Now see, I would have thought this was the opposite of racism.
Isn’t it like, encouraging us to understand that we’re really all the same?
I’m absolutely certain that’s what the creators thought.
Or who knows. He’s a Slav so maybe he was like “LOL let’s see what people look like as NIGGERS!”
RT:
Photo altering app FaceApp pulled their new filters after it was labelled “racist” for allowing users to digitally change their ethnicity.
The popular AI-powered app removed the filters mere hours after their launch. It followed public outcry over the new feature which allowed users to chose from four ethnicities: Asian, Black, Caucasian and Indian.
Yaroslav Goncharov, the founder of the app which has 40 million installs across Android and iOS devices, said the controversial filters would be pulled on Wednesday.
Goncharov said “ethnicity change filters” were “designed to be equal in all respects” in a statement to RT, adding that they “don’t have any positive or negative connotations associated with them.”
Racist or not, it’s really good technology that seems like a lot of fun.
But there’s no fun allowed anymore.
