The character in Naughty Dog's new game, Intergalactic. Naturally there's been uproar over a FEMALE with a SHAVED HEAD.
Ladies with shaved heads is like the most chrome, retrofuturism shit besides having partially shaved heads. I'm just so glad I can fucken enjoy things god damn.
Women have no obligation to please me, but the rise of popularity of ladies with shaved heads and undercuts in the late '10s and early-mid '20s now is immensely satisfying to my aesthetic tastes.
But ultimately, anyone throwing a shitfit over a protagonist's hairstyle because it's 'too/not enough' 'masculine/feminine' is major cringe.
Was there ever an uproar over Geralt having long hair?
Yes, but it was mostly slashfic writers who kept to themselves.
Did we learn nothing from Chris Rock and Will Smith
