Disturbing Chinese ‘Beauty’ Challenge Tests Whether a Girl’s Face is Skinny Enough

Another day, another trending Chinese “beauty” challenge.
Coming on the heels of the “iPhone 6 legs” challenge and the A4 test last month is another beauty test that involves a small inanimate object.
In order to prove their faces are petite enough, young women in China are uploading photos of themselves applying lipstick with their arm twisted behind their heads, according to Yahoo News.
Although the trend proves flexibility rather than face size, that reportedly isn’t stopping the Chinese internet from fueling the new test.
Previously, the iPhone 6 legs challenge had young women in China placing iPhone 6’s across the width of their knees to prove their legs were ideally skinny. The A4 test, meanwhile, had netizens holding a piece of paper against their waist to show off their thin waists.

If this happened on campus, Stanford should issue a clear public update and specific safety actions.

Agree. People need facts and process, not silence. The school should confirm what is being investigated.

Also important to separate verified details from rumors so this does not spiral online.

The death threat part is extremely serious. Hoping law enforcement and campus security are already involved.

This is where official reporting and support channels need to be visible and easy to access.
