I don’t know. The image has been drawn on so I’m not sure how he looks unaltered.

This reminds me of grade school when we would draw mustaches and eyebrows and horns on pictures of people.

I don’t know. It is just a doctored photo. I drew a mustache on my 3rd grade teacher in the class photo. Nun’s look good with a stash!

Here. He looks even more threatening!

He has great pianist posture.

@omtatsat and your point is? He looks like an average businessman/politician to me. Who is that guy and what does he do to make you so upset about him?

@chyna I was one of the most prominent figures in the drawing community at school. Really fun time :)

He is the Health Minister in Switzerland. Berset is his name

Do you trust people based on photos? Does that photo, without the pen mark, worry you in some way?

Since he is a politician and I don’t know him well enough, nor enough about him, I would not “trust” him more or less than any other politician I don’t know.

Well, since it appears he was President of Switzerland and a Social Democrat (whatever that means exactly in Switzerland), and what I can find about him mostly seems rational except for an incident with a mistress, I’m expecting this is someone that your media is telling you is bad because he supports vaccinations and government measures in response to COVID-19, and that tends to backfire on me and make me think he may be more likely to be relatively reasonable and therefore targeted by the crazy right-wing media.

He doesn’t look especially shady or evil if that’s what you’re asking.

I generally base my decisions on who to trust on words and actions, not looks. A person can look creepy and maybe they are creepy, or maybe it was just bad luck. But how they behave—that’s the important thing.

You can draw a Hitler mustache on anybody and it doesn’t tell you a thing.

What do you mean by ‘threatening’? He looks fine to me.

@kneesox thay gives me an idea to draw a Hitler mustache on my avatar and see how people here would react :P

@Mimishu1995

I think “demonizing” our avatars is an excellent idea! ;-)

Mimishu1995's avatar

@Brian1946 Do I look trustworthy to you now :D

Brian1946's avatar

@Mimishu1995

Yes, very trustworthy, and the only things on my ship are containers of Trump U diplomas. ;)

He even lied to the people a few days ago and said that Covid vaccinated people are immune. And this is simply not true. How many immunised end up in hospital? Alot I can tell you! And he is the Health Minister.

@omtatsat It’s not a lie.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19
After people recover from infection with a virus, the immune system retains a memory of it. Immune cells and proteins that circulate in the body can recognize and kill the pathogen if it’s encountered again, protecting against disease and reducing illness severity.

You’ll probably still insist he was lying and dismiss anything the National Institute on Health has to say. If you really care, do some research on how the immune system works.
