Hi
Motion to pull
Pic doesn't demonstrate the trope.
As a behavior trope, it's hard to show, but I'll take a shot. The unhuman vibe from this one comes from her lack of a pain reaction, and lack of an expression at all. (As an additional note, the current pic is an example, as it's a robot with a holographic human projection that gets disturbed whenever it moves. It's not a good image for the trope, though.)

I want to say that that almost works, since it's exactly what the trope describes, but unfortunately it doesn't portray the trope clearly. Ive seen human women in film that have that exact same pose and look, where their lack of pain comes from their determination or other emotion

A pocketful of saudade.
Isn't that more of a Robotic Reveal. This trope is about a robot who looks ridiculously human when it's stationary, but the moment it starts to move or speak, Uncanny Valley sets in. So by definition a still image barring comics wouldn't be able to convey it.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.
I don't even think most comics would work.
Proposing this trope remain imageless.

I'm hesitant about saying it's Imageless. There's probably a few ways to address this trope- even if we have to do some cutaway comparison, it still might be better than nothing

Hi
Clock is set. Anyone for/against the pull motion?
Not Literally Me
I'm for a pull motion since that picture at present demonstrates nothing about the trope. I'd vote for the first Cameron picture- the lack of a pain reaction certainly indicates the 'obviously inhuman through mannerisms' and the staples suggest 'machine' without skewing the picture into Robotic Reveal.

Hi
Clock's up. The overall consensus is that the pic doesn't fit the trope, so I'm gonna go ahead and pull it. Locking up.

OK, so what I seem to gather from this trope is that the difference between a Ridiculously Human Robot and this is that while it looks human it's actions, communications and mannerisms prove otherwise. This current image shows nothing of that- I can't even tell what it's supposed to be. Is it a machine that got accidentally fused to a human carcass? Or perhaps the result of some failed cyborg testing?
