Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I can't say there wasn't an element of what you're talking about to it. I just didn't personally experience it or see it. Most people I know just had the association of the behavior I was talking about with that kind of hairstyle. It wasn't really the hair itself and might well have been dudes who shaved their heads bald like monks acting the same way. Which I don't think is entirely wrong depending on the context, because I have a similar red flag reaction to anyone sporting Hitler-youth looking hair like Thomas Shelby. Sometimes it's a deliberate choice for someone to be perceived a certain way or fit into a crowd/trend and lean into whatever stereotype is associated with that hairstyle or dress.
