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By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.
You still don’t get it… sigh… These companies have to work with the censorship to get it to a release-appropriate state.
If it is buyout/acquisition film (this film in question), then the distributor will have to make the alterations.
If it is revenue-sharing film, then the film producers will have to make the alterations.
What’s so hard to understand?
