Robot Kim attempts to reconnect to receive programming updates in independent short film Upgrade. |
A blank stare or a blank expression is a facial expression characterized by neutral positioning of the facial features, implying a lack of strong emotion, accompanied with a lack or sparsity of blinking. In fembot fetishism, blank stares are used to convey a robot's lack of emotion and independent thought. Alternatively, when contrasted with an usually more emotive behavior, blank stares might show that the fembot is not operating proper, due to a malfunction, being repaired, reprogrammed or deactivated among other reasons.
Another component of a blank stare can be dull, unreflective eyes, further reinforcing the lack of personhood of a robot.
Examples
- In Robotman's story CyberFem Park, protagonist Mike is greeted by Chantelle, a series 542 robot.
- As she put her arm back to her side, he started to feel a little awkward again. He felt like he needed to keep the conversation going, but wondered if she had been programmed to automatically do that.
- So he waited.
- She kept facing forward, looking blankly ahead at the keypad. She didn’t say anything."
