women’s behaviour.
If women didn’t want this, they shouldn’t have posted photos of themselves online that men can use. It’s the same song we’ve heard before, back when women subjected to revenge p*rn were told they “shouldn’t have taken those photos” if they didn’t want them leaked.

The logic is depressingly consistent. Women’s visibility is framed as provocation, while male violence is treated as an inevitability.

Calling this “AI misuse” is a convenient lie. What we’re seeing is old behaviour amplified by new infrastructure. AI sure didn’t create misogyny. It just automated it. It removed friction and scaled it.

Which is why platform responsibility cannot stop at content moderation after the fact. If you are building generative technology, or honestly any technology, and you are not asking how this could be used to hurt women, you are not doing due diligence.

Because if there is a way to hurt women, men will find it.

Women don’t need better advice. We need limits, enforcement, and platforms willing to take responsibility for what they enable.

Misogyny isn’t new.
If anything, it’s getting rather f*cking old.
