Chat I think we’re in the bad place
YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new AI video generator tool, Veo, according to a watermark included in the bottom right corner of the videos.
The channel, named Woman Shot A.I, started on June 20, 2025. It posted 27 videos, had over 1,000 subscribers, and had more than 175,000 views, according to the channel’s publicly available data.

All the videos posted by the channel follow the exact same formula. The nearly photo-realistic videos show a woman begging for her life while a man with a gun looms over her. Then he shoots her. Some videos have different themes, like compilations of video game characters like Lara Croft being shot, “Japanese Schoolgirls Shot in Breast,” “Sexy HouseWife Shot in Breast,” “Female Reporter Tragic End,” and Russian soldiers shooting women with Ukrainian flags on their chest.
“The AI I use is paid, per account I have to spend around 300 dollars per month, even though 1 account can only generate 8-second videos 3 times,” the channel’s owner wrote in a public post on YouTube. “So, imagine how many times I generate a video once I upload, I just want to say that every time I upload a compilation consisting of several 8-second clips, it’s not enough for just 1 account.”
Woman Shot A.I’s owner claimed they have 10 accounts. “I have to spend quite a lot of money just to have fun,” they said.
For anyone who doesn’t realize: that’s fetish content. Dude was making porn to satisfy his specific fixation on a subgenre of peril content. People get like that about stuff like quicksand, various specific ritualized forms of drowning, concrete encasement, hanging, timebombs, guillotines, etc.
Not that that’s a completely mitigating factor though: I feel like guys who are into any kind of women-in-peril fetish are at best a coinflip between “mixing scary and sexy things is exciting” and “they say all politics is sexual pathology, well this guy’s sexual pathology is his politics and they’re both almost entirely constructed from seething rage and hatred”, and it’s an even worse ratio for the people just consuming it instead of writing/drawing/animating the content (and buying it from an AI is distinctly in the “consuming” rather than “creating” side of things).
