What do you think of the current cartoon filter trend on Facebook?

[smahala1991]

This is me as a cartoon. You can do it on the voila app. I kinda think its fun but I wonder if it's some kinda phishing hack?

[Cynicaldreamer]

First off, thank you for saying what the app is! I've been seeing it all over and wondering how everyone was doing that-

Okay so I just tried it... and uninstalled it. Like not even five minutes after I got it.
First off, I looked nothing like myself- which was really disappointing because I thought the cartoon filter would be fun since I'm big on anime? NO. It even lightened my skintone so I looked a shade lighter than I really am... don't ask me how that works.

And the ads? Oh my gosh. I get they have to make their money back somehow since the app is free, but the ads are very annoying.

Cute concept, and probably fun for some people, but I wasn't impressed.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Lol at least put that so I can get a guess at how you might look , such a mystery

[Éhmîë]

Well it sounds nice but I think that can have an impact on ur real self. I mean, most people believe ur real face/pic rather than the cartoon filter due to the fact that in recent times, people fake their faces in filters. But all the same, it looks super cool👍

[McKellar]

Honestly I don't mind it. I think it's cool, fun & a nice way to artistically express yourself.
... especially if you like doing some of the comparisons.

Prior to the cartoon filter...

After.

[UnknownGagsUser]

You make a good cartoon character 😆

[McKellar]

@UnknownGagsUser... What can I say? I'm quite the character. ;-)

[Jamie05rhs]

Damn, son. I hope I look as good as you when I'm 42.

[McKellar]

@Jamie05rhs... Thanks buddy. I do try & take care of myself. I'm content about your compliment.

[Jamie05rhs]

No prob, dawg. 👍😎

[IAMNathanael]

Seems kind of fun, to make yourself look like a Disney character. Though I haven't been on Facebook in a good many years.

[Aimée__LJ]

This is so cool 😂 I'm gonna play around with the Renaissance part 👀

[Napolii]

Daaam girl, you're cute.

[ChrisMaster69]

@Aimée__LJ that is classic

[Aakash_Hangargi]

You don't even need that app you look like a doll naturally

[jennifer_bloom]

I tried the app after reading your question but I did not like the way they altered my photo so I deleted the app, I did not look like a Chinese girl in that photo, I looked like a different race entirely, even my eye colour became green.

[ImSparkly]

I did it for my profile pic here. It’s the closest that anyone here will see my real face. It’s fun and I’m not reading too deeply into it. It’s hard to maintain any kind of privacy in modern society anyway and I don’t care to live under a rock.

[Archerer]

You look like Merida from Brave lol

[ImSparkly]

AmazIng what a Disney princess filter can do, eh? Seriously, that’s me underneath though and the AI did what it did to my seed image.

[ImSparkly]

Good movie though, there were a few times I wanted to turn my Mum into a bear….

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Well I have an app that makes toon faces back to real potraits

[Notice]

You look like the cartoon character from toy story who stole woody and wanted to sell him!

[A_Bell]

I think trends are dumb. It's also probably some attempt to collect data for facial recognition.

Chinese social credit, he we come.

[Sonorous]

I think it's pretty cool. I definitely wish they had that stuff when I was younger!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, that looks neat how that makes you look like a cartoon character

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Its interesting! I look like some generic pixar dude.

[CrypticViper]

I've the "Disney" one it with my daughter's photos, but when I tried mine... yeah, needless to say I looked awful.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao looks just like you. Too cool

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Isn't it , but when ever I toon myself I look like a potato 🥔

[DizzyDesii]

@Aakash_Hangargi lmao

[chriscdi]

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Lester from GTA by any chance?

[Massageman]

My daughter was able to make me look about 30 years younger. Too bad it's only on a picture.

[rodeschaap]

Lol used it for my profile picture 🙈

[Fuentes]

Facebook is one big phishing hack into your life that everyone and anyone can see lol

[TheEbonyEnchantress]

Y'all still use Facebook 👀

[PaynefulPleasures]

How cool so you, but I don't use these apps ✌️

[The_Maphio]

Does people still use that piece of crap platform?

[chapawapa]

I didn't know it was a trend.

[Tiptoetamm]

It's alright can go without lol

[coachTanthony]

I tried it... I looked hideous.
