    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 a gobshyte


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 555 ✭✭✭tim3000


    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.

    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.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,936 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭Ruben James


    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.

    He's a perpetual bellend with all the grace and charisma of an infected testicle


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭1o059k7ewrqj3n


    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.

    Sounds exactly like someone I know.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭Will I Am Not


    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.
