I'm not (one) angry gamer about something I've never even heard about, but I'm just so tired of these fucking Sideshow Bob haircuts everywhere (even on a White House spokeswomxn nowadays) (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Only thing that beats it is the half shaved head

A shaved head on a woman shows you that she either has or is cancer.

Very rarely the former too. With how many wig companies there are offering free passes to cancer victims, you never intentionally see bald women nowadays.

I would not classify those who have cancer and don't want to wear a wig along with those who shave their heads. Some people object to artificiality.

It fits in cyberpunk genre.

Because the shaved side contains plugs for cyberspace/neural net connectivity?

Freaky hairstyles are also a part of tribal recognition, alongside tattoos/face paint, and cyberpunk worlds are usually pretty tribalist.

Yep, very dystopic.

It's like round 2 of blackploitation with the amount of afros, they really can only picture a black woman only in an afro

Why oppress a people when you can get them to oppress themselves?

Further proof that the future of gaming is the indy market: I didn't even know what this headline was referring to until I came to the comments of this post.

The only reason people gave a shit about Deathloop was because Arkane put Black people in it.

I have a feeling that arkane’s falloff as a reliable developer could be explained with just two photographs, one of the staff five years ago and one of the staff today.

The polar opposite of the Twitter before and after photograph.

but after the BLM riots

This trend was noted a few years before 2020. I think it was an E3 specifically where someone made a collage of all the interchangeable black afro girls in so many trailers. Most of which didn't come out, like Beyond Good & Evil 2.

The old-school Afro said basically the same thing.

I find Afro hair gross and distracting, even worse than men with absurdly long beards. But both hairstyles shout “look at me!” It’s grating.

Depends, some of them are pretty good, and lead to the rise of entire genres in gaming.

Siderant:* The narrative that all gamers are sexist pigs who hate women has always been odd to me when you have characters like samus aran, Lara Croft, Jill Valentine, etc. who are beloved by gamers, right alongside Mario, Nathan Drake, Chris Redfield, etc.

Of course the normies who don't pay attention to gaming unless it's on a cellphone don't really get this, which makes it a useful attack vector, but it was always a bit funny to me anyway.
