While I think removing the stigma associated with having deepfakes made of you is important, I don't think that desensitization through exposure is the way to go about it. That will cause a lot of damage leading up to the point you're trying to reach.

I don't seen how else you do it.

"Removing the stigma" is desensitizing by definition. So you want to desensitize through... what? Education?

I dunno, but preferably some method which doesn't involve a bunch of children committing suicide in the meantime.

As a child protection caseworker, I’m right here with you. The amount of children and young people I’m working with who are self-harming and experiencing suicidal ideation over this stuff is quite prevalent. Sadly, it’s almost all girls who are targeted by this and it’s just another way to push misogyny into the next generation. Desensitisation isn’t the way; it will absolutely cause too much harm before it equalises.
