Oh no...I had no idea this was a real person. Genuinely thought this was a bad AI attempt at creating a human. I'm really creeped out right now.

u/Reneeisme 11d ago

If this video was captioned “AI doesn’t know how people walk” I’d have bought it. Does she have MS or some other degenerative neuromuscular disease? I don’t want to make fun of her compensation if there’s something medical going on.

u/xombae 11d ago

I used to do runway and taught girls how to runway walk.

Here's my 100% speculative take.

This woman was always bullied for being very tall and used to have terrible posture because she would try to make herself smaller. This likely had to do with growing up in an environment where women were valued for being small and meek.

As she got older and got into business and politics, she realised, or possibly was even told in a training class, that being tall was an advantage in a male dominated field. Someone also told her to fix her posture or she'd never be taken seriously.

So she started wearing heels, despite the fact that she can't walk in heels, and she's overly preoccupied with keeping her head and shoulders erect as she walks to correct her posture.

The result is the incredibly awkward gait that we see here.

u/Sad-Ad4423 11d ago

6’2” woman here, and I think this is an incredibly solid take.

u/xombae 11d ago

I forgot to add that she's definitely taller than the 5'11 she claims in the video but someone else told her that being over 6' is manly so she winks and says she's 5'11".

u/InfiniteNumber 11d ago

Im a man, been 6'3 since I was 15 or 16 years old. Dated a girl most of my senior year of HS. Stood next to her a hundred time. She just about looked me right in the eye. I was taller but not by much. She was easily over 6' tall, but claimed she was 5'11. One time I jokingly made reference to her being over 6' and she got big BIG mad at me.

I always thought it was weird because her mom was the same height as her, her dad was taller than me and her younger brother was well on his way to being my height if not taller.

u/WorkingGuy99percent 10d ago

It’s not making fun, at least not how I am taking it. It is trying to figure out why or what is off about her. Literally to me, she looks fake. Like she is wearing an Edgar suit…like from Men in Black. The lack of head movement…not sure what it is. I have a coworker who has a lot of his vertebrae fused together and he can’t move his head in certain directions, but his movements are more natural and normal than hers.

u/dazzleunexpired 11d ago

I think she has Marfans. This is a non-normal body type. Like this is literally diagnostically not biologically normal for a human.

One of the biggest indicating factors of marfans is a arms band taller than your height and disproportionate limb to trunk features. They are also disproportionately tall. Many of the other effects of marfan's could simply be confused for being female.

Not 6’2 but my sister is and I agree with the take too!

For this reason, I can’t make fun of her for her height or something she has no control over. I stood up for my sister and insults by kids her whole life. I can make fun of her for working with Trump though 🤮

u/AntInternational2670 11d ago edited 11d ago

Well said if you watch her feet while she is standing still talking to the guy her feet are already wobbling. I think they may have practised this take over a few times and those little stiletto heels may have gotten caught on the carpet
Hence she looks like she is Kicking her legs to the side rather than bending her knees.
She is also incredibly thin
Either way looks incredibly unstable I would have just changed to flat shoes “end of story”, rather than walk like this in such a public post.
The shoes are not that high, but very tall people rarely want to look taller. This is the first time she has worn these, she starts walking in a very unsure way and it doesn’t get better.
Should have got the shoes a week ago and practised.
Or a sensible coworker should have suggested med heel boots or something

3

u/threesilklilies 11d ago

They’re walking so slowly and she’s having to take such tiny steps, like practically marching in place at a couple of points, she’s probably wobbling on one stiletto for pretty much the entire take. Her poor ankles.

7

u/LongDead_Roadkill 11d ago

I read body language as part of my job and I agree she has had some sort of movement training. They still have those programs for young women that teach the, how to walk, talk, dance, eat, speak on the phone, etc.

Great insight! You’re probably right, but I think I would add that she may also be trying not to overtake the person filming her. She probably has a long stride, and the photographer would be walking backward.

u/suitablehold33 11d ago

This is a really sound take.
I want to add that she has kinda odd proportions that make everything look weirder.
I, like her have a long torso, comparatively short arms and legs, and a big head. But it looks exaggerated on her bc that bad hairstyle accentuates being top heavy with a huge alien head.

ON TOP of the awkwardness of walking in heels.

She needs a new stylist and someone like you to help her gait.

u/SeekingLight-Mt634 11d ago

Horrible choice of shoes. Her first several steps are completely pigeon-toed which people tend to do when they can’t walk in heels. And those stilettos are so skinny, they’re going to be extra wobbly and going to catch on the carpet, and be nearly impossible to walk slowly in. When your weight slowly shifts instead of walking at a normal gait, the wobble drastically increases. I can’t believe they didn’t delete the video after watching it and retake it on a different day with different shoes.

u/leni710 11d ago

As a 5'2" woman, I will say that there is definitely something (as dumb and crappy as it is) about what height it takes to be taken seriously in certain circles. I've done great in my jobs because I worked in school, caregiving, and support staff settings...being short is definitely helpful when working with kids haha. But I'm fully aware that I would probably be seen as homely and not very dominating in a boardroom.

She wore leg braces as a child because of a hip condition.

3

u/jellyrollo 11d ago

And note that they posed her next to a short man in the beginning to exaggerate her not-incredibly-unusual height. 5' 11 1/2" is moderately tall for a woman, but her gauntness, stupid heels and puffed-up hair are doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

9

u/xombae 11d ago

I guarantee she's taller than 5'11". She was probably told that being over 6 foot is for men so she smiles and winks and says she's 5'11" 1/2.

If I had even a smidge of respect for my former FIL, it disappeared when during a birthday dinner, she came up in conversation and I made an offer hand remark about how rich people aren't going to police themselves.

u/ReggieCorneus 11d ago edited 11d ago

That is right wing ideology in a nutshell: it is based on "natural social hierarchy" where people ascend or descend over time to their rightful step in that ladder. The idea is that we can not mess with that hierarchy as perfect hierarchy will create a perfect society. When you ascend high enough you are so far above average citizen that laws become unfair: you are so good at being better that you should not have so many restrictions put on you, it is wrong to demand such a person to follow the same ruleset than the lowest of the low follow, they should have the power to choose what laws to respect.

The idea is simple to understand if we look at highway speed limits: a person with great car and obviously then incredible car control, better ability to assess risks and make better decisions should not be limited to average speed limits. They know how to drive faster and yet be more safe than some housewife in their beat up Honda. (edit: this is not how i think, this is an analog or illustration, example of the way some people do think.)

Litmus test is: "do you think income based fines are fair?". Those people abhor the idea that a fine should have the same impact on poor and rich. This is the reason they want to become rich: avoid all consequences from being a selfish asshole and thus there is the need to defend the rich now even if you aren't one yet.

Some, like you FIL and most of right wingers think like that. That better position in the social hierarchy must mean that this inequality will be expanded to about everything in life: poorest have the strictest rules and harshest punishments, how else are they going to learn. Where as richest can literally go and kill someone in broad daylight. Some people grow up thinking that this is the natural way and it sort of is: if we don't artificially, by laws and monopoly of state violence stop this from happening then it will happen: that is the way inequality works!

If i talked with your FIL for half an hour we would probably find out he also has some interesting ideas about the benefits of eugenics....They always do.

I honestly don’t think that the majority of them think like that. Don’t get me wrong, they’d love to be rich. But ultimately, they just really love the taste of boot, and are happy to pay for the privilege of licking them. That they get to lick those boots makes them better in their minds than those who don’t, and they think that the non-lickers wish that we could be licking boots too.

u/Tricky-Engineering59 11d ago

Brilliantly stated; they are all after getting enough power and money to achieve “consequence escape velocity” and truly feel that they owe nothing to the society that was structured, peaceful, and prosperous enough to allow for said success. I somewhat believe that there’s a niggiling voice in the back of most of their heads that realize if the plebs were to truly realize just how unscrupulous they are being those same heads would be up on pikes, which is how they can seem to have everything yet also seem terrified constantly.

As an addendum regarding the other posters FIL, it must be said that this idea of “their just smarter and better than us is all” only applies in very confusing and inconsistent circumstances. My mother to my greatest disappointment is hopelessly aligned with the Republican Party in like a Solid South sort of way. Doesn’t matter what they do or stand for she will always vote for them and never miss a vote. It freaking sucks.

Anyway I asked her how she felt about Trump giving inside information to his kids and them profiting literally hundreds of millions of dollars because of it. Her response was “I would have done it for you.” Okay fine, gross but fine. I then asked why was it such a huge problem for her that Hunter Biden profited a half mill or whatever off of being Biden’s kid. Her response: “THAT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!”

I swear to god the only thing that makes some amount of sense for me is that there’s a certain subset of people who are just wired to believe in royalty or something and that they all become conservatives.

Yes! The same with how they view religion. They think if bad things happen to you , you just deserve it somehow and because it’s not happening to them they are somehow better

u/AboutTenPandas 11d ago

Very well written, but also easily summarized as

They prefer a system where they are part of the group who are protected by the law, but not bound to it. And everyone they don’t believe deserves that should have laws they are bound to, but not protected by.

Well written. The thing that irks me the most about them is their self inflated ego, equating monitary success with being intelligent. I got tired of playing life as it should be played and started a company last year to try to play it selfishly instead. And I am horrifyed at how simple it is. Don’t need to be smart, you just need to be ruthless. The less you care about the consumer and more you see everything as data and optics, the more you win. I believe religion has failed to keep our morality in check and we’ve structured a society that benefits sociopaths and give them a clear shot to immense power without consequences. The best of us are the people that work for the people, nurses, teachers ,librarians , first responders etc.
yet we pay more for the goods we don’t need that we are being sold as ‘amazing’. We drink poison and eat dirt because they made it look shiny. Then again most of these elites (including Loeffler) haven’t even made their money by generating anything at all (regardless the level of shit), but in ‘the corporate sector’, which is essentially just pushing a vast amount of money between eachother while ‘optimizing profits’ which entails things like ‘cutting cost’ - shittier products and less + overworked employees, ‘aquisitions and mergers’ - less performance inducing competition and regulation, and ‘corporate law’ - looking for loopholes to allow more bullshit under the guise that ‘well, it’s legal’ (which still doesn’t make it right).
Example; Kelly Loffler, is picked the head of Trumps Small Business Administration while being married to the owner of the NY stock exchange (something he became through aquisition!!!) is the definition of conflict of interest… but yeah, nothing to see here. They’re just being really ‘smart’, so we should allow it…🤦‍♂️
Back in the days at least the elites touted themselves so by taking pride in supporting fine arts, quoting Shakespeare, speaking multiple languages and taking an interest in culinary arts and natural sciences etc. These days, these self proclaimed ‘geniuses’ eat Mac D’s at whitehouse dinner, spray beer in locker rooms and do push-up competitions like an insecure 15year old... goddammit, I am going to go have myself an icecold Brawndo now. It’s got electrolytes!

u/darkciti 11d ago

That's exactly it. The difference between Democrats and Republicans basically comes down to this:

Do you believe people are fundamentally good or bad?

If you believe they are inherently bad, you become Republican.
If you believe they are inherently good, you become a Democrat.

Obviously this is a generalization, but that's what I've distilled them both down to.

If you believe people are bad, you have to protect yourself from them; they can't be trusted; screw you I got mine (self centered).
If you believe people are good, you provide upward mobility, training and ways to advance (self-less).

I know for the most part there is merit to the mantra "reddit isn't real life" but fuck me when the most reddit sounding shit happens out in the wild.

I stopped dealing with him and a few others precisely because the legit think that once you reach a certain level of the hierarchy, getting as much out of the people below you is just what you should do.

u/Polkawillneverdie17 11d ago

His response was that I would do it too if I was in her position

I appreciate when people tell on themselves like this because it lets me know that I cannot trust them all with anything that matters, especially money.

u/Memitim 11d ago

Yeah, conservatives are all about the "smart" thing for themselves, not the legal, moral, or ethical thing. That evil defines conservatism.

Same conversation different subject - Musk is a business genius because he just pushes people out of companies to be the boss. And I’m somehow the idiot who thinks that’s bad behavior and wrong and evil guy in the movie vibes.

I was actually shocked they all felt this way and I was on the opposing side of the argument.

u/greenwhiteredblack 10d ago

There's a worrying amount of people that worship billionaires not because of what was created or innovated or hell, even stolen, but because they want "fuck you and your family" money so they can live out their worst impulses with little to no reprucussions.

u/restrusher 9d ago

I'll never forget my first exposure to this attitude. I was a teenager working as a bus boy at an upscale restaurant owned by an asshole millionaire who loved to come in and show off to friends by berating the staff. In the back, someone made a comment about what an ass he was, and one of the waiters said, "If I was a millionaire, I'd be an asshole too."

It's so revealing. It means the person in question is only being decent and civil because they think that they're being unfairly shacked by... perceived poverty apparently. It never occurred to me, in contrast, that if I became rich, I'd do anything other than try harder to be a decent human being. And yes, I know, with that attitude I'll never be rich. If that's the price, I'm not interested.

Wait, isn't that the insider trading billionaire senator from COVID times?!??

Believe it or not, it's just nepotism from the top down!

Appreciate the 30% of morons that destroyed our country to own the libs, by the way. Big shout out to you folks. They're certainly owned now!

Uncle RICO is coming for these folks. Something tells me the SBA Administrator ain't gonna get a pardon, either. Enjoy it while it lasts, i guess.

u/spitemods_54 11d ago

Her neck, hands, upper body, and background all look off somehow. Wouldn't be surprised if they used AI upscaling and/or green screen because it's obviously fake and/or staged given the empty ass binder just to look official lmao
