First theorized by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, the Uncanny Valley basically states that the closer a robot or other nonhuman entity gets to resembling a human, the more humans will like and empathize with it.
However, there is a point in development where humans instead become strongly repulsed by the barely-human robot/entity. Fortunately, this effect fades as the robot/entity becomes less distinguishable from a human.
Although hotly debated, the theory is present in many sci-fi movies and the like, and has been used to explain people's reactions to some computer generated characters.

I can't get into "Rumble Roses" because the girls just don't look quite right to me. I guess it's the Uncanny Valley at work.

Get the Uncanny Valley mug.A completely unique girl. Often stunning and has a great personality. They love to have fun, but at times they are low-key and calm. They are friends with nearly everybody, and if they aren't, they have a good reason behind it. Vayda is probably the coolest person you'll ever meet. Very down to earth and sweet. Charismatic, for sure. You'd be very lucky to meet one. Once you do, never let them go.

You see that guy over there crowding that chick about his new vaporizer? He doesn't even know her. Seems like a vapist to me.

Get the Vapist mug.A vadge is a term used to describe those who take pleasure from the unhappiness of others. If they suspect that someone may be enjoying themselves they will go to extreme lengths to cause unhappiness. Due to their frequent repeated use of the same phrase they are often mistaken as the son of a Plastic John, however a genetic investigation has showed that vadges are not 100% human, but the results of failed test tube experiments.
