No, I'm telling you that Stable Diffusion's sole purpose is not to facilitate "lookalike" anything, although it can be used for that.
Regardless. Say "any lookalike pornography of any kind is against the rules", then surely content fitting that rule, would be removed from the site. But if people keep submitting such content to lets say r/nsfw, then the entire subreddit won't be banned, only the content removed (by either moderators or administrators).
Instead, (hypothetically) what's happening, is that reddit is removing entire subreddits containing pornography because some of them contain look-alike pornography. You see the conflict now?
>Additionally, images or video of another person posted for the specific purpose of faking explicit content or soliciting “lookalike” pornography (e.g. “deepfakes” or "bubble porn") is also against the Rule.
So, any lookalike pornography of any kind is against the rules. "Deepfake" is just listed as an example. The method used to generate the lookalike pornography is irrelevant - Photoshop, GIMP, hand-drawing, Stable Diffusion, deepfakes, whatever - it doesn't matter, because the result is still "lookalike pornography", which itself is against the rules. There's more verbiage on that page that continues to make their stance clear:
>Intimate media include a depiction of the person in a state of nudity or engaged in any act of sexual conduct, including depictions that may have been faked.
