- pfisherman 4y agoI’d take this with a grain of salt. We tend to assign meaning and make value judgements based on context. For example, a swole guy cuddling a cat next to a squat rack will elicit a very different reaction than the same guy holding the same cat in front of a blank wall. Similarly, I don’t think that anyone looks at this picture of Blofeld and thinks he looks particularly agreeable or open.[0] 0. https://images.app.goo.gl/jFHLBo883XVo3Gb86 https://images.app.goo.gl/jFHLBo883XVo3Gb86
