Yea, sure, being gay or having anal sex, is still a crime too in some places.

We can argue it shouldn't be considered a crime and I'd argue deepfakes should not be a crime. I'd also argue considering them so is close to "thought police".

And, I'd argue fighting them is a losing cause. They get easier and easier to make daily. Lots of papers at the most recent Siggraph on how to take a single photo and turn it into an deepfake, oh, I mean avatar for a game, model for virtual clothes fitting, etc...

How do you reach that conclusion? Deepfakes get shared, which has real consequences for people.
