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.

    While I agree 100% with the rest, this I think is perhaps not exactly wrong but maybe a bit narrow in scope.

    Yeah maybe. I can’t know completely for sure if that was the case. I agree with the rest of your comment, honestly I haven’t really thought about some of the more historical examples, it’s not a kink I have explored whatsoever but I do have related bdsm interests and see how a kneejerk reaction to this could personally affect things I do like if people start emotionally reacting to content that involves violence against women… A lot of women are into it.

    It would not be that hard to use examples at the extreme edge of this topic that generate a visceral emotional reaction from people to push through vague legislation that results in sweeping bans against all of it. This can end up controlling women’s sexuality under the guise off protecting women.

      Exactly, like I do think there is to some extent a categorical difference between abrupt, “realistic” violent fetishes that hinge more on like control and destruction from the perspective of someone enacting or observing it, and more stylized and drawn out violent fetishes that hinge more on the idea of the event as something scary and/or painful that’s being experienced and often mix in a focus on feelings of helplessness or acceptance, but at the same time that’s really just a fuzzy spectrum along multiple axes and imo trying to draw some definitive line as to what’s actually problematic and what’s too fantastical or otherwise harmless would be impossible for me and I dread the idea of someone who knows literally nothing about the subject trying to do it because they would just do the Amazon thing of banning any kind of written kink content rougher than a light spanking which all characters painstakingly consented to in front of a notary ahead of time (unless of course it comes from a published “legitimate” novel which can be as awful as it pleases however it pleases).

      Not to mention that guys can be absolute creeps about it no matter where on the spectrum of realism vs fantasy or objectifying vs experiencing a given niche falls, to say nothing of how it seems the “milder” a fetish gets the more outspokenly aggressive and weird about it they get all the way up to the completely vanilla heterosexual men who are the category that’s the most aggressive and outspoken about their fetish of all of them to the point that they’ll demand all of society revolve around serving it and become violent if it doesn’t.

        There’s like two completely different sides of this too. If we take the common mainstream vampire kink, you have the type where a male vampire sucks the life out of the female victim, and you have the opposite type where the male vampire hunter stakes the female vampire. Are these ok? Aren’t they? They’re incredibly common in women’s erotica and I could also find image versions of it with a quick google image search like “vampire porn snuff” or whatever, there’s probably better terms that specific kink uses for that specific type of scene I don’t know what to search for but you get me. Do we ban all of those?

        all the way up to the completely vanilla heterosexual men who are the category that’s the most aggressive and outspoken about their fetish of all of them to the point that they’ll demand all of society revolve around serving it and become violent if it doesn’t.
