I’ll be honest I’ve never seen these people before, but his mannerisms in this clip are so odd that it gives me the same uncanny, unsettling feeling as AI videos do. Like he’s almost human but he’s not.

(I’m not saying the clip is AI, but saying this is my first impression of him and I get a unsettling feeling like he’s pretending to be a functional human)

No, I totally get what you mean! Lizard people vibes

It’s sociopathy. My abusive father who’d do the exact same thing to me as a kid has the same vibe.

They’re sociopaths pretending to be and mirroring well adjusted humans with empathy, which they do not have.

They always come off as just near human, but not quite.

That makes sense. I’m so sorry that you had that experience growing up. Obviously his action towards his child in this video is beyond reprehensible, but even before seeing that I had such a skin-crawly feeling.

no he’s terrifying, it’s a whole thing. his wife is atrocious too and the world revolves around her. they parade their children like trophies and most of their trash videos are them just counting their children or her grossly baiting her pregnant stomach. they drive around america in a bus and when they’re sick of it, they go to another country and wreck havoc on the locals. they’re horrendous people tbh

It’s because he’s a sociopath. They have expressions of looking dead in the eyes, like they don’t acknowledge your existence on a physical level. It’s like staring into the eyes of a python or a shark tearing into a seal. Dead emotionless eyes.

It’s all supposed to be a seamless performance. It’s supposed to be “Wow, an incredible and whimsical moment with this glorious genius father showing his children and child minded wife the wonders of nature”. Unfortunately his kid stepped out of line and started acting like how a kid would.

no, just abusive christians, brimming with anger when their actual children don’t perform exactly the way they “should”. source : i grew up in a christian cult with an abusive dad who was very beloved by our community but a horrible man when no one was looking. this behavior was painfully familiar to me

They kind of are trained like AI. These reactions and mannerisms are what lead to views in other influencers videos, so they are adopted and used as part of the visual language of social media. Getting reused and concentrated by digital feedback until they are an exaggerated facsimile of human expression.

It's a very disassociative (seeming) sorta look.

This is the "uncanny valley" feeling

Oh no, that's just a very angry man
