Ridiculous Chinese censorship used AI to change the gay couple in Together (2025) to a heterosexual couple

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By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.
how would one go about getting uncensored versions of cinema-release films? do they have to go through western platforms and torrents or does china have its own more-or-less widely-used websites?
Through pirating lol. It’s extremely easy to access pirated films complete with fan-made subtitles on the internet. People go to cinema to enjoy the atmosphere in the theater.
