Chinese vlogger who used filter to look younger caught in live-stream glitch
一位利用遮擋使自己看上去更年輕的主播在直播時因故障露出了真容
Fans of a popular Chinese video blogger who called herself "Your Highness Qiao Biluo" have been left stunned after a technical glitch during one of her live-streams revealed her to be a middle-aged woman and not the young glamorous girl they thought her to be.
The revelation has led to discussions about standards of beauty across the country’s social media platforms.
這一事件引發了中國網友對于美的標準的討論。
The blogger, who initially boasted a follower count of more than 100,000 on Douyu, is believed to have used a filter on her face during her appearances, and had been renowned for her "sweet and healing voice".
據悉,這位在斗魚上擁有10萬多粉絲的主播在直播時都會開遮擋,并曾以“甜美治愈的聲音”而聞名。
China’s Global Times said she had been "worshipped" as a "cute goddess" by some members of her loyal audience with some fans even giving her more than 100,000 yuan ($14,533, £11,950).
The Global Times reports that all was as normal and that her fans urged her to show her face and remove her filter but she refused, instead apparently saying: "I can’t show my face until I receive gifts worth 100,000 yuan ($11,950). After all, I’m a good-looking host."
Many of her original followers - especially men - are said to have stopped following her and withdrawn their transactions after seeing her true identity.
據說,她的許多最初的粉絲(尤其是男性粉絲)在得知她的真實身份后,已經不再關注她了,并且不再打賞了。
Most commentators said her followers were gullible, superficial and deserved to be "tricked" into parting with their cash gifts without first verifying her identity.
