>Also, google him, he looks exactly like a evil movie villain, and he has this nasty villan look all the time.
So the way somebody looks is half of your argument?

It's a relevant factor. There's a lot of statistically significant information about someone's personality that can be inferred from their face: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65358-6 . It may be politically incorrect to do so but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
Please tell us what is "statistically significant" about this man's face.
This article:
"The reanimation of pseudoscience in machine learning and its ethical repercussions" https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(24)00160-0
shows why this is pseudoscience and harmful.
Yeah, why mention his appearance at all? It's crass and his actions should speak for themselves. Someone can be born with "villainesque" features and live a noble life, it's unfair to disadvantage them by perpetuating negative stereotypes.
Those stereotypes have a basis in reality; the way people think and behave etches itself on their faces. I don't think anyone with real life experience could seriously, honestly argue that it's not possible to discern any information about someone from their face/facial expressions and how they carry themselves.
