Face-Blindness Strikes Again
May. 29th, 2016 04:29 pmDue to my prosopagnosia, I often have trouble telling similar-looking people apart, especially on TV.* There is currently a discover commercial with two blonde women, one a credit card user and one the Real!Live!Discover person she talks to when she calls the number.
Are these women supposed to be twins? Because they look exactly alike to me, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything more than that they're similar looking.
*This is the other reason I prefer shows with diverse casts--it means I can tell the characters apart! Like, if it's a bunch of Hollywood-cute white guys? Yeah, they all look the same, and my only hope is that they have different enough voices that I can tell who's who. I mean, primarily, I prefer diverse casts because representation is IMPORTANT. But for purely selfish reasons, it's a lot easier for me to enjoy something when I don't have to struggle to identify who's who. (I think this may be part of the reason why I imprinted on Star Trek so hard as a kid--racially diverse main cast, PLUS aliens, PLUS everyone is color-coded!)
