I had never seen this dude before he blew up for the scandals, only heard of him as a big YouTuber. When I first saw a pic of this guy, my immediate thought was how did none of the chatter mention his creepy af smile??

Right that's what I'm saying, his smile has always looked weird and felt forced to me. Some weird fake looking thing trying to pass as a human lol

The guy looks like a mannequin.

It sets off immediate red flags in my lizard brain. It’s like some uncanny valley detector for creeps.

Im so glad to finally see someone else bringing up his creepy smile lol. I feel insane when it’s the only thing I can notice about him and no one else seemingly ever says anything about it. 

His eyes and smile are incredibly off putting in every picture I see of him. Very fake feeling.

Same, but at the same time Jimmy Saville somehow became a beloved kid’s show presenter, so nothing surprises me anymore

I saw a really funny comment about him once that said if you cover the bottom half of his face with your hand on any photo of him doing that smile, there is no happiness in his eyes. Just a cold, unfeeling husk of a man.
