ToyBoi reflects on the patriarchal infrastructure of Deep Nude technology. Specifically, it refers to AI tools that are often used to generate non-consensual nude images of women. While these tools effectively strip women, they often fail to undress men realistically, resulting in images of men with deformed genitalia.

We present these failed images on items like lighters and calendars, which traditionally have portrayed naked women, to generate dialog on the male gaze and gender-based violence.
