Female Twitch streamers have reacted to a content creator who broke down in tears after he was caught watching x-rated deepfakes of them.

A Twitch streamer named Atrioc was slammed on social media after it was revealed that he went on a pornographic website that sells deepfakes of other content creators.

The website in question allegedly creates and distributes the photos without the consent of the people pictured - with some of them being female Twitch streamers.

In this case, viewers claimed that Atrioc was looking at indecent photos of the platform's stars, Pokimane, Maya Higa, and QTCinderella, after they noticed an open tab on his browser leading to the deepfake website.

On January 30, a clip was posted online of the streamer admitting to the situation and issuing an apology to the women involved.

Appearing alongside his wife Arianna on the livestream, the streamer said: "I was on a regular-a** normal website and there was an ad, there's an ad on every f***ing video for this f***ing... I know other people must be clicking it because it's on every f***ing video."

"I click it and I'm f**king in this f**king rabbit hole and at 2:00AM I f***ing, I dunno I got morbidly curious and I click something," he continued.

"It's gross, it's gross and I'm sorry, I really am. I really f***ing am," he said, adding, "I just really want to get it to go out there it's not a f**king pattern of behavior."

One of the Twitch streamers involved - QTCinderella - hosted a tearful livestream on January 30 and said that she would sue the person responsible for creating the x-rated images.

"F*** the f***ing internet. F*** the constant exploitation and objectification of women, it's exhausting. F*** Atrioc for showing it to thousands of people. F*** the people DMing me pictures of myself from that website. F*** you all," she vented.

"To the person that made that website, I’m going to f***ing sue you. I promise you. With every part of my soul, I’m going to f***ing sue you. That’s all I have to say," she concluded.

She also took to Twitter to add to her previous statement, saying seeing herself naked "should not be a part of this job," and added: "I want to scream. Stop. Everybody f***ing stop. Stop spreading it. Stop advertising it. Stop."

Another woman on the platform joined in the discourse and wrote: "Stop sexualizing people without their consent. That’s it, that’s the tweet."
