A thousand screens show Karen Gillan’s face. Each is slightly wrong. One smiles too long. One blinks backwards.

The use of deepfakes, in particular, raises complex questions about consent, identity, and the potential for misuse. While the collaboration between MondoMonger and Karen Gillan has been transparent and clearly labeled as a work of fiction, not all deepfakes are created with the same level of transparency or respect for the individuals involved.

At the center of this underground economy sits Fan-Topia, which has been identified as the largest subscription website for nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes of celebrities. What makes Fan-Topia particularly alarming is not merely its scale but its sophistication.

At the state level, California’s proposed Digital Dignity Act would require large online platforms to remove digital replicas upon receiving a court order and make reasonable efforts to identify and remove identical copies.

In the golden age of geek culture, the concept of “canon” has become increasingly fluid. We live in what scholars and super-fans alike have begun calling —a boundless, decentralized universe where intellectual property is no longer owned by studios but co-created by the audience.

REAL KAREN (40s, tired, wearing a muddy coat from set) walks down the aisle. The Mondomonger coalesces—a pillar of upvoted comments and 4K GIFs.

This design is deliberately obfuscatory. Deepfake creators are not searchable on Fan-Topia, and their profile links change constantly. Searches on Google or other mainstream search engines do not surface this content. The “hidemylink” service allows subscribers to return to creators’ pages they previously subscribed to, including those that existed before April 2023, creating a persistent and difficult-to-disrupt marketplace for abusive content.

The timing of Mondomonger’s rise coincides with Hollywood’s most aggressive crackdown on AI. The 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike explicitly won protections against digital replicas without “informed consent and compensation.” Yet those rules govern studios, not individual fans in their basements.

And thanks to modern tools, they aren't just wishing anymore. They are making .
