Chinese studio uses AI to change gay couple to straight couple in "Together" movie

Though imported films are often edited by Chinese censors to cut scenes deemed too sensitive or risqué, this appears to be among the first instances of technology being used to change a scene instead.

HONG KONG — A U.S. film distributor has criticized a Chinese studio for reportedly using artificial intelligence to make a gay couple straight when distributing the body-horror film “Together” in China.
Early this month, moviegoers who attended preview screenings said on Chinese social media that one of two men shown getting married in the film was digitally altered into a woman, most likely with AI.

“The version shown in mainland China didn’t delete this scene. Instead, it photoshopped a woman’s face over one of the men,” the person posted. “It looked quite reasonable. Even the American conservatives would be impressed!”
The state-owned China Film Group Corp. said last week that the wide release of “Together” had been postponed due to “a change in the film’s distribution plan,” without offering further details.

In 2021, Chinese authorities banned “effeminate” behavior from screens, and fans complained in 2022 when they noticed the removal of an LGBTQ storyline from the TV sitcom “Friends,” which is highly popular in China. At least 10 scenes with gay references were also dropped from the Chinese version of the 2018 biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” about the rock musician and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.
The alteration of the “Together” wedding scene “signifies that the government has a clear stance, and they have a red line,” Jason Coe, who teaches courses on film and media studies at the University of Hong Kong, told NBC News. “They will look to enforce it, and they will find innovative ways to enforce it.”

Yet the US is the country deemed to be so racist and discriminatory, usually by its own citizens.

Finally AI does something useful. Wish I could use it to de-propagandize the shows my wife watches. If it’s new, it has gay characters. 100% of the time. Even Hallmark movies have gay now.

Who would have thought the Chinese Communist Party would be the defender of traditional marriage. What a crazy world we live in now.

The gays usually don't show up until the 3rd episode, right about the time you feel invested in the storyline.

I’d pay a premium for this feature on my Netflix.

Right?
Homosexuality is (no pun intended) awkwardly jammed into every single series and movie made now. Every one. It almost never serves the story itself most of the time makes zero sense. We just need a gay dude or a lesbian “because”.
But of course the woke crowd will say it’s bigotry to simply tell a story without checking off representation boxes.

That puts Netflix in a real dilemma: make more money (which they love to do) or advance the alphabet squad agenda (which they also love to do). Something tells me Netflix would choose to continue to advance the agenda.

Netflix became more faggy after the Kenyan and his husband got on the board.

One day we will be able to customize shows and movies at home to fit our personal tastes.

This happens a lot. I usually stop watching at that point. If the real world were as gay as Hollywood makes it out to be this planet wouldn’t have 8 billion people.

They fund the alphabet brigade in the West and ban it on their home soil.

I think that was the movie Birdcage.

Wish I could install that technology in my tv real time to sanitize the commercials

Disney would have used AI to make a trans Pacific Islander and a masculine, non-gender female
