Lensa’s terms of service instruct users to submit only appropriate content containing “no nudes” and “no kids, adults only.” And yet, many users—primarily women—have noticed that even when they upload modest photos, the app not only generates nudes but also ascribes cartoonishly sexualized features, like sultry poses and gigantic breasts, to their images.The sexualization was also often racialized: Nearly a dozen women of color told me that Lensa whitened their skin and anglicized their features, and one woman of Asian descent told me that in the photos “where I don’t look white they literally gave me ahegao face.” Another woman who shared both the fully clothed images she uploaded and the topless results they produced—which she chose to modify with “some emojis for a lil modesty cuz omg”—told me, “I honestly felt very violated after seeing it.”I’m used to feeling violated by the internet.Because I am not face-out as a sex worker, the novelty of hunting down and circulating my likeness is, for some, a sport.Because sex workers are not perceived by the general public as human or deserving of basic rights, this behavior is celebrated rather than condemned.What was disturbing about the image at the time was the pairing of her makeup-free, almost cherubic face with the body of someone implied to have just had sex."
