Ridiculous Chinese censorship used AI to change the gay couple in Together (2025) to a heterosexual couple
(hexbear.net)
Usually, they only censor the explicit content. But this is the first time that AI tools were used to directly alter the content of the original film.
By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.
A lot of Chinese media are gay coded but you cannot be explicit.
There are a lot of cool web series with LGBT content though. As long as you’re not going for cinematic/television release you don’t have to go through censorship.
I really like the Mo Dao Zu Shi donghua which is very gay coded, but I hear the original webnovel source material has the leads get full on gay married.
The web series I was talking about are more like indie films (usually short films).
I really like 去年烟火 from last year. It’s a short film about a lesbian couple in a small provincial town.
That was very cute thank you
gotta love web novels
I do love webnovels, my phone browser is completely full of webnovels at all times
