    Flip the context

    Everyone knows you win the argument by default when you portray yourself as the chad

    Laugh. And point. Very loudly and hard, doubling over even. And then fall forward and play dead.

    Laugh because insecurity is a universal trait amongst conciousness. Probably show them a few more before the racism kicks in and they splat me for not soyjacking.

      Not neccessarily, no. There are a number of personality disorders that overplay insecurity in humans. Meaning, consciousness incapable of questoning themselves or projection to others, is possible.

      They may splat you or Earth could be the galactic equivalent of Catachan. If that were the case, well you know what to do brothers and sisters. FOR HOLY TERRA!

    The fact that the aliens have brought up a drawing about a human drawing of a human crying yet didn’t not have the text in a human language would tell me a few things.

    1. They have clearly studied us.
    2. They realize that crying is something significant
    3. Since they have included text, but no human language, the picture is either an internal slide with the text not meant for you, or they have not yet understood our language.

    The safest course of action would probably be to raise your hands, flat palm out cross them over in a gesture of “no”, and fold your arms of your chest while shaking your head, and taking a few steps back.

    We have no idea of their language, and have to assume that they have studied human body language so that would probably indicate that we are unhappy with the picture.

    What would happen next is hard to say, we don’t know their motivation for trying to communicate with us in that way, we can’t ascribe human intentions to their actions as they are not human.

      The safest course of action is inaction. Stand there, soil yourself if you have to, but never let on that you reacted.

      Become a hatstand.

        If they had done that, this would probably be happening in Bulgaria, and my body language would be different.

        Though folding my arms and taking a step back is fairly universal as a sign of disinterest
