On January 30, QTCinderella went live on Twitch, the social media platform for gamers like her. Every month, hundreds of thousands of people pay to watch QTCinderella play video games, bake cakes and chat with her fans.

She’s used to being watched by strangers. But this time it was different.

Throughout the nearly four-minute clip, she cried, she choked on her words, she repeatedly said that she knew she shouldn’t be doing this, but that she “want[ed] to show people what pain looks like.” The video was raw.

She had just found out that a male Twitch streamer, known as Atrioc, had purchased AI deepfake porn of two other female streamers, Maya Higa and the massively popular Pokimane. After Atrioc inadvertently shared the name of the porn site with his viewers, QTCinderella discovered that her own likeness was also featured in videos on the site.
