nah, you're some degree of face blind

(Anonymous) 2015-12-20 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently, F!S is some kind of mecca for people who are face blind to converge.

I think most people have a little bit of face confusion, honestly? That's why cross-racial faceblindness is so common.

I think remembering faces and recognizing them out of context is a learned skill.

Really? As somebody who has never confused/not recognized somebody due to face-blindish stuff, all of this face-blind talk on F!S is so bizarre to me.

How are you at distinguishing persons of an unfamiliar race, though?

(Anonymous) 2015-12-20 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. When I said I've never mistaken/mixed up anyone, that's people of all races. I have to admit, if I got into k-pop or something like that, it would probably take me a few weeks to get familiar with individual faces.

Oh, well, some of us aren't as good at it as you.

I think it is somewhat a learned skill, although there may be neurological handicaps for the serious cases.

I expect there's a lot of overlap between certain kinds of fandom and the sort of person who's not used to distinguishing the differences in faces: There's the sort of person who reads books/webpages a lot, and is better at text than faces. There's the fan of comics or animation who's used to stylized faces and finds the differences in real faces subtle and difficult.
