Face Filter Glitch Reveals 'Young' Vlogger Is Decades OlderA popular Chinese streamer who used a beauty filter to look younger is revealed to be a 58-year-old woman during a live session.

A prominent Chinese vlogger, known as Her Royal Highness Qiao Bilu, accidentally disabled a beauty filter during a livestream and revealed she is several decades older than she appeared, according toInsider.

Bilu had amassed more than 100,000 fans on Douyu -- China'sTwitchequivalent -- and relied on filters to make her into what her fans called a "cute goddess." During a July 25 livestream, the vlogger covered her face with a cartoon superimposition; fans wanted to see the star and begged her to remove it.

“我需要人民币100000元(合14526美元)的礼物how my real face," she said. "After all, I'm a good-looking host."

Through a glitch, the cartoon -- and the filter -- vanished, revealing a 58-year-old woman. Needless to say, her followers were shocked. Some cried "Grandma" in Bilu's comments section. And, somehow surprised that celebrity and sincerity aren't the same, her male fans left en masse: Many unsubscribed and others rescinded their gifts.

The Chinese government could also take issue with the incident. The state-runGlobal Times'assessment of the situation castigates wanghong -- the Chinese word for online celebrity -- for repeatedly taking advantage of "indoorsman" who just want to spend time with "dreamy women." And the Chinese government has previouslydetained streamersfor perceived slights against the government.

But in another twist, Bilu's mistake has boosted her fame. According to Insider, her Douyu profile page has swelled to almost a million followers since the incident. She also announced on Tuesday that she will release an album.
