Why Is a faceless killer so cool, be It a knight in armor, masked assassin, death squad with NODs or a soldier with a gas Mask?
>>
Self insertion, and not with your dragon dildo retard faggot
>>
>>64430776
It makes them look less human and more mysterious.
>>
>>64430776
Mystery.
>>
>>64430776
just self insert because people are fat and low test
>>
>>64430776
It makes them look emotionless/fearless/calm while doing something dangerous.
That is probably a sign that the person is confident in their abilities / is in control of the situation / knows exactly what he is doing / has done this a thousand times / etc.
>>
>>64430776
>faceless killer
>his mask has a fucking face on it
Retard.
>>
>>64430776
Because no one cared about them until they put the mask on
>>
>>64430944
If i pulled it off, would they die?
>>
>>64430921
I worded that very poorly.
Let me explain it better: People who are skilled at an activity are cool (using the term activity in a restricted sense, OP is very skilled at sucking dick, but that isn't necessarily badass or cool). Often, people who are skilled at a dangerous activity can do that activity without their emotions being affected as much.
The mask hides any visible change in the wearer's emotions, making the wearer seem unfazed by the danger around him, thus making him seem skilled, and therefore cool.
>>
>>64430776
there is a difference between a one-of masked opponent and an army of them

if it's one aka dark vader I guess it's mystery and terror along the lines of unknown

if it's an army e.g. borg or stormtroopers it's more along the lines of futility of resistance, "more will come however many you defeat"
>>
You can't discern any emotion in his face, so you can't know if he's worried or angry or confused or remorseful. You can only judge his actions, rather than humanize him.
He could be smiling like a maniac under the mask, but if you think that's silly, you can just picture him being more stoic instead. You can't tell what he's really thinking so it works either way.
There's also the aspect of anonymity. Even if he's good at his job, he could be literally anyone. You know what Caesar's face looks like, but not Rufio's, let alone any of his troops. We're all destined to be faceless troops at the end of the day.

Ok, like fuck you, ok?
>>
>>64430776
It's all about the implications. You subconsciously understand that once the mask is on there will inevitably be an extremely painful (potentially lethal) process they'll have to endure when it comes time to remove it.
>>
>>64430776
In media faceless or bland character usually means self insert - you fill in the blanks.

That might be true for a darth vader, but then there's storm troopers. I don't know if they count as self inserts... I think so too though. A darth vader that's just told what to do - no greater responsibilities required which some people don't want weight on their shoulders.

So there are several different types of self inserts for all manner of psychopaths.

That might be true from your perspective.

Dehumanization. Hide the face, and you’re no longer seeing a man. You don’t even need to hide the whole face; hiding the eyes behind a pair of sunglasses can immediately make someone more intimidating.

He literally has a face, you dumb shit.

Everyone's saying it's dehumanizing but I think the biggest component is the added threat of the mask's function and not so much the appearance. more deadly, more cool
>knight's helmet
equipment that makes him extremely hard to kill, that's a scary sight if you've only got a sword and a shield
>assassin's mask
harder to detect, the idea of not being able to see someone that's trying to kill you until it's too late is a scary thought
>NODS/gas mask

Well it is dehumanizing which is the point. You're not fighting a human with a face but a faceless person trying to kill you.

I didn't say it wasn't dehumanizing in some sense, just that there are more significant factors to the coolness.

Masks an helmets let you superimpose yourself in the helmet. Basically “that’s me under that”

Nice to see that this artform is not dead.

>>64430776
Because it is superhuman and otherwordly.
A man is imperfect. But a living statue has no human weaknesses. It is a pure idea embodied.

>>64430776
Dehumanising. It's much less scary if you see a dude having to exert effort, grimacing, looking scared, shocked or hurt, etc
>>
>>64430776
It is gay and reddit. back in the day it was cool because it was unusual. nowdays every soldier, larper, airsofter, antifa member etc. wears a ski mask or balaclava

The mask is more than the man. If you know the man you see he folds of fat, the lines of age, the look of fear or pain or even anger. The mask betrays no weakness and admits no faults, it erases the weak individual and replaces him with a template, the viewer then projects his own fears upon that template. The mask is presents an automata, a monster which cannot be stopped short of its destruction, it will fight until it can fight no longer and will die without a scream or even a care. Animals and beasts are inferior monsters to the automata, they care whether they live or die, they attack in order to eat or for bloodlust, they are predators or at least indulgent living things. The automata is a machine, it does not live and thus does not fear to die, it will kill until it is killed and its last action will be an attempt to continue killing. When a monster roars it is nothing but a stupid beast, when it is silent and faceless it projects a sense of willful calculation. The opponent doesn't think of the man sweating inside the mask he sees the faceless monster which exists only to kill him.

Masks are cool and all, until you have to actually run around in full gear with a gasmask, then it just fucking sucks.
