What message is this stance trying to portray?

coinop

It's almost slightly threatening, like he's trying to say "watch out". Overall I find it highly ambiguous and can't quite figure it out.

It's like the look of disapproval your mother would give you if she caught you about to do something naughty like reach for the cookies before dinner.

He's some fcuking goon, that's probably the look he thinks he gives young bucks when they're unwittingly perpetuating the patriarchy.

The look is "I am better than you... and I want you to know it"

Back to making prank calls about wheelie bins with him.

Not sure it is sending a message, but I do find
it a bit worrying that some people feel hostility towards the photo/person in question, based upon said photo.

Likewise.

I quoted the message to get the link, pasted it into a browser and got a "404" error.

Quit wasting my time OP.

I realise for a busy man such as yourself that your time is priceless, as evident from your regular browsing of internet discussion forums, so please accept my deepest apologies for wasting your precious time. It won't happen again.

How long has he been using that picture now?Getting sick of it popping up whenever he's publicising something

realitykeeper

I`m a speak plainly kind of guy. If I want to say something, I use my mouth. This artistic stuff is all humbug to me. I suppose you could read anything into this picture but if I were to pass him on the street, perhaps the word "eejit" might come to mind if I wasn`t too preoccupied.

Seriously coinnap! That look? Its definitely c
a challenging and provoking stance. I wouldn't take that if I was you. :pac:

I wouldn't be a massive fan, but it can be good alright. He winds the right kind of people up anyway.

I did a couple of tests on my ability to interpret facial expressions. Apparently I can't do it very well at all. This is useful knowledge as it means I just disregard facial expressions as a source of useful/reliable information.

Anyway not sure that applies here as it's more to do with body language and posing than actual emotion..

My take on it:
Serious expression juxtaposed with comedy mask.
Head tilted towards you indicating subordinate position juxtaposed with intense look. Being portrayed as the "voice of the people"/revolutionary type thing.

But he is probably just following instructions from the photographer.

But did you do the tests to interpret body language as well? Otherwise you're just talking crap.

It’s as if he doesn’t want people to know his real name is Dave Chambers with that mask on, and that much of his humour is crude approximations of art theory and social justice which “sounds” interesting and is great as a sound bite but doesn’t hold up to a any actual scrutiny.

Do one or the other, or do neither.

He spouts some awful sh*te. I seen a tweet of his recently that said something along the lines of “if you don’t listen to a podcast because the podcaster is a screechy American woman, you are part of the patriarchy or alt-right or something”.

Thats mad.

Are you paraphrasing though Will? What did he actually say, exact words now??? I'm trying to picture him as we speak as I've studied face and body language.

He is just preaching to his demographic, 20 something kids who will scream yassss, retweet and share.

His exact words now stey. I'm trying to interpret. Is he being preachy? What was the tone? Did he tilt his head when he said it? Cant be dealing with hearsay. This is serious **** now.

Podcast is brilliant, although he is a bit far out with his stories etc he is definitely interesting.

Please help me to get this fooking plastic bag off me head.

Pity his fame didn't stay in the 2010s. We are now assured to have him around for another decade.
Things are bad when we are discussing the facial expressions of some clown with his head in a bag on New Years Day.

I've looked at the picture again and tapping in to my extensive studies on face and body language I've narrowed it down to three things he could be saying....

1) are ya startin??
2) are you alright?
3) oooooooh una

Well obviously. I said so in my post.

Actually it wasn’t a tweet. It was from an interview and it was misogynistic to not like the podcasts. Forgive my poor memory but the point stands. Drivel.

Will, calm down. I'm only trying to interpret what exactly he was saying so I can use my expertise to analyse him.

From what you've paraphrased above, I'd say the Screechy American Woman was a projection. He's the screechy American woman that no-one wants to listen too. Unless you yourself added screechy American Woman?? In which case, it is in fact your projection onto him and I dont know what else to say about that.

Well Will, this is awkward.

It’s not awkward at all. I’ve edited my post. Couldn’t care less what you have to say about anything or the silly persona you’re trying to portray.

It's ok Will. Ive read your edited post. I'm listening to you.

I like true crime podcasts. I was recommended one called My Favourite Murder but I couldn’t get into it because of the screechy American accents on the 2 women. Apparently, that makes me a misogynist. I can’t bring myself to listen to Jordan Peterson’s podcast, because his voice irritates the f*ck out of me. Am I a misandrist too?

Look Will, I can't sort out your problems for you by seeing a couple of posts. I will say..overall i find your posts highly ambiguous and can't quite figure it out so I am not sure what stance you're trying to portray but I am here to listen to anything you want to share.

Where he claims its misogyny to dislike vocal fry?

Are people being sarcastic when they recommend others listen to his podcast? I don't get it. What great insights and wisdom am I likely to gain?

It screams of "I'm a wannabe Eurogiant version of Bono".

You never hear from the other lad anymore, so you'd think Dave would have a Twitter handle for his own ****e, rather than trading off the Rubberbandits' name? When did they last perform together??

Pssst. Ruben.

Stop calling him Will. Take it from me, Will he is not!

I never quite got the bags, and have never heard his podcast but he seems to be ok from what i have seen of him. But that being said, i will have to delay my final judgement until some further research is concluded, as generally i find anyone who uses the word patriarchy to be an an absolute cockwomble.

"I make fun of the Catholic Church but would'nt dare do the same to islam even with ten plastic bags on my face".

Looks like he should be saying "gimme your phone, I just want to make a call.."

I saw him described somewhere as "a stupid person's idea of a smart person.." which is about right I think..

Someone bought me his new book for Christmas..I read a couple of pages before returning it to the bookshop..generic pseudo absurdism..

Absolute muck.. you'd be concerned about the intellectual capacity of your average punter when you consider how popular he is..
