It's funny how disturbing removing the eyes, skewing the location while they are smiling is.

​

I wonder if it's because of the dissonance, would it be not disturbing if they aren't smiling?

The lack of truly human eyes freaks a lot of people out.

I, as a 20 year old man, am still almost as terrified of porcelain dolls as I was when I was five. I can stand being around one without crying or running away now but it sends my heart rate up and I feel deeply disturbed until it’s gone.

That’s coming from somebody who doesn’t mind a two meter long snake curling over his shoulders (in a controlled environment with specialists supervising it).

Fuck dolls. They’re objects and they can’t do anything, but that doesn’t change how terrifying they are.
