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By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.

    And why do you think they are overzealous with their changes?

    Because the west is absolutely swamped with media claiming all kinds of completely false things about China, the people believe them, and then they act on them if they’re in a position of decision making power.

    Do you seriously think the censors are stupid and don’t know what’s being done to the film?

    The censors don’t give a shit what the producers are doing to the film. Their job is to judge the film they’re given, not to send it back and say “actually you’ve gone too far with your changes here and here and here”.

    Maybe you have a case that they should be given the power to send it back and say “no don’t change this”. But that’s not what their job is currently.
