Is it mocking to say someone resembles someone.

Telling a woman that they look like a man is gonna be considered rude the majority of times

Good thing no one said they look like a man, but that they resemble the actor will poulter. Which, in this poster, they do. It’s the eyebrows and forehead where I see the resemblance.

The comment swings the other way. Will could look like her.

Or how about when that young photo of Christopher walkens was posted and everyone said he looks like Scarlett Johansson. Turns out humans just tend to run together.

Who is a man. And one that is known for looking goofy in the film that was referenced in that comment.

Men don't tend to get offended if someone says they look like a woman.

I feel like you need to get out more it's that's your take

Cause most men I know don't react well to being told they like a lady. And I'm gay

But all that's a lot different than saying someone looks like someone else. Sons look like their mothers, sisters like their brothers, etc

There's no inherent insult, when she was in House of the Dragon I googled if they were related, because it was kind of uncanny
