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 meop 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 forWhich 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? @hitodama89Okay, I’ve seen this thread a dozen times before, but not with this addendum.Our ancient ancestors evolved alongside numerous other subspecies. Homo erectus, homo habilis, and Robust Austalopiths all existed at the same time. More recently on the geological scale Homo sapiens and Homo neander (Neanderthal) competed for resources and space. We likely evolved to recognize something that looks much like us, but just slightly different, as a threat. Possibly the origin of the Uncanny Valley. -- source link
