A blank stare is the look on a fembot's face that can help show how inhuman it is. It can show a complete lack of expression when used by an actress portraying a robot. Wide, unblinking eyes and an absence of movement can make the effect quite strong.
In gynoid related fiction and media, a blank stare often denotes that the fembot is offline, being reprogrammed, or has frozen and is about to malfunction. It is also often used to hint that a character appearing to be human may in fact be a fembot.
This type of plot device does not require special effects and can be very effective if the actress portraying the robot can hold the blank stare properly.
In fiction
