      It’s prolly just your evolutionary response thinking you’re looking at a dead body honestly. Looking at dead bodies gives you a similar feeling of unease. But at the same time dead bodies do tend to look like dolls and unreal which is an evolutionary response to not freak out and die cause of freaking out after all our ancestors were all on their own

      @@b07xjust Look up gore pictures. It has a similar if not same effect depending on the picture. It’s prolly just the same natural response we have to seeing dead bodies. Evolution made it so we don’t fully see dead bodies in a realistic way. They look more like dolls which is a natural response in order for you not to break down and die cause you saw a dead body. In a world where everyone is on themselves it’s quite a useful function

    it makes me feel disgusted and kind of anxious, your theory makes a lot of sense. I think because humans like other humans and feel comfort towards them, so my theory is our brain seeing something like us but just off confuses it and makes us avoid it entirely.

      I have a theory, it's probably an instinct we have to stop us from procreating with dead people. When you're dead, your body rots and makes your face look (obviously) uncanny, similar to the faces in the Uncanny Valley.

      It’s prolly just a fear of dead bodies. A lot of dead bodies look more like dolls when you take the messy bloody part away. Seen decapitated heads and honestly they don’t look human. After all dead bodies aren’t supposed to move and evolution made us see dead bodies in an unrealistic way to cope better with reality meaning you won’t break down and die when you see dead bodies immediately at least some times that works

    I think the simplest answer is often the best.
    I imagine that the uncanny valley exists due to something look almost but not quite human could be so people would avoid the sick, dead bodies, people with deformities etc…

    The photo isnt unsettling to me, probably because im just desensitised to alot of the uncanny valley at this point. I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Probably a bad thing because if we end up getting invaded by shapeshifting sub-surface lizards then it may take me a bit longer to recognise them than someone else.
