4chan’s Misogynist ‘Wizards’ Are Nudifying Women by Request - WIRED

A dark corner of the internet has emerged where users request deepfake nude images of real women. On 4chan's /r/ board, users solicit 'wizards' to digitally undress women in photos, often specifying details like 'big juggs and thick body.'

What happened

An anonymous 4chan user posted a photo of a woman and requested a 'wizard' to create a deepfake of her with 'big juggs and thick body,' even specifying 'Bonus praise if you can leave her jacket on.' Within hours, another user replied with an altered image depicting the woman topless. These requests often include specific details and scenarios, sometimes involving family members, friends, or colleagues of the victim. Researchers have found evidence of requests for images depicting women in explicitly humiliating situations, such as being crucified or displayed in a circus. The 'wizards' who fulfill these requests are often praised and treated with deference.
