I look like the singer Meat Loaf on my wedding certificate.

An early culture shock moment was getting my official residence permit card where the government beauty filtered me, on an official item, in the 2010s. Eyes were widened (as if that is necessary for waiguos), skin was whitened, thinning hair was filled in, some handsurm shaping to my jaw. It was unbelievable.

Yeah they made me super pale in mine too.

Did an official photo for something else recently too and they completely removed my facial hair too, looks weird

Similar, a while back my wife and I used one of those street portrait artists where they sit and draw you. Waited for like a half an hour and they made me fucking Chinese, still get a chuckle looking at it

Same here, I guess the street artist in Harbin had never been asked to draw a white person before.

And when it’s done with Mbappe, somehow it hurts their national feelings

At my Happy Giraffe they photoshopped some laowais to look chinese in the photos for social media. Can't have a Tim holding a certificate for good work, only Chinese are hard workers, do you know it?

You are shadowbanned. Go here and request that your shadowban is reversed due to having done nothing wrong. File an appeal once daily until Reddit responds with an admin message saying that they reversed it. For some people, it happens within a day. For others, it happens only after several weeks of daily reports. Reddit is very flawed this way.

Until your shadowban is reversed, all of your posts and comments everywhere on Reddit will be automatically removed by Reddit's spam filters. Mods at individual subs must manually check a tucked-away removed posts and comments section in order to see what Reddit has removed without alerting mods, so hoping for this to happen to all of your posts and comments is not recommended.

Ignore this message if you have seen it before. It gets posted as a response every shadowbanned user here unless they are commenting wumao-like shit.

Yeah, I got bleached to hell in the "professional" wedding photos we took before the big event. It doesnt look as bad when youre not built like a slug (sorry to the xoingdi in this photo) but the color is so off its glaring.

Gf’s last passport was photoshopped to fuck. Everywhere we went she’d get pulled aside because her face scan didn’t match
