Why do Western game developers love this hairstyle so much?

Why do Western game developers love this hairstyle so much?

I used to dislike it. Not sure why even. I had this irrational idea that it was not just a haircut, but more a political statement. But then I started seeing it more and it grew on me.

Because they are cucks

It's supposedly empowering.

Dude muh post-patriarchy cyberpunk look

Because as Ive already said, a trendy outfit or haircut is easier to write than a proper personality

because millenials love it so much

>why do people like something I dislike

Why do Western OPs love this thread so much?

It's a rejection of femininity, so yeah your instinct was basically right.

Because femenistz want show how much they hate men by trying to look like men, act like men and take the jobs of men.

no idea, it's hideous. I've seen way too many cute girls just fuck their shit up with this style.

>fashion is moving towards cyberpunk.

this can only be a good thing

I hate that sort of grouping so much.
According to it I have more in common with a teenager who is 14 years younger than me because that is also a millenial than a gen-x guy who is 5 years older

wow... ok

Because it DEFIES THE GENDER ROLES ESTABLISHED BY THE WHITE OPPRESSIVE PATRIARCHY NAMELY THE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

FUCK YEAH

Its absolutely abhorrent, and gen z doesnt take criticism because social media tells them DO WHAT YOU DO FUK DA H8RS and UR BEAUTIFUL ND U DESERVE DA BES when they've done nothing. Fuck, man.

It really only works for people who already have 10/10 facial aesthetics

Is that from the new Mass Effect game?

Name 8 more game characters with that hairstyle other than pic related.

Times change, user. That floofy hideous hair of the 80's was considered hot as fuck, and when a girl would straighten out her hair she would get roasted.

Not everything is a political statement, stop looking for a boogeyman where there isn't one.

Maybe initially but it's so widespread and accepted it's not really a statement but just trendy. Like women wearing pants was a statement in the 30s or whatever then everyone was fine with it and the people who weren't all died and it's normal and accepted

When I first saw this I was confused, but not even a full 3 minutes later I just fucking fell for it.

So fucking sexy imho.

Top left, top right, and bottom left actually look good.

>That floofy hideous hair of the 80's was considered hot as fuck, and when a girl would straighten out her hair she would get roasted.
I wish they'd bring it back. The flat-ironed look is garbage.

Then why not shave it all off, then? What are these "empowered" womyn afraid of?

Haven't you heard? the fake news sites the public falls hard for?

Everything is political. There exists nothing that is not making a statement about sociopolitical tensions.

Why is Agent 47 a robot?

>fashion is moving towards cyberpunk.
fashion is catching up with reality

It's a hairstyle option in FF XIV. It looks awful there too.

It's trash and they need to stop enabling it

Bioroids are not people silly

I want to impregnate Natalie Dormer

I swear to god, Sombra has such a shitty, cluttered design.
She should've been a spooky omnic.

rawr

that woman from gears of war 4
that woman that fights cyber dinosaurs in trailers

whatever happened to a nice simple bob or pixie cut. They're nice attractive and practice designs that show off both beauty and professionalism

I don't like looking at two-faced shit.

It's plain and simple. I like women with hair. I don't like bald women. I see this hair and just makes me feel like I'm like at a bald person or a cancer patient.

It's also unprofessional looking from a business point of view. If it's meant to make them feel empowered then I fail to see how? All it does is make me think I'm about to deal with a brat. It's like problem glasses/hair. You just see these things and your gut instinct is to just avoid it unless you're at a bar looking for a quick fix but nothing long-term.

Mostly what they said.

Its a super lazy hairstyle that lets the people see it as some sort of progressive thing when in reality its just a cover for a shitty bland character,

Instead of taking the time to write a decent backstory or, god forbid, make the actual character interesting.

Thing of it like the gay character test

You either have a gay character, or a character who happens to be gay.

You can usually tell a gay character from the first sentence: "My boyfriend/husband/SO is worried about me"

There is nothing wrong with this sentence if it wasnt the first thing you heard about the character, it was specifically placed to create a notion that the developer gives two shits about LGBT when in reality it shows that the developer thinks every character is straight until the open their mouth and say otherwise.

Most of the time these games have very little to do with gender or sexuality and shoe-horn things in to score brownie points with retards.

Back to this Hairstyle, its often associated with the lesbian crowd, or the special snowflake non-binary other polycockblower kin. brownie points scored with idiots who will champion your studio as an LGBT ally, and you get away with making a god awful game thats immune to serious criticism,

Feminists still like their hair. Many just do not want it to be seen that their long hair is there for the "benefit" of men or some bullshit like that.

I don't see this haircut enough personally to believe that it's a "normal" trend. It's still very much something women on the fringe get, from my observations.

I love this haircut. It's so insanely dumb and a product of the 2010's. It's gonna be one of those hairdo's that people 20 years from now will look back on and be like "urgggh people looked stupid in the 2010's".

So they don't have to actually write the character to show they're non-conformists, difficult and "wild".

Characters with this haircut are usually side-characters with no real time to focus on their personalities. So they have a wacky haircut instead.

is that fucking jimmy nu-tron?

this desu

Because it's hot as fuck

Everyone except Sombra and that thing in the lower right corner look good though.

They don't, they simply follow current fashion trends. In ten years it will be something else.

That's all there is to it.

>She

This
Lets enjoy it while it lasts

Sparks from Dirty Bomb

>hair half braided
This triggers the negro

How does it defy the beautiful woman if it makes me hard?

Because most guys would not date bald women.
A woman who is not considered suitable for a relationship gets less attention, and in general less people agree with them.

and most women like attention.

I want to fuck Dormer!

you must not be a guy, my dick takes me strange places

Top right makes my dick diamonds.

Too bad the game is garbage.

fuck i want to plat my hair like som-brah but it looks shit on males

The why go for something that will look dated in 1 year? Why not go for sonething timeless that suits the character beyond "people are doing it these days"?

For one thing, compare Zarya's pink hair withe the blond edit.

The pink hair is dated looking stupider by the second.

Why do they use this one for males all the time?
It looks like a fucking cupcake.

I will never get over how blatantly Blizzard ripped off Laura for SF
Still it is a Blizzard tradition to make something and pretend it's something new

She'd be a good fit for a Shadowrun movie.

its fucking hot.

That woman's perfection. It's not really fair to compare her to anyone.

It looks like utter shit always has

This too. Every fucking faggot teenager here has it

>males
>posts lesbian girl

He even has the red tumblr nose

Sombra just looks terrible. Says something when nothing about her makes her stand out from "woman with clothing and hair".

Hell, what does she even do?

Why do you like posting this same thread so much?

Because current is "relatable", and sells. The entertainment industry has always done this, not all of them have the foresight to create timeless characters. Also I don't think a single year matters that much when your trying to be current, as such fashions often last at least half a decade.

Makes a statement

Because it makes women look like the female rebel-warriors that could bend their lanky cuck-builds over and plow them.

I want to fuck Natalie Dormer

god she's so fucking hot

>women are all like "WOMYN STRONK"
>war happens
>nothing but men raping every woman they see.

Reality is a hard one.

>Because as Ive already said, a trendy outfit or haircut is easier to write than a proper personality
what does that have to do with anything? Videogames are a visual medium. The only reason you have these haircuts is because it looks iconic. You want a character to stand out visually from the rest. Especially if it's a graphically stylized game, which happens to be almost everyone of them.

Same reason why you keep making this thread so much.

Because it's a popular style?

Also,females lack any sense if originality.
Refuse to believe me? Fine... Check Facebook and see how many of your female friends dressed up like Harley Quinn on Halloween.

what's your ideal haircut then?

It's the 90s all over again.

What if a character mentions their wife, are they shoehorning being straight?

That was fast.

Btw. who is natalia dormar?

Stop making this thread over and over again.

Not him.

Combed-back conservative. None or subtle double tone. No beard, stubble.

Something that makes you look like everyone else, and less of a metrosexual snowflake.

Why is OP underage?

You actually think that hairstyle is acceptable?

Pic related is acceptable. Men keep their hair short.

Receding hairline is not acceptable

Conservative looks are gay as fuck now.

no, but again its a pointless mention that has nothing to do with the story.

And to be honest the only times ive heard the wife line used is when a character is about to die

either way its piss poor writing. you should learn about a significant other during a heart to heart with the character, not right as you meet them. it leaves so much of the mystery and companionship out.

Most game writers try to jam in an entire characters life story in 5 minutes of dialog.

I like this haircut because it reminds me of 80's henchmen.

Just picture her with a puffy yellow jacket black jeans and purple sunglasses

She would look out of a fucking arcade game

Pic related is acceptable if you're 40, ugly and don't give a fuck anymore, because you've lost all desire to look after yourself. If you feel like you're in your 40s when you're a 20-something year old faggot - you need to do something with your life. Being apathetic to everything one thing, maybe you're a grade A autist or someone who has already established himself in life through his skills and knowledge, who knows, but thinking that it's acceptable? Fuck no.

Why do you keep posting this?

>muh receding hairline

Nice meme.

You were triggered because you have that faggot cupcake hairstyle. Shave it off, faggot. You're the cancer that's killing humanity with your awful Gen Z aesthetic.

A lot of people enjoy fucking girls with sidecuts.

They're sluts. They're open to eating out your ass. They don't mind getting fucked while on the phone with their parents, friends or siblings. In fact, they get off on it. They do public sex. They're into being humiliated. They're into being used and abused. They're into getting pumped 'n dumped.

So yeah, they're basically fucktoys and while many people fuck them and enjoy fucking them, barely anyone would actually want to date crazy cunts like these.

Pump 'n dump.

t. disillusioned flyover state cuck

What's wrong with having short hair though?
Why does it trigger you?

Also, hairstyles is for actual ugly people that need something extra to hide their actually uggo face.

Real men don't need hairstyles, look at Vin Diesel or Bruce Willis.

Nice comeback, Gen Z fuck.

Short hair is easier to render, and the assymmetry is an easy way to create a unique silhouette.
