Culture People Are Using AI to Create Influencers With Down Syndrome Who Sell Nudes - Instagram’s unwillingness to moderate AI-generated content finds a new low.

A network of Instagram accounts is using AI to steal content from human creators and deepfake their faces to make them look like they have Down syndrome. 404 Media was able to determine the accounts are linked because they reuse Instagram bios, videos, and in some cases link to the same OnlyFans competitors pages where they monetize these videos.

404 Media has written multiple stories on the rapidly growing practice of people stealing content from real human creators and using AI to replace their faces with AI-generated faces, posting that AI-modified content to Instagram, and funnelling viewers to adult content platforms where they can be monetized. What started as just a few accounts quickly evolved into an entire industry with specialized tools, advertising strategies, and influencers who sell courses on how to create these fake influencers to get rich quick through what they call “AI pimping.”

Newer accounts in recent months have started catering to increasingly specific niches and fetishes, including accounts of AI-generated women with amputated limbs. The AI-generated Down syndrome accounts are the latest and newest low for Instagram, which allows the rampant content theft that enables this practice and is now fueling a non-consensual fetishization and monetization of (fake) people with disabilities.

The biggest one of these accounts that I’ve seen is called Maria Dopari and has over 148,000 followers on Instagram. That account follows several other accounts with similar name conventions and identical videos, including one simply called Maria, which has over 39,000 followers. The face swaps are pretty convincing and hard to notice, especially when scrolling quickly through Reels, but if you look closely you can see the face sometimes has that too-smooth quality that’s common with AI image generation, as well as slight visual errors, especially around the mouth, tongue, and teeth.

There are plenty of real influencers with Down syndrome on Instagram who share motivational or modeling content. These AI-generated accounts are not trying to imitate that content, but rather are strictly focused on sexualizing the AI-generated personas so they can promote adult content they can then monetize.
“They all criticize my down syndrome until…I decide to wear tight clothes,” text in one of Maria’s videos says while she wraps a t-shirt tightly around her waist to show off her body. “Onlyfan??,” text in another Maria video says as she dances. “No…Onlydown?? Yesss 😂😂”

At some point, the Maria account also posted the exact same videos as the Maria Dopari account but with a different face. It appears that for three videos posted between March 6 and 8, the Maria account accidentally used a face from one of its other fake personas, called Lana, which posts under several usernames under some variation of lana.down, the biggest of which has of 43,800 followers. The Maria account then continued posting with the face it used regularly. In some cases 404 Media was able to identify the original videos that were being stolen by these accounts.

Another account, called Zeliavideos, which has 112,000 followers, says in its bio “I’m special not because I have Down Syndrome but because I don’t let it define my life.” It links out to a Fanvue page that does not disclose it’s AI-generated, but many of the still images on the Instagram account clearly are. Additionally, several Reels, which have been edited to make the woman in the videos look like she has down syndrome, were posted weeks earlier by a different account with an entirely different face.

Almost none of the Instagram accounts I’ve seen self-identify as being AI-generated, and judging by the comments on the videos, it appears that a lot of people believe they are real. However, unlike Instagram, OnlyFans has a strict policy against AI-generated content unless it features the verified creator and explicitly says it’s made using AI, so these accounts can’t post that content on that platform. They can and do monetize on Fanvue, which does allow people to monetize AI-generated content as long as it's labeled as such. Both Maria Dopari and Maria link out to the same Fanvue account which states Maria has an “AI face.”

“Just a girl with a little something extra, haha ✨,” the Fanvue bio, which is written in French, says.

Instagram bios for other accounts that promote the Maria persona are also written in French, and follow a similar formula, saying she is French, 23 years old, that she has down syndrome and is “neuro-atypique.”

Another account which produces the same type of content on Instagram does disclose that it’s AI generated and that the person behind it does not really have down syndrome. It also links out to a Fanvue page, which includes the following “Disclaimer:”

“By purchasing, you understand that I am an AI modified avatar. I do not actually have don’t syndrome.”

A Reddit community called r/pussydownsyndrom was also started on February 8, and so far includes only two posts, both of which are by the moderator and are promoting content from the Maria persona.

Reddit and the moderator of that community did not respond to a request for comment. Instagram, Fanvue, and none of the accounts I reached out to responded to a request for comment.

So there is a market for retard porn? Really?

I noticed some broad on Instagram a couple months or so ago who would include her retarded sister, often in ah 'fitness' type clothing, in shots/videos that were pretty thirsttrappy. I think this would be about how close you can come to making real life retard porn as someone who should be 'in loco parentis' without getting prosecuted. AI or filters make creating retard porn a lot more practical (I can't imagine prosthetics to make you look like a Downie are cheap or easy to apply and cosmetic surgery would be... quite a step).
 
Gumping it is pretty shady. Rearranging the guts of a woman who has a severe chromosomal disorder is pretty devious. But imagine being fucked up like that and just wanting to smash and none of the good looking guys would touch you because their dads would make fun of them. Grim existence.

Urgh, I made the mistake of browsing Brace Belden's twitter account (@TrueAnonPod)


and renoticed a Instagram account marketing an OF that I've seen before and just been beyond horrified. 335000 followers on Instagram.

I'm sure this young lady had some horrifying genetic disease that made her look a little bit like a rat person, with the overbite and the weird tooth thing. But the fact that some pimp in Thailand is marketing her to weird degenerate rat fetishists and probably 'encouraging' her to get plastic surgery (besides the fake tits) to look more like a rat is disgusting, as is the fact that OF and credit card processors are collaborating in all this. Far worse than the fake downies.

Despite regularly posting and reading some of the worst shit ever here, I am somehow naive enough that I couldn't even imagine something like this even existing.

Men with no better options kid themselves they actually prefer fat/old/TiMs to protect their ego.
Why would retard fetishers be any different?

She's aware of how others perceive and recognises her own hypocrisy.
A minority of Downies have mosaic downs syndrome, and have a lower end of normal IQ.
In any case, I feel so guilty laughing at the video so much.

i haven't looked into the reactions of any of the women who have been exploited by this trend but some of them have to be offended by the notion of making them look as if they have down syndrome, on its face in a vacuum, as an offensive thing to do because it offends them personally. at least some of these women, if you asked them what they think of people with down syndrome and if they're cool or beautiful or whatever they would say yes because that's the woke affirming thing to do, like lying through your teeth that morbidly obese people are beautiful, or women having excessive body hair is beautiful, or a fun joke example where women are asked if lizzo is beautiful and they say yes, and then the guy tells them that they look like lizzo and get offended because they actually think she's gross and ugly, and as much as women lie about it being beautiful to be fat, every woman gets offended when you tell her she's fat.

there have to be at least a couple of women exploited by this trend where if you asked them if down syndrome people are beautiful they would say yes, but if you told them they look like they have down syndrome and showed them one of these videos where they were given down syndrome face with the ai filter, they would get offended because they actually think down syndrome makes you ugly and you made them ugly, even though 10 seconds ago they said that people with down syndrome are beautiful.

as an aside, and i don't find this thought funny, but women use filters on shit like instagram and tiktok to make themselves more attractive, get crazy body dysmorphia, and then get plastic surgery to make their faces look like a skin suit mask worn by a reptilian. if someone actually did the scenario from the previous paragraph irl and the woman it was done to didn't find out about this whole trend and that it was ai, i cannot begin to imagine the kind of fucked up body dysmorphia that experience would give her. that might be happening to some of the women who have seen this done to them even knowing full well that it's just an ai filter and they don't actually look like that, seeing as how women will use filters to make themselves "prettier" or "hotter". and see other women who are definitely using filters, and still get body dysmorphia and fuck up their faces with plastic surgery.

This is absolutely the lowest, most vile thing I've read about in recent memory. It is stealing money directly from OnlyFans influencers with Down Syndrome, who may not have another source of income. It's also perpetrating fraud against consumers who happen to have a fetish for women with cognitive impairments. It's like somebody faking an intellectual disability to compete in the Special Olympics. Simply disgusting.

It gets even worse. There's an Instagram whore/scammer named Brittanya Razavi who was on those awful VH1 D-list celebrity dating shows She is sort of like a pimp now that pulls younger models into onlyfans whoring. She was putting face filters on her models to make them look like children.
