This is the moment that changed everything. In early 2023, a Bavfake surfaced of Atrioc’s face on a politician (not Trump, but a generic newscaster) delivering a fake breaking news alert. While comedic in intent, it coincided with a larger, real-world deepfake scandal involving another streamer.

Atrioc went offline for a week. When he returned, he delivered a 3-hour “State of the Stream” addressing the dangers of deepfake pornography and non-consensual fakes. He specifically called out his own community, saying: “Even the funny ones—even the Bavfakes that make me look like a goblin—we are normalizing the tech. I am not banning the jokes, but I am telling you: the top of this mountain is built on sand.”

Why it’s Top: It is the most consequential Bavfake. It forced a reckoning within the Atrioc subreddit and led to a permanent rule in his chat: No deepfake links without context, and absolutely zero non-public figure targets.
