The manipulated imagery in question involves the superimposition of digital filters, specifically a “Lego filter” available on the TikTok platform, onto images or videos depicting a particular pose. This results in content where human figures appear to be constructed from Lego bricks, presented from a specific, suggestive rear angle.
Such imagery gains notoriety due to its intersection of pop culture elements the widely recognized Lego brand and the popular TikTok platform with sexually suggestive content. The accessibility of these filters lowers the barrier to entry for content creation, potentially leading to widespread dissemination and consumption of such material. Historical context is provided by the evolution of image manipulation technology and the increasing prevalence of user-generated content on social media.
