Default Does the uncanny valley bother you?

The uncanny valley for those of you that dont know, is the point where something appears human, but is just inhuman enough to be very unsettling. Its something I have been putting alot of thought into particularly in how to capture it for the sake of horror.

Though as I looked into example and analysis of it I notice something, for the most part its not unsettling to me. Not to say I dont understand it, or that I am never abit bothered by it. But for the most part it just doesn't bother me.

Not entirely sure why. Maybe its because I'm an aspie and whole crux of aspergers is difficulty in noticing such minor changes, or because as the forum has seen I have a somewhat dark sense of humor. I have certainly laughed at several things people find fundamentally creepy. Then again maybe I am just too analytical. Its the whole that's unsettling about the uncanny valley, how the parts don't quite fit together. So if you mentally dissect and examine each component on its own and understand it, its not really scary anymore.

But maybe all of that is wrong, and what I am really missing is that the uncanny valley is not as big of a deal as its made out to be and most people are like me, only mildly bothered or indifferent about it. That the things just look fake and silly, not unsettling and scary
