I don't think you realize the impact of such a technology on society in general.

And I don't think you realize the impact either. This feels like it falls squarely in the camp of worrying that people will trick self driving cars to murder people. Good news is most people aren't murderers. https://xkcd.com/1958/
Most people aren't interested in sharing slanderous deep fake porn of others online either. There are social consequences to trying that and getting caught. And if they do, metahuman porn certainly is not going to be fooling many people.

I does not require many women or men to be affected for a mass negative reaction by the public. Just today a Hacker News post was about the author of Curl receiving threats. Would you like to be the guy that enables POS people to embed others into porn, for profit? That was what every pool of investors ultimately wanted to do.

I really don't care if someone creates a service to create a custom porn simulator. I don't think society would care either. People have been free to imagine others in sexual encounters since the dawn of time. The human experience won't radically be changed by rendering it on a screen.
There's a possible risk in pretending these videos are real and trying to slut shame people, but I'd bet against those being common or successful.

Ask 2-3 women you consider very beautiful what they'd think of such a service, and then what that'd think of the people who created it. Ask them if they've ever had a stalker - many beautiful women have, and many attractive men have too. The issues around unwanted sexual advances is far more prevalent and dangerous than you imagine. If you honestly look into this issue, you may learn something.

It's unfortunate that people have stalkers. I don't see metahumans as likely to exacerbate that problem.
