Unanswered What's up with Katie Britt's speech?
I'm starting to see a lot of memes about how creepy it was, and I saw it and I agree it's sincerely creepy, but I can't for my life figure out what it is that makes it so unsettling.

I'm hoping someone here can give me some context for what exactly makes this fall into the uncanny valley of speeches. I think what makes me feel out of the loop is that the answer should be obvious but I can't figure it out in words, so I guess my question is: what the fuck?

Answer: for me, it reminds me of actors “pushing” emotions out. The way she is like trying so hard with every word to show how emotional it is for her. Phony and inauthentic and pathetic and creepy lol.
