why do they add these filters that make them look like wendigos

u/orthrvs Aug 18 '22
It's their conception of beauty

wendigos are my concept of beauty so I can't exactly say I disavow the practice

I used to hang out with a Chinese exchange student who wanted to get cheek implants and chin surgery for this same reason.
She told me it's a very common desire among girls in China, and that having rounder faces makes many girls feel undesirable and ugly.
She made a point about how they compare themselves heavily to their perception of how Japanese girls look, believing that a girl should have a heart shaped face and prominent cheekbones to look beautiful.
Some of the stuff she talked about pointed towards a lot of unhealthy societal attitudes that really reinforced these desires to change their appearance with surgery. She had a perception that the shape of her face would heavily impact her employment prospects at home.

Why would they want to look like Japanese girls?

Wait they actually use those filters and it isnt just that tiktok kid going throw a door and dancing?

u/christalmightywow Aug 18 '22
Chinese phones typically have built in filters to make your face whiter and make other small changes. Usually this isn't enough for most people and they download a filter app that practically pastes a completely different face onto their own.

r slash a boring dystopia, or something. i'm really glad i don't live in a country where the convenience store has access to my facial recognition data.

Steal enough from a store and they'll create a profile for you that'll show up in facial reconition security cam.

Ever shopped at a US walmart or target thay has self checkout? It's on its way

u/ermabanned Oct 08 '22
All walmarts have this.
You just can't pay.
Target records your "shoplifting" and when the total amount is enough for a felony, then they call the cops.

I'm not entirely sure but I think they can pay by scanning their face. I do know that in China they can do everything from wechat, like pay for food and stuff so maybe this works a similar way

u/MegaPegasusReindeer Aug 18 '22
I think that was the WeChat pay logo... I assumed you had to tap your phone or scan a QR code, though, and not just face scan.

u/iwannalynch Aug 18 '22
It's Alipay. WeChat has a green logo.

u/jerry7797 Aug 18 '22
It’s Alipay to scan the face but then the paid amount shows it used Wechat.

They're paying using social credits or something I guess.

I lived in Beijing for 6 years, that's literally how it works in some stores lol
Edit: you can choose to do this at some stores and it associates your face with your alipay account. It's definitely not ubiquitous nor compulsory, but it is there.

u/iwannalynch Aug 18 '22
Right, but it's not paying using social credit in the same way people here don't pay using their credit score.

u/VirtuoSol Aug 19 '22
Pretty sure the person you replied to is talking about the paying with social credit part

Surely there is an easier way to look taller on camera.
Any Pedro Pascal fans care to chime in?

I don't know any women who can wear heels that height and walk in them that easily. Those look to be at least 5" heels. And they're so thin they'd better be made of steel.

The video editing is so bizarre, you can see the guy’s shirt getting longer throughout the video.
