Is there even a law against this? Idk... maybe defamation? But that wouldn't count. Maybe revenge porn but it'd really depend on how it was worded, and even then would you be able to do anything if they didn't post it to a public forum?
it's legal but weird to paint or draw what you imagine (or remember, but get over your exes ya losers) somebody would look like nude, I continue to not understand why "using a computer to ____" makes a difference to anyone. I'm sure teens in the 70s were getting a polaroid or yearbook photo of somebody and gluing their face onto some porno mag they found in the woods.
the harm would come if some creep went on to harass somebody, but that's a harassment problem not unique to a slightly more advanced, low-user-skill photoshop.
sharing that shit was always the problem anyway, the problem isn't the 'art' regardless of the subjective quality, the pasted headshot getting passed around a school is probably something that actually happened and the behavior that went along with it afterward was probably bad, but those boys would've been shitty to that girl without the woods porn and glue stick.
nothat makes the thing worse not better, but I'm saying that this is something that already happened and it's not materially different just because it's with a computer and there's less of an ableist barrier to being a creep.
the problem remains the person being harassed on the basis of the doctored image, not the existence of the doctored image.
the problem here is still that it's being shared and that people harass the subject.
opposing these actions is also very easy stance to take, and it's more fundamental than the nude images thing that's only a problem because a bunch of dumbasses have hangups about nudity and would pile on a victim instead of supporting them.
