to further clarify, the screenshot i showed on stream was a censored version of what was shown on Atrioc's stream. it wasn't anything he hadn't already shown and the site can no longer be accessed as it was taken down a couple years ago.
there's been a lot of misunderstanding of what's happened and sadly i felt that the gravity of the situation wouldn't have been understood or believed if i didn't show the initial incident (though censored). i privated the vod because i now understand the harm even that can cause.
i've talked about this directly with the women affected, even before i made my first statement, because their feelings are and have been incredibly important to me as someone who has gone through the same thing. i've been continuously encouraged by them to share my experience and feelings (and doing my best to be mindful of them throughout). for that i'm very grateful because it feels really difficult to be in a situation where people either don't know or forgot about something that felt traumatizing.
so pokimane discourse im seeing is
-brought up atrioc deepfake situation again
- apparently showed deepfakes of herself on stream
- showed deepfakes of maya ???
- deleted vod (obv must delete)
What did she hope to gain by doing this. I’m deadass confused. Why even stream this tf
@ethernetcherub@ajaxapostles Wow victjm so traumatized that she also decided to jeopardize her friend in the "same situation". Yeah she is very much not a snake and nothing else is going on
All of the people bleating about how traumatized Pokimane apparently was about the deepfake scandal seem to just ignore the fact that she showed a much clearer (but censored) version of what Atrioc showed on stream. For longer than Atrioc did. Absolutely insane!
Must be so traumatic for her that she brought it up on stream time and time again and all the while compromising the other victims by showing the pics from the website. Nice one
“poki’s bringing it up again when atrioc is actually trying to change”
poki has every right to bring it up whenever she fucking wants. thats her traumatic experience to share (or not to share)
atrioc is changing? good. but let this be a lesson for men out there.
Pokimane just showed a 4K screenshot of nude deepfakes of Maya and another female streamer on her stream
When Atrioc leaked it, it was a accidental frame leak showing a barely visible pixelated window of the page
Poki didn’t even bother to blur out Maya’s pictures
No one is saying you must forgive.
Atrioc never rewrote what his mistake was or told his fans otherwise.
The only criticism people have is that you always take issue Poki when he's seen merely celebrating the happiest moment in a couples life with the victims who chose to forgive
