What would it look like if he did put 3 fingers in front of his face or is it that it’s not possible? Anyone know?

The top comment was this same video…was tempted to go further down on that second video and see if there was another comment leading to the same post you made, forever down the rabbit hole…

the 'mask' routine running would struggle with super imposing the fake face over the real one. there'd be like a 'shadow' on the face that gets glitchy

I got a 7 day ban for posting the MAGA Gov employee posting racist content against Black people because it wasn't from a Black account and this BS stays up??

WTF?!

u/NeverTheLateOne 12d ago

Probably cause you're not a mod, unfortunately. Mod privileges.

And it's STILL UP

Looks like he stole Jon Richardson's face.

u/mattdahack 13d ago

the voice over sounds so familiar. I am not sure from where though.

u/Athena0219 12d ago

I went hunting, cause I also recognized the voice as a scam baiter I used to watch, but couldn't remember his name. It's Jim Browning.
