Sweet Anita, one of the streamers who had her image used on an infamous deepfake pornography site, has spoken out about the objectivation of female content creators. This comes as the issue is brought to widespread attention after fellow streamer Atrioc admitted to viewing deepfake adult content of other content creators.

In an interview following the controversy, Sweet Anita says that online culture needs to change. She also says that in the aftermath of the Atrioc scandal, many online proved that they "don't know what consent means" and feel "entitled" to streamers' bodies.
