The shape of his face is something he can’t actual control
Under neoliberalism, it’s actually normal to have wasted your entire life without having a single authentic smile which reaches your eyes and allows God’s divinity to flow through your soul. It’s actually the height of virtue to have facial muscles so atrophied its like you’ve been slackjawed and emotionless in a coma for 20 years
Which just so happens to be expressed through the eyes this time around.
Jokes aside, I think there’s something to be said about Zucc’s uncanny Valley physical appearance being a result of said soulless oligarchy. Pics of him when he was younger weren’t nearly so bad. He was always an arrogant and elitist prick, but the wealth and power have clearly fed his worst instincts and it expresses itself in his mannerisms. How he holds himself, talks, those kinds of unspoken forms of communication reflect the horrific thoughts and ideology he’s fully embraced.
When he was younger, and when Facebook was newish, he looked like just a regular 20-something guy. Now he’s a flesh automaton powered by neurotransmitters.
“hmmmmm yes, it releases the good chemicals when the little people feel compelled to laugh at my jokes lest their livelihoods be ruined by my wrath. I could crush them, but it is more pleasing to me to watch them squirm while my thumb hovers above them. Dance for me worms. This releases the good chemicals.” :porky-happy:
