Passed the female filter over a photo once, five and ten times:

The ideal woman.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

The ideal woman.

As an added bonus, ecce homo!

Those are male filter X1, X5 and X10, by the way, same photo.

This app is hilarious. Here I am:

My female form looks really close to one of my cousins...umm....weird....

And I don't know wtf happened to agent Smith lol:

So now FaceApp has filters for different ethnicities. This is a thing that exists. You can see "what you'd look like" if your ethnicity was different to what it is now. How do we feel about this? Is this racist? It feels a bit racist.

Or is it harmless fun and I'm jumping to conclusions? I mean, here's Donald Trump:

Changing to Hispanic means you have to have a mustache?

Actually according to the app that is "Indian".

I wonder why.

Seeing yourself in a face from another ethnicity seems more unifying than anything else.

Do you really want to break it?

When I said it "felt wrong" I was referring to the assumptions that the software is presumably making. As in "is this morally OK". Seeing myself as a different ethnicity doesn't bother me at all.

I ran my face through that filter and didn't get a mustache.

[Skellig Gra]

Yeah they are going to get some heat on these new ethnic filters.

Agreed, that shit makes me feel uneasy.

Neat concept, but I can see it becoming highly controversial fast.

 

[kswiston]

The Indian filter darkened my hair and turned my blue eyes to brown. I see no other changes.

Throwing the white filter over my already white face makes me look like I came from Sweden though.

guess who just found a new avatar

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Hehehe! This is great. First, I played with the new "style" features:

Then I played around with the ethnicity filters. Behold, the International Squirrel Brothers!

The top left one is the Caucasian filter, by the way. Neither it nor the Asian filter show a whole lot of difference on my face.

 

[Dark_castle]

Wut

Dudes, I should have been a lady. Look at this shit.

Yo you look like a girl of my dreams.

Wait, what?
