Cartoonized Profiles

In development

A fantasy-distance photo model — in development.

The intended design: free or introductory profiles show a transformed image rather than a raw photo. The transformation is meant to preserve visible human expression and emotional identity while creating enough fantasy distance to reduce shallow, instant rejection. The style may combine cartoon, anime, and watercolor qualities. Original photographs would be reserved for eligible paid access or a later consent-based reveal, and the system must never imply that a transformed profile is a different person from the real one.

This is a design target under active development, not a shipped feature. The current private-test build has an early "Photo Styles" UI surface (screenshot below), but the free vs. paid-reveal mechanic described above has not been finalized or launched.
