I’m not following this. While intimidation certainly has many dimensions, I don’t see why not looking like much makes them better able to defend themselves? Or be dangerous?
Unless you’re talking poisoners and embezzlers and the like who don’t need to warn because they don’t engage in direct conflict.
- deadbabe 2y agoKnowing how to fight or carrying a deadly weapon doesn’t require you to look threatening.
- brookst 2y agoYes, but the expected outcome of being in a fight or pulling a deadly weapon is much worse than the expected outcome of not being in a fight in the first place. I get you; someone can look helpless but be packing a Desert Eagle .50 and prepared to use it in any trouble. I don’t see how that is an advantage over not looking helpless, unless the idea is to attract trouble and then kill it.
- deadbabe 2y agoIt doesn’t have to be an advantage, it just is what it is.
