Most of Weibo’s netizens seem to be fed up with China’s latest beauty trends. Messages about skinny A4 waists and iPhone 6 legs have been flooding Chinese social media.
On April 1st, yet another phenomenon was introduced through Chinese social media. The ‘2B face’ (#2B的脸) is supposed to be the remaining option for people without the A4 waist or iPhone 6 legs. “I don’t have the A4 waist or iPhone 6 legs, but it’s okay – at least I have a 2B face,” was the trending sentence (没有A4腰，也没有iPhone6腿，没关系，我还有一张2B的脸啊), together with an image showing two 2B pencils across a round face.
The 2B face meme soon went viral on Sina Weibo, where many netizens appreciated the joke. Although April Fools was “banned” in China this year, many social media users still found ways to fool each other and mock China’s (social) media, along with its recent beauty trends.
