The most significant "update" to the series' notoriety occurred in 2023. The musician Matty Healy, lead singer of the band The 1975 , admitted on a podcast that he was once discovered masturbating to "Ghetto Gaggers," describing it as someone "getting brutalized" on screen. This admission sparked widespread backlash, with many on social media, particularly Black Twitter, expressing outrage that he was consuming porn that "humiliates and degrades Black women". The controversy became global news due to Healy's then-rumored romantic connection with pop superstar Taylor Swift.
