Yes yes billionaire and all that, I mean going beyond his company and personal ethics. People talk about how he looks and acts in the moment as creepy or unsettling, feelings which other tech bros don’t seem to evoke. Why is that?
He has an uncanny valley look to him. I think the dark eyes are part of it. And his general awkwardness. But also a lot of it is influenced by his actions, ie. the way you can feel everything he says is a sleazy lie as he works to invade your privacy.
Hey! If you wanna live forever… With the way the ozon layer is doing in the US…
dude, that guy’s … like, how do i say this. it’s just obvious that he has no empathy at all, nor does he understand what it means to be human. the term “lizard people” comes from him (i guess) because damn. no emotions.
it’s not so much the “no emotions” part that creeps me off, but the certainty that if he had any, they would be psychotic.
you know how he started the company? by posting photos of girls on campus against their will online, sothat others can rate them by their appearance. just imagine what a shitstorm that would cause if you did that today. people would call it “totally creepy”, and i guess they’d be totally right about that.
His eyes. They’re so black and dead
lmao I just referenced that in another reply 😂
Like Mr Beast
I feel like Zuck’s even worse. He is a profoundly disturbed man. It was weird how his therapist mom talked about making sure he never ended up in therapy
I assume it is mainly because his haircut and very pale skin used to be very unique and because his body language and facial expressions often does not match what people expect in a lot of public situations.
Unfortunately some of these things can also be explained by neurodiversity and people are projecting their personal grievances of Facebook/ meta onto that.
As someone who’s also neuro-diverse, we’re all a little off-putting. We know we look/sound a bit off and it’s a bit uncanny for some people. People will attach all kinds of meaning to anything they can visibly identify as different. As a mildly autistic ginger atheist I feel like “Soulless” gets thrown around way too freely, but I feel it’s important to keep in mind there are much worse flavours of bigotry out there. Still it’s important to point out that just because Zuck is awful doesn’t mean it’s ok to hate robot-people.
I don’t think everyone who’s neurodiverse is a little off putting, tbh.
I feel like people give a little more grace to the uncanny if they are at least perceived as benevolent.
Mr. Zuckerberg doesn’t get this benefit.
Eh there’s autism uncanny valley and then there’s the uncanny valley of this waxy skinned freak.
That isn’t a normal skin texture, and I’ve never seen an image of him not looking waxy.
😂 ‘do I not act to bleed when I am cut?’
Bingo. He’s not the tall brown/blonde well-built masculine jaw type of ‘leader’ people expect, that looks like every other CEO.
He looks look a dorky kid, and it turns people off.
Elon is far more ‘normal’ in this regard.
Uh, people talk harshly of Elon as well. I don’t know too many people who would think of him as anything approaching normal.
Just putting my reply to a comment on its own
Nobody in the position of power he exists in can be judged solely off of appearance. We’ve all seen too many quotes and actions by him to judge without context to his actions.
People just don’t like humanoids. It’s unnatural
He’s a pyschopath or is someone with ASD. I don’t know. Honestly, he preys on the details linking you and your friends and family, etc. He’s like the ultimate stalker, except you do it voluntarily. And then, the CIA buys the data through brokers, like the FBI and other alphabet agencies.
He talks and behaves like an alien pretending to be a human while simultaneously not understanding anything about humanity.
Like, he once purposely had a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays on his mantle in the background for a meeting or video or something because, in his words, thought it would make him appear normal.
People keep bringing up autism as an explanation, and as someone who is on the spectrum, has a sibling on the spectrum, and has at least one or two other relatives on the spectrum as well…I don’t buy it. There’s Something Else Wrong with that dude. I don’t know if I believe in demonic possession, but Zuck is more or less what I imagine it would look like.
Found the zuck’s lemmy account
It’s [1][ZDD (Zucc Dysmorphic Disorder)]. From Wikipedia:
Zucc dysmorphic disorder (ZDD), also known in some contexts as zuccmorphophobia or simply zuccmorphia, is a mental disorder defined by an overwhelming preoccupation with a perceived flaw in Zucc’s physical appearance. In ZBDD’s delusional variant, the flaw is imagined. When an actual visible difference exists, its importance is disproportionately magnified in the mind of the Internet. Whether the physical issue is real or imagined, Internet ruminations concerning this perceived defect become pervasive and intrusive, consuming substantial social network bandwidth for extended petabytes each day.
I was tired enough that I checked to see if that was an actual quote from the article you linked.
Honestly, I don’t think he’d be that creepy without the context, same goes for most other famous but hated people that people dont like the appearance of, like Jeff Bezos or such. I think that that reputation comes from a combo of: people being more inclined to notice things they don’t like in people they already dislike or to consider neutral features in those people negative (the flipside of how one find someone a bit bad looking, but then end up friends somehow and no longer think they look so bad), and media using photos of those people taken at unflattering angles, mid-speech where expressions look strange, etc, when talking about those people for an audience that already isn’t inclined to like them.
You mean aside from making billions off of spying on people without their conscent? I guess its not as creepy that its publicly known, most of the data collection and targeted ad marketing was also predominantly children and teens. So i guess that excuses the other fact, that most of the targeted ads preyed on children and teens who showed signs of mental health symptoms. Its all good tho, its the world qe live in, errybody spying on errybody.
So breezing over all the known-knowns, how about the simple fact he has paid out billions of dollars of fines for breaking the law to continue spying on people.
Not what they asked
What is it about (his) appearance or demeanour?
Nobody in the position of power he exists in can be judged solely off of appearance. We’ve all seen too many quotes and actions by him to judge without context to his actions.
So his behavior toward others congress, lawmakers and shareholders, when he addressed every judicial and congressional hearing in front of a camera in an outward manner while being issued billions of dollars of fines for refusing to stop spying on people - doesnt meet the definition of demeanor? I mustve confused demeanor with whatever the wprd for, “behavior toward others : outward manner,” is?
It’s mostly the noises… https://youtu.be/5aHQ1yQPwRo?si=6o58TUzvYfLe3q6o
He has a spinning HDD apparently.

This plus the way he acts and behaves has very cold blooded reptilian vibes.
I know a lot of neurodiverse people and nobody I have met in person reminds me of Zuch.

Also autistic, pastey white ginger. That normally isn’t threatening but being a full of psychopath on top makes him a movie villian. Syndrome from incredibles comes to mind but there are better examples.
