decades of survival training have finally paid off
i can detect male assholes on sight

@mia this test seemed like a load of bullshit because they all have neutral expressions. i think their actions are more important than profiling someones face

@rowb1t @Mondobizarrro i mean, yeah. that’s of course true.

if anything, i think the apparent correllation between physiognomy and personality traits can be traced back to things like family backgrounds and socioeconomic hardship in the sample of people who participated in that study, which certain groups of the population are more affected by than others

@elementals @swampwitch @rowb1t @Mondobizarrro all that being said gaydar is still a real thing

as well as the trauma radar. i’ve spotted other trans people (closeted or passing) because they all tend to have a distinct habitus and body language. if not on sight, it’s obvious once you talk about how you relate to the world you’ve grown up in, and the regrets you may have. i don’t think most people would notice these traits, but, as they say, real recognize real

@rowb1t @swampwitch @Mondobizarrro kinda funny because the more conventionally attractive males in this test tend to be psychos

@swampwitch @rowb1t @mia same. i got 50% in men but 33% in women

@rowb1t @swampwitch @mia yeah it just looked like one was more conventionally attractive than the other

@rowb1t @swampwitch @Mondobizarrro (i’m willing to believe there’s a kernel of truth in that, given how climbing the ladder of success in this society requires dark traits especially of the male population)

@mia @rowb1t @swampwitch @elementals i always noticed this with other autistic people

@mia @rowb1t @swampwitch photo of ted bundy goes here

@mia @rowb1t @swampwitch it requires dark traits because the system screws over others. the only way to get anywhere is to sell out. nice people wish to see it replaced by one that rewards kindness

@azureazure @Mondobizarrro @rowb1t @swampwitch boredom

@Mondobizarrro @mia dang homie

@kittenlikeasmallcat @mia dawg, these NTs are hella cooked. they cant go 5 seconds w/o reinventing phrenology

@Mondobizarrro @mia bb wake up new phrenology dropped they added "read my paid blog about how everyone I don't like is a Narcissist and I am inherently a victim because I am morally superior."

@swampwitch @rowb1t @Mondobizarrro @mia a lot of them kinda just looked like slightly different photo angles or w/ different lighting to me.

also this "study" that made this thing sucks (obviously).

I obtained self-reports and peer reports of personality as well as expression-neutral photographs of targets, and then I created prototypes of people high and low on each of the three dimensions by digitally combining select photographs of Caucasian targets. The results indicated that unacquainted observers reliably detected the dark triad composite, especially in female prototypes. Thus, not only is the dark triad a set of psycho-social characteristics—it may also be a set of physical–morphological characteristics.

maybe it means more like whoever they showed this to had a slightly in-common bias about what others look like? and that a few of whoever's in the images, and their peers, might have saw themselves slightly the same way a bit? wow, how surprising. also this

@salad @swampwitch @rowb1t @Mondobizarrro same energy tbh
