Sorry to say, but they do the exact same thing for humans too.
Itâs 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 arenât human iâm scared
EhâŠperhaps read my blog description.
this post has EVERYTHING
I think I know the reason for why people prefer âunrealisticâ animation.
For some reason, humans really donât like things that look like humans but arenât 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 âUncanny Valleyâ 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 Iâm here for

Okay, Iâve seen this thread a dozen times before, but not with this addendum.
i made the original post in the throes of unmedicated depression because thatâs where my sense of humor was at the time. i donât check my activity page. seeing it barge onto my dash months later with +250k notes and this exchange attached to it like a bunch of rattling tin cans attached to the tail of a rabid dog running loose is fucking WILD
So sometime after whenever humans developed the uncanny valley effect, did we just hunt this mysterious predator to extinction? Or did it die out on itâs own? Or did it evolve as well into something⊠else? Could it still be living on Earth today?
Idk why dont we ask the âpeople eating cryptidâ who claims to be from a species thatâs easy to hide and apparently passes as human whoâs like, 3 reblogs above this?
Hey fun fact;
Back when Homo sapiens werenât the end-all of hominids, we also had some other two legged âhumanishâ cousins like the Neanderthals, Denisovians, and more!
There were nine different species of âhumansâ
By 10,000 years ago, they were all gone. The disappearance of these other species resembles a mass extinction. But thereâs no obvious environmental catastrophe â volcanic eruptions, climate change, asteroid impact â driving it.
Instead, the extinctionsâ timing suggests they were caused by the spread of a new species, evolving 260,000-350,000 years ago in Southern Africa: Homo sapiens.
Neanderthal skeletons show patterns of trauma consistent with warfare.
Like language or tool use, a capacity for and tendency to engage in genocide is arguably an intrinsic, instinctive part of human nature.
Optimists have painted early hunter-gatherers as peaceful, noble savages, and have argued that our culture, not our nature, creates violence. But field studies, historical accounts, and archaeology all show that war in primitive cultures was intense, pervasive and lethal.
Basically: the reason we as Homo Sapians find other human-ish figures unsettling and have an instinctual fear/aggression response called âThe Uncanny Valleyâ is because we literally TOOK OVER THE WORLD by hunting down and killing every other hominid on the planet.
Dunno if the â9 species of hominid genocideâ was a result of uncanny valley or the cause of it, but itâs a pretty sure bet to guess theyâre linked.

This is a wonderful post.
