    I got suspended for defending myself against getting hit in the head with a chair when I was a kid. School policies are totally fucked. Guess they just wanted me to stand there and sustain massive head trauma? Assholes.

    How is it acceptable anywhere for someone to be expelled for hitting someone else, in a scenario like this where the cause is completely understandable? If anything, the kid making deepfake porn should be the one expelled because that kinda thing can be legitimately life-ruining for its target. The person being expelled had every reason, right, and justification to throw hands.

    I’m probably sounding like Ailurus here, but this is screwed up.

    Also, isn’t deepfake porn a crime in a lot of places even if it’s of adults, and not of kids like in this case, which is already hella illegal on its own?

        So expel the target of a potentially life-ruining act and also a potential crime, and not the person making the deepfake porn. That makes perfect sense. /sarcasm

        Really, that deepfake porn is going to do worse damage to someone who isn’t even in high school yet, than a slug to the face ever will; that black-eye will heal, the reputational damage caused by someone making deepfake porn of you, not so much, and deepfake porn is a crime in a lot of places to boot.
