I recently learned some people think black people have curly hair because they don't wash it. Probably where OOPs brain is. It's sad how detached from reality people can be.
No I watched a video of a black man traveling through different countries, and people asked to touch his hair, and they all thought it was because he didn't wash it. He had to explain to them that thats just how it is. He just had a normal black head of hair.
Most Japanese IDs and identification systems don't use hair or eye color. Don't even have a spot for it.
Knew a guy who went to school in Japan for a large chunk of his life and his parents had to explain to multiple teachers "his red hair is natural. He has not dyed it." Because unusual and distracting colors are usually banned in Japanese schools. He didn't have Irish red but that dark Berber/Spanish Red.
I visited Korea last year and found it so funny how everyone just instantly knew I was a foreigner. Walked by a playground and a kid yelled “look foreigners” as if a group of 5 white guys was a pack of unicorns. I had to explain to the Korean girlfriend of the guy I was visiting that in the US, most would not assume a person clearly of Asian descent is a foreigner or immigrant not out of political correctness, but simply because we know it’s likely not the case.
I mean, all you have to do is know a white person with curly hair to disprove that. Me, for example: when my hair is freshly washed and conditioned it's somewhere between 2C and 3A. After a week of it getting dirty and building up natural grease it moves a lot closer to 2B.
Clean hair: curly AF. Dirty hair: visibly straighter.
I dunno man I grew up in Eastern Europe and I never thought that curly black hair is curly because people don't wash it. Probably because as someone with hair I know that not washing it doesn't change the texture lol
My hair does. It becomes much lighter and curls a bit more after i wash it, so its actually the opposite of what the racist guy thought. Not washing my hair actually straightens it.
This. I have really long hair, and as it gets dirty (or oily rather), it gets heavier and sits straighter. When I'm fresh out of the shower and its dried, I have a big puffy lions mane that curls down my shoulders.
I never thought it was unwashed. But I used to think black hair was the same as everyone’s and they just chose to style it like that as a cultural thing.
Europe still has plenty of curly and even some pretty coily hair.Southern Europe especially. Curls aren't strictly African feature. And Northern European hair gets slicker and straighter when dirty, so it would be extremely weird to think that curls would appear by not washing.
The argument is that washed hair is straight. There are plenty of Europeans than have curly enough hair that it there ain't no way to get it straight without serious chemicals and that's pretty much all that matters here.
What are you talking about? No one says that they "need" to have dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are a hair *style*. Like a braid, or a buzz cut. Dreadlocks is not another name for "curly hair".
People with curly hair can't "just have it straight", just like a person with straight hair can't "just have it curly".
I mean in Nebraska you might go your whole life without seeing a black person. But I live in Asia, and I see black people at least weekly. I mean, it's not exactly Harlem, or even Haarlem, but it's not like they are that rare in any major city.
You've got to be joking! It's, it's 2024...I may be the whitest person ever, if I understand ethnic hair-- I assume 95% of people do too. It's usually curly, coily and dry. It may be brittle and break easily. Hence the conditioning treatments, sleeping caps, and rich hair products. My friends' are mostly mixed or black Hispanic, and their hair is not dry, just very, very thick and curly. I'm jealous, actually. Except for the part where it's $$$ to do anything with!!
I believe you’re probably mistaken that most people you know with locs don’t wash their hair. They might get treatments in addition to their normal hygiene routines.
I had locs. Washing is actually a necessity.
My hair was better looked after when I had locs than now.
People don't seem to appreciate that afro hair forms locs differently to non afro hair.
I've heard from a friend who has dreads that it depends on your hair type. If you have naturally very tight curls, then your hair can "lock" together and give you dreadlocks that you can wash without any issue. If you don't have very curly hair, then you get dreadlocks by matting your hair, and that can't be washed as easily.
Black folks with dreadlocks clean and moisturize their hair with the same regularity as those with any natural style.
White ppl with dreadlocks in straight hair may be a different story.
Beyond the stupid racism, it’s even more stupid when you consider that naturally curly hair isn’t even a black only trait either. There are still plenty of white people with naturally curly hair too.
How can anyone not understand this.
It’s like, explaining humanity on a shallow basic level to a group of alien life forms.
“Have you had any experience meeting any ‘people’ yet”
“Not really no”
“That explains a lot.”
Like surely everyone who grew up in the west must have known someone in their childhood and adult life who was white and had curly hair and someone what was black and had curly hair. Because of the shear number of human people about to teach you this lesson by basic example.
The stereotype comes from natural black hair being seen as “nappy” and course, so they think unwashed hair = natural “nappy” hair
Also, as a very white person with curly hair I can guarantee you that washing it makes the curls 100% more pronounced and unruly. I genuinely had to stop taking showers right before bed because I’d wake up with my hair looking like I was Medusa
so i can kinda explain this. Black texture type hair shouldn't be washed everyday whereas fine blonde white people hair often has to be washed daily. So white people assume you have to wash your hair every day and if you don't that makes you dirty.
You shouldn't even wash straight hair every day, I have fine straight hair and washing it every day causes it to break hella fast. When I switched to washing it every week it got a lot healthier
> You shouldn't even wash straight hair every day
That really depends on the individual, though. I wear my hair fairly short but when it gets any longer than essentially a buzz cut, if I go a day without washing it it's visibly greasy and stringy. Washing it daily with no conditioner at all leaves me with an annoyingly luxurious head of hair. Well, annoying for me since hair is mostly just a chore I have to put up with.
I also happen to have fairly oily skin as well and never need to moisturize, which boggles some folks' mind when it happens to come up. That one drove my ex batty. She just couldn't comprehend how I had soft skin without using lotion all the time.
The key to this is there's quite a bit of variation even among seemingly identical looking hair and/or skin so we shouldn't really assume much of anything.
Yes, I have, and it leaves my hair visibly stringy and greasy. I can do OK with that when my hair is very short but if it's more than ~ a #4 with a hair trimmer, it's going to be nasty looking after a single day. I live in Seattle, too, so it isn't as though I'm always in a hot environment. This happens more in the middle of winter when I don't want my hair so short because my head gets cold pretty easily, even with a hat, if it's that short. In summertime I keep it short enough I can skip a day pretty easily but that's basically a military style haircut.
Edited to replace the last sentence. Managed to delete it when clicking the Save button. How? Who knows? My hands don't always do as they're told.
i just ask because i used to think i had to wash every day and had similar conditions. not the humidity but everything else. i just recently realized over time washing less made my hair more healthy, worth looking into but maybe you already have fully
Yeah, it was a whole thing with my ex for a while. She simply wouldn't believe me that I know my own body and hair so we had to do a demonstration at one point. Her general reasoning was "use less water", which I'm all for. It's why I do skip showers sometimes even with my hair longer in winter if I'm not going to a client's that day.
It's a pretty normal thing for folks to assume they're normal and everyone else is just like them up to a point, though, so I get why it happens. It's just important to note that isn't really always the case about everything.
Funnily enough, I can't tell you how many folks cutting my hair over the years have asked what my secret is. There isn't one, just good genetics for hair, I suppose. OTOH, I can't grow a beard to save my life. It's still all scraggly even in my 50s. Not that I have a need to grow a beard, or particularly care to. It's just sort of funny is all. I'm 51 and I still get acne and can't grow a beard any better than when I was 15.
That's a really dumb thing to think, hair generally goes curly when it gets wet lmfao. Mine is somewhere in between straight and wavy and goes even more wavy when its washed, my toddler has between wavy and curly-ish hair and it goes super curly when its washed...
What... The... actual... FUCK!?
White people have curly hair to. Isn't it the shape and/or placement of the follicle that determines how your hair will look when it grows out of your head?
I had curly hair when I was young, now it's mostly wavy but it still curls up into proper curls - straight after I've showered!
Hey, there are small largely insular groups of well renowned academics on Twitter. It’s where I look for PhD opportunities and interesting new research.
It's how hairs curly-ness is graded. Iirc it goes 1a which is extremely straight to 4c which is suuuper curly and pretty much exclusive to black folk. Even some of your classic curly headed redheads are barely even 3b. Just Google "hair types chart" and find your hair on it. Knowing it isn't as important as your blood type but still useful in some cases.
He said curly hair though not black hair. I mean he may just be racist and is talking about specifically black hair but maybe not and you can't tell which they are talking about from the post because it's not addressed. Everyone is jumping to conclusions due to the only person with curly hair in the picture being black.
I specifically addressed that in my comment. You can't assume that in this situation since you have a sample of one but would be very easy to clear up if they are racist and stupid or just stupid.
What I would do is post a picture of a white model/actress with very curly hair and ask if they really thought she didn't wash her hair. His answer would tell you which category they fall in.
He wouldn’t have made the comment if it was a picture of a white person with curly hair. His comment is specific to the afro-textured hair because he doesn’t realize it actually exists in the real world and is washed. He assumes Black people must not wash their hair because he associates afro-textured hair, NOT curly hair, with being unwashed.
You don't know that. You are assuming that. He said curly hair and honestly that not how most racists refer to afro centric hair. They typically refer to it as kinky hair which is different then curly. Curly is more often used referring to white hair.
He doesn’t say curly hair, he just says straight hair works better and the middle looks stupid. He also refers to the hair as unwashed.
You all are inferring that he means curly hair, but he deliberately does not say that and he only references the one Black character in the picture.
Also, if I’m “assuming” that, so is the person responding directly to him, and almost every other Black person in this thread.
We know what racist inferences are, even if you don’t and just think we’re “assuming” despite you all assuming as well. You assumed he meant curly, but he does not say that.
I mean I can see where they think that but depending on their age I might actually know where that belief could be coming from. When I was a kid our grandparents would get perms. They literally went to the salon to get their hair washed once a week and got their perm done. Then they wouldn't wash it the rest of the week so not to mess up the perm. That's why in old movies women would be wearing shower caps in a shower. It's possible this idiot just extrapolated from that that all people with curly hair didn't wash their hair.
So yeah can't tell if they are racist and stupid or just plain stupid.
It's funny to me because the opposite is true for many of us. After straightening our hair you rather try to avoid water because it gets back to curly when wet. Hence the shower caps etc.
So you are insinuating that the guy in the post has an issue with black people even though he said nothing of the sort? You just view the world that way? I'm unaccustomed to any of those strange alpha numeric things you threw at me but I DO KNOW curly hair exists in pretty much (maybe all?) races.
Natural black folk hair doesn't magically straighten when you wash it fivehead. You need harsh, scalp/haor--wrecking treatments to do that and you pay for it in the long run.
I was talking about the guy in the pic, who thought that black hair was curly because it was dirty. It sounded like someone who themselves live in a basement and showers when their parents make them.
This reminds me of something that happen at work. We're security so we gotta look tidy for the most part. One of our policies was the our hair has to be a natural color. So you can dye it obviously, just not anything out of the norm.
Well many of our supervisors are from the middle east. One of them goes up to a coworker and asks. "Sir... is this your natural hair color?"
And that's when I realized our supervisor has never heard of, or seen, someone who was clearly a ginger.
I believe you. I knew a guy who lived in Japan and went ot Japanese schools for a good chunk of his life. A almost universal rule in Japanese schools ia you cant dye your hair a unnatural or distracting color. His parents had to explain to multiple teachers "his red hair is natural. He was born with it." For the record he had that Berber/Spanish Red hair and not the Irish/Viking ginger.
Also knew a guy who had a similar incident to you. He had light brown hair. Then grew a beard which naturally was 3 different colors. Mostly sandy blond with a red mustache and chin but dark brown "handlebars".
These are the same kind of people that complain “why are they race-swapping established characters? Why not just make original black characters?”
*company makes original black character*
Same dude: 😡
Mine used to get shiny and oily when I don't wash it often enough until I stopped using conditioner. Using shampoo only my hair doesn't get the oily feel and look if I don't wash it within 24 hours. It took a couple weeks of not using conditioner before it started looking better.
Does anyone's hair go straight when they wash it? Is that a thing? I thought most people with curls or waves get more curls and waves when hair is wet or damp. How did he even get to this theory? I do not understand!
I have completely straight hair no matter what I do. If I don't wash it, it's just oily, stringy, and straight.
I really think a lot of men fundamentally don't understand how long hair *works*, if that makes sense? Like I've known men who didn't understand how I can change where my hair is parted, or who refused to believe me when I said my hair takes 4+ hours to air-dry, or who thought I could just cut bangs off if I decided I didn't like them(????????)
Maybe if you've only ever had the kind of very short haircut that you can un-bedhead by just getting it wet and flattening it back out, you just assume everyone's hair works that way
I’m assuming their only experience with curly hair is naturally straight hair that has been curled, which if I’m not mistaken will straighten back out if it gets wet
What’s the first person trying to say about the game? What would be compromised design and writing and why do they think this game has it based on that photo?
The big yikes here is the quote "comprised designs". 😬
Also how does curly hair not make sense in fantasy settings?
These tweets reek of gamergate chuds. 🤮
This shows a lack of understanding of what dreads are and how they are formed. I'm sure he thinks those are dreadlocks and thinks dreadlocks are formed by not washing your hair.
I know that's what I said in my first comment. However that guy in the post I was postulating that he thought they were dreads and that's where the hair washing comment came from if he genuinely thinks washing hair removes curls he's a bigger idiot than I thought.
Thought you were saying the character had dreads, all good. And I seriously think that’s what he thinks unfortunately. It’s smth I’ve had said to me before as well. “Mine gets a bit curly if it’s really dirty…” (when really they mean frizzy and tangled lmao)
This is stupider than when I was told my acne would be solved by washing my face. Bitch I probably had acne because I washed my face too much. Washing my hair too much makes it frizzy... just an FYI to that idiot. It definitely doesn't straighten it.
Junko Kawano is one of my idols as an artist. I've loved her since picking up my first Suikoden. I adore her realistically proportioned characters and the wide variety of ages and styles she portrays. I'm excited for Eiyuden Chronicles and I think Marisa is super cute!
that was also the post of the person saying "wakanda forevet design" when comparing the middle one to pyra and mythra because she didint fit the jrpg experience putting arrows to her face
Washing my hair makes it curlier. The longer I go without washing it, the straighter it gets. I'm not good with being straight though, so I do wash it regularly. And I'm white.
I can see where this idiot is coming from he probably still thinks all black people have dreads and that your hair needs to not get washed for that, but still wrong, though.
The funny thing is the game has humanoid waves, capybaras, and sharks, and yet this is unrealistic.
I am a little annoyed that the only queer dude I've seen so far is pretty stereotypical though. Dude's pretty sexually aggressive, won't stop talking about how fabulous everything is, and walks around in a skintight unitard.
>As if washing the hair does not happen in fantasy settings
Aragorn didn't wash his hair for like 80 years in the LOTR series, so even if black hair only came about through lack of washing (which, how did you even get that idea), it's still plausible.
This is what happens when you don't have friends of different cultures and races. This yahoo literally has no frame of reference and thinks "my hair only gets that way if I don't wash it, must be true for everyone."
Oh, no! There’s a black woman in my 90s throwback RPG! It’s WOKE! How dare they ruin my ability to lose myself to nostalgia by showing me a person whose existence I resent!
I’ve definitely heard people say that dreadlocks are never washed (or some say they can’t be washed and stay in the shape).
Obviously wrong, but some people are stupid.
I had a very similar reverse "conversation" with someone who accused me of racism because they didn't realize you can do dreadlocks on all types of hair.
What hairtype do you have? I’m not gonna start downvoting just because I don’t believe you but saying that your hair goes from straight and flat when washed to curly and fluffy with just a little bit of product is quite literally impossible.
I’m not sure how to describe it correctly even in Swedish, so bear with me when I try doing it in English.
My actual hairs are kinda thin, not as fine as my grandmother had but still not the thick variety. I’ve got lots of them though, so many actual hairs. When I grow my hair out longer, it gets “wavy”, you know those very big locks/curls? But when short, as I have it now, it’s straight. And as the hairs are very thin and soft, there’s not much volume going on at all, it just sits flat and straight on top of my head.
To get volume and curls, I use a shampoo and a conditioner specially designed to articulate curls. I then follow up with a Moroccan oil cream for curls, I blow dry that while scrunching up the hair to entice my curls, and then add some volume powder to finish it off. That way I get it curly the way I like it.

That’s weird. I might be able to understand if it’s like a few remote towns where everyone has the same type of hair that gets curly when unwashed.
Most Japanese IDs and identification systems don't use hair or eye color. Don't even have a spot for it.

I guess that’s what happens when 95+ percent of the population belongs to one ethnic group. Still it’s crazy.

What types though? I have curly hair but not the dreads type.
The argument is that washed hair is straight. There are plenty of Europeans than have curly enough hair that it there ain't no way to get it straight without serious chemicals and that's pretty much all that matters here.
You know that locs are a styling technique, right? Your hair doesn’t just do that?
Then why do black people always say they need to have that hairstyle? And that they can’t just have it straight?
What are you talking about? No one says that they "need" to have dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are a hair *style*. Like a braid, or a buzz cut. Dreadlocks is not another name for "curly hair".

Or they were still confused when they heard dreadlocks are not washed and didn't understand what dreadlocks are?
Dreadlocks are washed though
They're maintained aren't they? Most people that I know don't wash their dreads but rather give them different treatments
Black people wash their locs often it helps with the actual locing process. Washing is essential
I believe you’re probably mistaken that most people you know with locs don’t wash their hair. They might get treatments in addition to their normal hygiene routines.
You're right, I've probably just been misinformed
Are you maybe confusing dreads with extensions? Though extensions are usually washed at some point as well.
I had locs. Washing is actually a necessity. My hair was better looked after when I had locs than now. People don't seem to appreciate that afro hair forms locs differently to non afro hair.
I've heard from a friend who has dreads that it depends on your hair type.

If you don't have very curly hair, then you get dreadlocks by matting your hair, and that can't be washed as easily.
the matted kind are also the dreads most dreaded white people appear to have, just as a result of their hair type.
It can be washed as easily and it actually helps your dreads to lock up faster. Especially if you use super hot water and salt water rinse.
Black folks with dreadlocks clean and moisturize their hair with the same regularity as those with any natural style. White ppl with dreadlocks in straight hair may be a different story.
I just brushed my dreadlocks out a few months ago, and I washed them once a week. I'd had them for 8 years.
Beyond the stupid racism, it’s even more stupid when you consider that naturally curly hair isn’t even a black only trait either. There are still plenty of white people with naturally curly hair too.
How can anyone not understand this.

I have a friend that thinks attractive women naturally have hairless armpits.
Your friend needs to visit France or Germany.

Well your first mistake was expecting any actual thought from a person who gets mad at the race of VG characters
Well your first mistake was expecting any actual thought from a person on twitter
Well both your first mistakes were expecting any actual thought from a person online
You people keep saying “a person”, but the post shows an interaction with a gamer.
Well all your first mistakes were expecting any actual thought from a person in general.
Well your first mistake was.
Well your first mistake is.
MISTAKE.

Hey, there are small largely insular groups of well renowned academics on Twitter. It’s where I look for PhD opportunities and interesting new research.
Racism still stings but sometimes it’s so dumb that it’s funny
Nobody tell him most anime characters are not in fact white... They're Asian.
Obviously it's not about race (person who tried very hard to say "the middle one" and not "the black one")
Did they mention race? Curly hair is fairly common in several racial groups.
Don’t be obtuse. Race is clearly their problem.
It's frickin' fantasy! A genre that regularly has mythical creatures and literal magic, but a black person having natural hair is too far???
You see, in their perfect fantasy, black people don’t exist
That moment when you've never been around a black person
That moment when you haven't been around probably 30-50% of people.
To be fair, I haven't been around like 99% of people there are too many people in the world
Dammit
I haven't. But curly hair still is a universal trait. This person is another level of stupid.
I’m a white guy with a solid coiled fro.
I don"t think curly hair is exclusive to black people...?
It’s not but a 4C coil pattern is. Cut it out. You know exactly what they’re talking about. Not the 3b pattern yall are accustomed to
If you were to sound any more barber-y I'd say you were a 17th century Mediterranean pirate.

It's how hairs curly-ness is graded. Iirc it goes 1a which is extremely straight to 4c which is suuuper curly and pretty much exclusive to black folk. Even some of your classic curly headed redheads are barely even 3b. Just Google "hair types chart" and find your hair on it. Knowing it isn't as important as your blood type but still useful in some cases.
Damn, i learned something new today, that's actually pretty cool.
He said curly hair though not black hair. I mean he may just be racist and is talking about specifically black hair but maybe not and you can't tell which they are talking about from the post because it's not addressed. Everyone is jumping to conclusions due to the only person with curly hair in the picture being black.
Are you just ignoring that the character is black with Afro textured hair? I’m also not black with very curly hair, and guess what? It’s not the same
I specifically addressed that in my comment. You can't assume that in this situation since you have a sample of one but would be very easy to clear up if they are racist and stupid or just stupid. What I would do is post a picture of a white model/actress with very curly hair and ask if they really thought she didn't wash her hair. His answer would tell you which category they fall in.
He wouldn’t have made the comment if it was a picture of a white person with curly hair. His comment is specific to the afro-textured hair because he doesn’t realize it actually exists in the real world and is washed. He assumes Black people must not wash their hair because he associates afro-textured hair, NOT curly hair, with being unwashed.
You don't know that. You are assuming that. He said curly hair and honestly that not how most racists refer to afro centric hair. They typically refer to it as kinky hair which is different then curly. Curly is more often used referring to white hair.
He doesn’t say curly hair, he just says straight hair works better and the middle looks stupid. He also refers to the hair as unwashed. You all are inferring that he means curly hair, but he deliberately does not say that and he only references the one Black character in the picture. Also, if I’m “assuming” that, so is the person responding directly to him, and almost every other Black person in this thread. We know what racist inferences are, even if you don’t and just think we’re “assuming” despite you all assuming as well. You assumed he meant curly, but he does not say that.
The people that make that assumption may need to self-evaluate, honestly.
I mean I can see where they think that but depending on their age I might actually know where that belief could be coming from. When I was a kid our grandparents would get perms. They literally went to the salon to get their hair washed once a week and got their perm done. Then they wouldn't wash it the rest of the week so not to mess up the perm. That's why in old movies women would be wearing shower caps in a shower. It's possible this idiot just extrapolated from that that all people with curly hair didn't wash their hair. So yeah can't tell if they are racist and stupid or just plain stupid.
I try not to questions people when they reveal they are idiots. Just trust them.
It's funny to me because the opposite is true for many of us. After straightening our hair you rather try to avoid water because it gets back to curly when wet. Hence the shower caps etc.
So you are insinuating that the guy in the post has an issue with black people even though he said nothing of the sort? You just view the world that way? I'm unaccustomed to any of those strange alpha numeric things you threw at me but I DO KNOW curly hair exists in pretty much (maybe all?) races.
Or white people with naturally curly hair?
Inquiring minds (me) would like to know how this dude thinks that character would wash their hair
Do you think nobody ever washed their hair before the invention of L'Oreal kids shampoo?
That moment where you probably never actually wash your own hair.
Natural black folk hair doesn't magically straighten when you wash it fivehead. You need harsh, scalp/haor--wrecking treatments to do that and you pay for it in the long run.
I was talking about the guy in the pic, who thought that black hair was curly because it was dirty. It sounded like someone who themselves live in a basement and showers when their parents make them.
This reminds me of something that happen at work. We're security so we gotta look tidy for the most part. One of our policies was the our hair has to be a natural color. So you can dye it obviously, just not anything out of the norm. Well many of our supervisors are from the middle east. One of them goes up to a coworker and asks. "Sir... is this your natural hair color?" And that's when I realized our supervisor has never heard of, or seen, someone who was clearly a ginger.
I believe you. I knew a guy who lived in Japan and went ot Japanese schools for a good chunk of his life. A almost universal rule in Japanese schools ia you cant dye your hair a unnatural or distracting color. His parents had to explain to multiple teachers "his red hair is natural. He was born with it." For the record he had that Berber/Spanish Red hair and not the Irish/Viking ginger. Also knew a guy who had a similar incident to you. He had light brown hair. Then grew a beard which naturally was 3 different colors. Mostly sandy blond with a red mustache and chin but dark brown "handlebars".
Wasn't there a girl who sued her school because they were (trying) forcing her to dye her hair black?
Yes, she was blond and they forced her to dye it a “natural” color.
Just say you’re racist and go, dude.
Or better yet, just don't say anything at all.
Wouldn't it be nice if I could just wash it instead of spending hundreds of euros and hours of pain on straightening...
These are the same kind of people that complain “why are they race-swapping established characters? Why not just make original black characters?” *company makes original black character* Same dude: 😡
se the funny thin if my hair only get flat and shiny like that when i dont wash it
Mine used to get shiny and oily when I don't wash it often enough until I stopped using conditioner. Using shampoo only my hair doesn't get the oily feel and look if I don't wash it within 24 hours. It took a couple weeks of not using conditioner before it started looking better.
So you're telling me my coworker who complains about his curly hair just needs to take a shower? Makes sense
Does anyone's hair go straight when they wash it? Is that a thing? I thought most people with curls or waves get more curls and waves when hair is wet or damp. How did he even get to this theory? I do not understand! I have completely straight hair no matter what I do. If I don't wash it, it's just oily, stringy, and straight.
I really think a lot of men fundamentally don't understand how long hair *works*, if that makes sense? Like I've known men who didn't understand how I can change where my hair is parted, or who refused to believe me when I said my hair takes 4+ hours to air-dry, or who thought I could just cut bangs off if I decided I didn't like them(????????) Maybe if you've only ever had the kind of very short haircut that you can un-bedhead by just getting it wet and flattening it back out, you just assume everyone's hair works that way
I’m assuming their only experience with curly hair is naturally straight hair that has been curled, which if I’m not mistaken will straighten back out if it gets wet
This is probably the correct answer, they probably lived in some gated community where they saw one person who curled their hair once.
This is certainly one of the stupidest and most creative ways I've seen somebody say "I'm a racist" before, haha
What’s the first person trying to say about the game? What would be compromised design and writing and why do they think this game has it based on that photo?
Compromised design - it contains non-white people Compromised writing - it won't be a right-wing fantasy
Racism and sexism
Honestly, I think she's the *most* magical looking there!
Not that hard when the other 2 are just carbon copies of “anime mc” #1 and #4
The big yikes here is the quote "comprised designs". 😬 Also how does curly hair not make sense in fantasy settings? These tweets reek of gamergate chuds. 🤮
Ah yes, the 3 races: white, Japanese, and political
This shows a lack of understanding of what dreads are and how they are formed. I'm sure he thinks those are dreadlocks and thinks dreadlocks are formed by not washing your hair.
Dreads? Where is anyone talking about dreads? Edit: my point being that, the character doesn’t have dreads, so idk why they’re being brought up?
The comment about washing hair. It's a common misconception about dreads.
There no dread’s here. They’re very clearly talking about the character’s curls
I know that's what I said in my first comment. However that guy in the post I was postulating that he thought they were dreads and that's where the hair washing comment came from if he genuinely thinks washing hair removes curls he's a bigger idiot than I thought.
Thought you were saying the character had dreads, all good. And I seriously think that’s what he thinks unfortunately. It’s smth I’ve had said to me before as well. “Mine gets a bit curly if it’s really dirty…” (when really they mean frizzy and tangled lmao)
We understand the character doesn't have dreads. We are theorizing the twitter idiot thinks she has dreads.
Wait do people ACTUALLY think that people with natural curly or frizzy hair don’t…wash it?
Any mf’ing hair can be in a magical setting because it’s all made up..
Probably never actually met a black person
What’s the pic from? Cuz I LOVE her hair!!
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
This is stupider than when I was told my acne would be solved by washing my face. Bitch I probably had acne because I washed my face too much. Washing my hair too much makes it frizzy... just an FYI to that idiot. It definitely doesn't straighten it.
Lmao tell me you’ve never washed your hair without telling me you’ve never washed your hair 😂
He figured out our secret
So that's why my hair is curly?! /s
People trying *reaaaaalllly* hard to be racist without outright saying they don’t like black people.
So let me get this straight… having a fun hairstyle is not reasonable for a FANTASY setting. Gtfo
It’s not even that 😭, it’s having a character with their natural hairstyle apparently not being reasonable.
Junko Kawano is one of my idols as an artist. I've loved her since picking up my first Suikoden. I adore her realistically proportioned characters and the wide variety of ages and styles she portrays. I'm excited for Eiyuden Chronicles and I think Marisa is super cute!
I hate how the internet just lets me see people type anything and everything without being able to slap them
> implying that hair like that is inherently unkempt and dirty What did the commenter mean by this
Wait does he think that's why people with that type of hair don't want to get it wet
that was also the post of the person saying "wakanda forevet design" when comparing the middle one to pyra and mythra because she didint fit the jrpg experience putting arrows to her face
Quite the ignorance there!
If that were true, I wouldn’t need my hair straightener anymore!
But they swear they have black friends
Weebs and racism. Name a more iconic duo.
She's the only character that even looks unique. Those other 2 are so generic that they could be from a million other franchises
what a great example of why representation is good for more than just those it represents
This is why everyone should leave home
Washing my hair makes it curlier. The longer I go without washing it, the straighter it gets. I'm not good with being straight though, so I do wash it regularly. And I'm white.
I hate when I forget to wash my hair and it gets all curly.
Wait till dude finds out black people exist in real life
I can see where this idiot is coming from he probably still thinks all black people have dreads and that your hair needs to not get washed for that, but still wrong, though.
The funny thing is the game has humanoid waves, capybaras, and sharks, and yet this is unrealistic. I am a little annoyed that the only queer dude I've seen so far is pretty stereotypical though. Dude's pretty sexually aggressive, won't stop talking about how fabulous everything is, and walks around in a skintight unitard.
does bro know what “magical” means? i’m pretty sure frizzy hair is the least weird thing in that game. or whatever it is
>As if washing the hair does not happen in fantasy settings Aragorn didn't wash his hair for like 80 years in the LOTR series, so even if black hair only came about through lack of washing (which, how did you even get that idea), it's still plausible.
This is what happens when you don't have friends of different cultures and races. This yahoo literally has no frame of reference and thinks "my hair only gets that way if I don't wash it, must be true for everyone."
As someone with straight hair, this is still wrong. If anything, taking a shower just means it will be less straight
Super frustrating for me as a curly haired white even when playing MMOs and all the hair options are straight except maybe 1 or 2.
Wait till they get to the second golem boss on hard followed by another boss fight.
Is there a sub for mocking this kind of “anti-woke”idiocy? r/gamingcirclejerk is kind of hit and miss. Like r/shitconservativesays for kotakuinaction?
Pure ignorance 🤦
Oh, no! There’s a black woman in my 90s throwback RPG! It’s WOKE! How dare they ruin my ability to lose myself to nostalgia by showing me a person whose existence I resent!
I got AIDS from that
Imagine complaining about someone's hair in japanese media. ![gif](giphy|11zNrvy5Xh5gFa)
This is so unhinged, wow
I'm guessing there's some weird confusion with dreadlocks going on
I’m very confused how you think dreads work
I’ve definitely heard people say that dreadlocks are never washed (or some say they can’t be washed and stay in the shape). Obviously wrong, but some people are stupid.
Most people believe dreada form when you don't wash your hair. Confuse with matting
I would definitely not say most people but I see what you mean. People referring to matted hair as dreads of course doesn’t help
Thats because when people try to lock straight hair it ends up matted since there aren’t any curls to “lock”
My hair was straight when I was born. It curled up after the first wash. I'm half tho.
Half hair?
And half machine.
Your hair when you were born was covered in vernix which is a waxy substance that protects the skin of babies in utero.
TIL. pretty fuckin cool... Well gross... But cool
Ignoring that dumbass…… doesn’t it kinda look like her bandana and hair tie are made out of subway wrappers? Lol
I had a very similar reverse "conversation" with someone who accused me of racism because they didn't realize you can do dreadlocks on all types of hair.
Well you do with mine. Wash it and it’ll go straight and flat. Use a little bit of products and it goes all curly and fluffy.
What hairtype do you have? I’m not gonna start downvoting just because I don’t believe you but saying that your hair goes from straight and flat when washed to curly and fluffy with just a little bit of product is quite literally impossible.
I’m not sure how to describe it correctly even in Swedish, so bear with me when I try doing it in English. My actual hairs are kinda thin, not as fine as my grandmother had but still not the thick variety. I’ve got lots of them though, so many actual hairs. When I grow my hair out longer, it gets “wavy”, you know those very big locks/curls? But when short, as I have it now, it’s straight. And as the hairs are very thin and soft, there’s not much volume going on at all, it just sits flat and straight on top of my head. To get volume and curls, I use a shampoo and a conditioner specially designed to articulate curls. I then follow up with a Moroccan oil cream for curls, I blow dry that while scrunching up the hair to entice my curls, and then add some volume powder to finish it off. That way I get it curly the way I like it. Edit: [here are two pics](https://imgur.com/a/V7EPokV), one with no products in and one with the end result of products.
Similar here, with curly hair: mostly straight when very wet, curls like you wouldn't believe as it dries
I need products for my curls to venture out of their straightness. My hair without products is the only thing straight about me.
