• Abstract: This essay shows the impact of deepfake technology on fan culture. The innovative technology provided the male audience with an instrument to express its ideas and plots. Which subsequently led to the rise of deepfake pornography. It is often seen as a part of celebrity studies; however, the essay shows that it could also be considered a type of fanfic and a product of participatory culture, sharing community origin, exploitation by commercial companies and deep sexualisation. These two branches of fanfic evolution can be connected via the genre of machinima pornography. Textual fanfics are mainly created by females for females, depicting males; otherwise, deepfake pornography and machinima are made by males and for males targeting females.

  We computationally analyze gender bias in a fairy tale dataset containing 624 fairy tales from 7 different cultures. We find that the number of male characters is two times that of female characters, showing a disproportionate gender representation. Female characters turn out more associated with care-, loyalty- and sanctity- related moral words, while male characters are more associated with fairness- and authority- related moral words.

  We compare the content of a women-oriented magazine with that of a men-oriented one, both produced by the same editorial group over a decade. With Topic Modelling techniques we identify the main themes discussed in the magazines and quantify how much the presence of these topics differs between magazines over time. Our results show that the frequency of appearance of the topics Family, Business and Women as sex objects, present an initial bias that tends to disappear over time.
