After a two‑month hiatus, Atrioc returned to streaming in March 2023. He announced that he had donated $60,000 to a law firm, Morrison Rothman, to help victims of deepfake pornography pursue legal action. While this gesture was welcomed by some, others saw it as a belated attempt at damage control. Regardless of his intentions, the damage to his reputation—and, more importantly, to the trust of the streaming community—was lasting.

Everything changed during a routine livestream. As Atrioc attempted to switch browser tabs while sharing his screen with thousands of viewers, he inadvertently revealed a tab that was open to a website hosting non-consensual, AI-generated deepfake pornography of fellow female streamers.

In the aftermath of the scandal, the public identity of the person behind BAVFAKES remained largely unknown. However, the site itself became a target of intense backlash. QTCinderella, one of the victims, vowed to “f**king sue you” to the site’s operator, and she and others began exploring legal options. By mid‑2023, BAVFAKES had been taken offline. Spanish news outlet La Opinión reported that “that page, which was called Bavfakes, ended up being closed,” largely due to the relentless efforts of QTCinderella and other affected streamers.

The terms "BAVFAKES" and "Fan-Topia" represent the mechanical and cultural infrastructure that drives the spread of deepfake media. What is BAVFAKES?
