In the last week or so, 10 out of the 25 most popular cameos using my face are various fetishes, including one where I'm a centaur-woman pregnant with octoplets. It's not just me, either. I've seen this kind of content made with cameos of other women: female creators, another woman tech reporter, and a female employee of a prominent venture-capital firm.

**I don't get why anyone is surprised **

Love this bit

But there is something different and unsettling here: It's people being able to use my face (easily) to create content for potential sexual gratification without my consent.

But she did consent when she allowed people to use her face. I’m not saying what those people are doing with it are morally right but she consented when she clicked the box allowing cameos.

She consented to something but didn't consider/understand what that something implies. While it might be obvious for terminally online people, most people don't expect "cameos" to necessarily mean "fetish porn cameos".

What else would it mean? That's the kind of content the internet creates.

I assume many people just live in a sanitized, sterile internet created by Google/Meta et al. They might have never encountered the gooner/pervert culture before. Again, when most people see "cameo" their mind doesn't jump to "fetish porn cameo". As such, I don't think there was real consent here.
