So the way somebody looks is half of your argument?

- AlecSchueler 2y agoYeah, why mention his appearance at all? It's crass and his actions should speak for themselves. Someone can be born with "villainesque" features and live a noble life, it's unfair to disadvantage them by perpetuating negative stereotypes.
- logicchains 2y agoThose stereotypes have a basis in reality; the way people think and behave etches itself on their faces. I don't think anyone with real life experience could seriously, honestly argue that it's not possible to discern any information about someone from their face/facial expressions and how they carry themselves.
- logicchains 2y agoIt's a relevant factor. There's a lot of statistically significant information about someone's personality that can be inferred from their face: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65358-6 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65358-6 . It may be politically incorrect to do so but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoPlease tell us what is "statistically significant" about this man's face.
