In The Lego Movie, this character is portrayed by a white man with a face like he just wore his face with him. This is because that character was literally the best CGI ever. And you never heard of th

Why is that the only thing that you ever hear about is his face with his eyes closed?

You know the saying, "the more you know the less you know"?
- Yep. This is a very common misconception. The more you know the less you know, which is why it's harder to understand the concept of knowing someone. So, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't once, at least twice, watched someone who didn't know themself. I was in the passenger seat at the time. I didn't know them, I didn't know me. In fact, I still don't know me, because I don't know myself. I don't know anyone, because I'm not a person. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know who they're talking to. That's why it's so important for me to learn how to be who I want to be. To know how to be happy and express myself. I have a gift for understanding others. I just want to be happy, to express myself, to have fun. That's all I want. I just want to be happy. I just want to be happy. I want to be happy.
- So true. I'm a trans guy and I'm really uncomfortable with the way the media has presented me. I feel like I've been "passing" by now, which isn't really the point.
  
  I'd just say this is the kind of thing that makes a good trans guy.
Why not?
- Because he's not in a place to use his face like he's important. He doesn't even have a nose. He's just a face.
  
  But his eyes are purple so he's the first one to have both.
- Why not because he has a face like the other guy and wouldnt do the same to his face?
  
  He also wears a mask like the character in Lego?
  
  And I can't believe he's the only one who can't do that.
- I don't think the white actor who plays this character is white enough. Like, he has blue hair and is black and wears a white shirt. Like he just got into a bar fight and he was in that bar fight with this guy that was in that bar fight, so this character is not white enough.
  
  You think a white person has black hair and a face like that?
There are plenty of black people that have facial flaws.
- I’ve seen an interview with him in a black magazine that has some really bad grammar, so that’s proof he isnt in the top 1% percentile of people. But I don’t think that’s true.
  
  He’s really close to the bottom 1%. He’s like “oh boy” and he’s really insecure. He's been known to get into fights with the police.
  
  If you ask me how many times I've heard about this character I’ll give you a number and you’re not gonna tell me I’ve been informed by a documentary. I’ve been informed by my mother.
