All Chinese live streaming services have powerful filtering features. These filters are especially good for women as they can cleanse the skin, enlarge the eyes, change the hairstyle and make the skin glow. Recently, a Chinese streamer used this feature, which took viewers by surprise.
A live video of an influencer was shared on Weibo, the largest social network in China. The woman forgot to activate the filter function and went directly to the live broadcast. The woman activated the filter function as soon as she saw the comments within the broadcast, but it was too late. The transmission was recorded for posterity and showed an old woman with wrinkled skin. Turning on the filter, she transformed into a young woman with fair and smooth skin.
Listeners were amazed at the woman’s mental ability to continue broadcasting as she danced afterwards, despite having shown her true face. A wide variety of comments have been shared, highlighting: “At first I thought the mother was acting on behalf of her daughter»; y «The level of filter technology is worrying at this point».
However, of course there are comments to defend it, such as «Won’t it be the other way around? Perhaps she is young and was wearing an old woman filter at the time»; y «Perhaps neither is his true face. Terrifying, right?». Although the incident ended up causing the drop in viewership for this streamer, it became a hot topic beyond China, through social networks.
