Twitch Streamer Atriocs Deepfake Controversy Explained

The streamer has come under fire for allegedly purchasing AI-generated deepfake porn featuring popular female streamers. During a live stream, the images were accidentally shown and the streamer quickly issued an apology to his followers and the affected women. It includes Pokimane, Maya Higa, and QTCinderella among others.

In a TwitLonger post, the streamer stated that they would use the break from content creation to fight against the distribution of deepfake porn. They plan to cover the costs of having the image hosting website taken down.

The Spark of the Atriocs Deepfake Controversy

The uproar started when the Twitch streamer was streaming a game of Hitman to his audience. While playing, he momentarily switched to another tab on his computer. That showed him on a website that generated deepfake porn through AI. 

Although he didn’t mention the tab during the stream, a clip of the incident from his January 26th stream went viral on the internet. Reddit users quickly recognized the site as one that requires payment for access. It gives access to explicit deepfakes featuring female streamers, including Pokimane, Maya Higa, and QTCinderella.

The Apology Live Stream

As the scandal gained traction, Atrioc went live on Twitch with his wife to apologize for his behavior. He described how he came across the website through an advertisement on the widely known adult site, PornHub. The streamer mentioned that his fascination with AI-generated art and music might have caught his attention and led him to click on the ad.

Atrioc expressed regret for his actions and acknowledged the harm he had caused to the female streamers whose images were used without their consent. He emphasized his commitment to making amends and working to prevent the spread of deepfake porn. Throughout the apology stream, Atrioc and his wife also answered questions from their viewers and shared more insight into their perspectives on the matter.

In the apology stream and on Twitter, Atrioc stated that his actions were not part of a recurring pattern. He claimed that he had only made the purchase of access to the website on the same day that he accidentally revealed the tab during his live stream. The streamer said that he had a receipt for the paywall but was told not to show it on his stream.

To further emphasize his remorse, Atrioc also took to Twitter to post a TwitLonger in which he specifically apologized to Pokimane and Maya Higa, two of the female streamers whose likenesses were featured in the deepfake porn. He expressed regret for his actions and acknowledged the harm that had been caused. The continued apology on his social media channels showed Atrioc’s commitment to making amends and rebuilding trust with his community.
