Expressionless

What are your thoughts about the story?

A typical unbelievable creepypasta (if this were real it would have been on the news), but I see what you're interested in here. The writer uses the fear caused by the "uncanny valley" effect, which some people experience when viewing mannequins, androids, etc. that don't look entirely human because of their lack of expression. Autistics with flat affect cause this negative response in people before they ever do or say anything at all.

I trouble reading it all because of the tiny print, but it looks like one of those crazy stories that people put on Facebook. Maybe it means god likes to murder kittens and attack doctors because they use science and technology instead of prayer and faith to heal people.

The mannequin in the photo looks kind of like one of those simulation patients medical students practice on that I've been so obsessed with watching on YouTube lately.

maybe link the image source? *ta da!!* or read it through the topic review thing.

while understanding their position deep within the uncanny valley, i think mannequins are beautiful, most of the time. so i have a hard time appreciating stories that twist them into these grotesque monsters that are to be feared.

the image is legitimately freaky, though. i don't like that one. the story was a bit kooky until the "I..am...God" line. that's so dumb.

i now have a need to post this.

do you own any at home?
