I don't usually pay attention to things like this, but I have a younger sister who uses Snapchat. She used this filter and the output was essentially a perfect photo of our brother, but with longer hair. I couldn't help but be impressed.
What about the brother -> sister mapping?

#42It's fantastic to see how far this tech came in such a short time. It's also scary, because soon it will be very dificult to trust anything you see in video. What now demands a big CGI budget, will be possible to do with a simple App.
It doesn't entirely apply, but here's an article (one of many) on telling deep fakes: https://www.howtogeek.com/341469/how-to-spot-a-deep-fake-fac...

#43virtuous when it's pro-trans, misogynistic otherwise, and of course, misandry doesn't exist.

#47Physical gender stereotypes? The differences in physical appearance, like the shape of the bones in your face and the fact some people have penises and other people have vaginas, caused by activation of the SRY gene (the sex determinism gene), are not social constructs.
Physical gender stereotypes are things like hair length/style, whether makeup is applied, eyebrow grooming etc--all things that these apps are doing. These are not determined by sex. They are physical gender stereotypes, and are social constructs. Apps like these are upholding those stereotypes. I'll put it another way. If apps like these were framed with a right-wing narrative of "this is what men should look like"…
