It’s amazing how people in the notes and comments are absolutely FURIOUS at me for the included Frozen comparison. Special shout out to everyone trying to prove that real people look like this. Not to mention that when people edit these characters to have better facial proportions, the originals look like bizarre fish people. How humans draw themselves is always fascinating to me op why are you speaking like you aren’t human i’m scared Eh…perhaps read my blog description. this post has EVERYTHING I think I know the reason for why people prefer “unrealistic” animation. For some reason, humans really don’t like things that look like humans but aren’t quite human. Hence why a lot of people are uncomfortable with movies with animation like Monster House and The Polar Express. It looks too realistic to us and sets us off. Scientists call this the “Uncanny Valley” effect and its thought to be an evolutionary tactic for survival. The funny part is. No other animals that we know of experience the uncanny valley effect. Only humans. Which leaves the question: what was out there that mimicked humans so well and was so dangerous to us that we evolved to have this as a tactic for survival? Oh hell yeah this is what I’m here for Which leaves the question: what was out there that mimicked humans so well and was so dangerous to us that we evolved to have this as a tactic for survival? @hitodama89 Okay, I’ve seen this thread a dozen times before, but not with this addendum. I CAN ANSWER THIS! what looks like a human but really really isn’t one and should make us panic a little? ….A human corpse. Because whatever made it one is probably still around. seriously that’s why a lot of people have the Uncanny Valley reaction. It’s a self preservation instinct. How did we get from Frozen facial differences to a human corpse- This is one of those classic tumblr posts that is a little different every time I see it. This post has aged like fine wine since the last time it crossed my dash… @god-of-yall read it, trust me, its worth it …okay, but accepting the premise that other animals don’t experience “uncanny valley” effects (which…have there been studies on this?), then a corpse is a silly explanation, since other organisms leave corpses too. Why wouldn’t they find them uncanny? Humans got the weakest sense of smell out of almost all animals, dont we? Maybe we developed it for the inability to detect corpses by smell -- source link
