People are obsessed with the new gender swap filter on Snapchat—and here are the most epic before-and-afters
Last week, Snapchat unveiled a new filter that has people obsessed. Users are now able to swap genders, which, as one would expect, is causing mayhem and foolishness galore. (Remember that “deepfake” video of Steve Buscemi’s face plastered onto Jennifer Lawrence at the Golden Globes? Yeah, it’s just like that—except even more hilarious). And the best (slash, worst?) part is: The filtered images look so real. We may never be able to trust an image or video ever again, people.
The Snapchat filter works so well that I’m convinced these are just reflections from alternate timelines.

I am SHOCKED AND UPSET. Don’t use the new Snapchat filter if you don’t want to find out that the male version of you is, in fact, your brother. pic.twitter.com/A5Kv3MZ0SG

Thanks to Snapchat, we must now question *everything* that appears on our timeline. Like, everything.

If there’s a moral to this story, we think Adam Rippon has found it.
The thing I’m learning from the snap filter that turns people into a boy/girl is that gender is a social construct and that people still use snapchat
