====Deepfake pornography incident====
While playing , Atrioc accidentally showed a window of a Fan-Topia page showing graphic artificial intelligence (AI) pornography of deepfakes depicting multiple Twitch female streamers such as QTCinderella, Pokimane, and Maya among others, by alt-tabbing. The page also depicted deepfakes from female celebrities.
