Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Chat I think we're in the bad place

YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new AI video generator tool, Veo, according to a watermark included in the bottom right corner of the videos.

The channel, named Woman Shot A.I, started on June 20, 2025. It posted 27 videos, had over 1,000 subscribers, and had more than 175,000 views, according to the channel’s publicly available data.

violence against women

All the videos posted by the channel follow the exact same formula. The nearly photo-realistic videos show a woman begging for her life while a man with a gun looms over her. Then he shoots her. Some videos have different themes, like compilations of video game characters like Lara Croft being shot, “Japanese Schoolgirls Shot in Breast,” “Sexy HouseWife Shot in Breast,” “Female Reporter Tragic End,” and Russian soldiers shooting women with Ukrainian flags on their chest.

“The AI I use is paid, per account I have to spend around 300 dollars per month, even though 1 account can only generate 8-second videos 3 times,” the channel’s owner wrote in a public post on YouTube. “So, imagine how many times I generate a video once I upload, I just want to say that every time I upload a compilation consisting of several 8-second clips, it’s not enough for just 1 account.”

Woman Shot A.I’s owner claimed they have 10 accounts. “I have to spend quite a lot of money just to have fun,” they said.

AI bubble please burst

what-the-hell

I'm not irony poisoned enough to know whether or not the folks downthread saying, "Yes, getting a boner over murdering women is a cool and good fetish, stop being a reactionary!" are serious or not. And, quite frankly, I don't want to know.

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

men jorking it to murder porn of women is cool and normal, if you don't agree you are a kinkshamer and a victorian moralist from the 1800s. i didn't know this was the party line on hexagonalursine.internet but good to know i guess

Capitalism is so efficient and normal

Well, the Youtube community is grossly misogynist, so you can't say they don't know their audience

It's gonna be barbarism isn't it

Seems like snuff kink to me. Shouldn't be on youtube because it's basically porn to these people but while it's shocking I don't think there is a problem with the AI being able to generate it. In particular because "woman gets shot" is a perfectly fine scene to have in a wider piece, plenty of movies have an 8 second scene of a woman getting shot so if it's ever going to be used for any legitimate art (lol) then preventing the AI from making it would just neuter the creative possibilities the AI has. We don't stop other artists from making shocking content, we shouldn't prevent AI from doing it.

What we should prevent is kink content on youtube though. Keep it in the niche holes where it's difficult to find and won't shock people by merely existing, alongside vore, scat and all the others that don't require any nudity but everyone understands they're still pornographic content that the vast majority of people find either shocking or visceral disgust at.

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Kinks are weird. I know a guy who's really into vore art, but in real life he's an outspoken vegan.

look this may be a wild take but I do not in fact think people should be allowed to share snuff films anywhere on the internet, simulated or not. I mean I assume you understand this take isn't okay with simulated csam, right? Snuff films are not in fact more acceptable than CP.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The two aren't comparable. It is perfectly acceptable to show people being killed on mainstream TV shows and movies. Child abuse is something that is only ever implied, never depicted directly. One is clearly more taboo than the other.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (6 children)

So if someone puts up a bunch of clips from movies of people being killed should we take those down too?

How long does a clip have to be before it crosses the threshold from being snuff to being a movie scene? What other criteria must it meet?

I mean this seriously. Because this is a very real barrier you're going to run into when dealing with this. I assume you don't want to prevent killing people from being in any movie or tv show?... Maybe you do?... Do you? Real question again. I don't know and I want to clarify this is not an argument, I'm not really judging or anything. I'm sincerely engaging.

EDIT: Oh and we have to talk about videogame killing too after the above questions I guess.

Can we please start throwing the morally impaired in solitary confinement?

Better idea. use conversion therapy tactics to teach this demon some morals and upload it all to YouTube.

tallying up the pronouns in this thread sure is interesting

The AI giving em what they want and its fucking barbarism. Internet is completely fucked

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

For anyone who doesn't realize: that's fetish content. Dude was making porn to satisfy his specific fixation on a subgenre of peril content. People get like that about stuff like quicksand, various specific ritualized forms of drowning, concrete encasement, hanging, timebombs, guillotines, etc.

Not that that's a completely mitigating factor though: I feel like guys who are into any kind of women-in-peril fetish are at best a coinflip between "mixing scary and sexy things is exciting" and "they say all politics is sexual pathology, well this guy's sexual pathology is his politics and they're both almost entirely constructed from seething rage and hatred", and it's an even worse ratio for the people just consuming it instead of writing/drawing/animating the content (and buying it from an AI is distinctly in the "consuming" rather than "creating" side of things).

Please sit back and enjoy YouTube moderation do what they do best:

Nothing.

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 days ago

Well they only get active when it comes to disenfranchise communists creators.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think if you get off to women getting shot in the head you should stay far away from me.

Thighs are on the table though

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

You’re ok having thighs shot? Damb
