Ein Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 okay. which one of those shitheads decided that hair cutting = character development Garnet/Dagger's hair ;w; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 That's one thought I can get behind. Speaking of, I'm afraid I can no longer delay a haircut. I'm being bugged constantly now to get one... making yourself uncuter now counts as symbolism for character development, damn you lazy writers how long is your hair? my mom makes me get a haircut every few months Garnet/Dagger's hair ;w; at least the hair doesn't cover her back anymore, but she looked cuter with the long hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Personally, I think that such actions fall under "show, don't tell". Don't tell us they'll change by changing appearance. Just show us their new self and let their actions, not their image, speak for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleece Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The only time I can think of where someone chopped their hair and it made them look better was Luke from TotA bc his original hair was way too shaggy and dumb and his face looked weird before he cut his hair and then it changed???? magical facelift??????? idk other than that I agree, long hair = superior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 how long is your hair? my mom makes me get a haircut every few months Well, it's already barely reaching beyond my neck. Usually it's a little before that when my family starts to think I should get a haircut already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it's a little before that when my family starts to think I should get a haircut already. how easy is it to manage short hair, my hair gets all over the place and i have to clean it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 i thought there was also Monster where the main character grew his hair to show how he's changed or matured or something idk i haven't read/seen monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

master egg Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 "me becoming more attractive is character development" wait so if a video game character had plastic surgery would that be character development? i feel like i just asked a very deep question.

Chen Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 MY GLORIOUS FANTASY STEEL ALLOWS ME TO GET THE FINEST AND CLEANEST HAIRCUTS, INDICATIVE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT wait so if a video game character had plastic surgery would that be character development? i feel like i just asked a very deep question. it might be development in CERTAIN areas? not sure maybe if they're disfigured and got a surgery to look more normal, so they feel more confident about it, but that comes after the surgery so it wouldn't be the surgery representing character development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondworld Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 True, its hilarious how clean the cuts that Luke and Garnet give themselves.

Acacia Sgt Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hmm, now that I think about it. Perhaps it's also due to shave as well. And perhaps this time I leave the sideburns... maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The first time I played Abyss and saw that scene my exact thought was "and now he'll change his name to Dagger" I imagine him saying that and then Tear just jokingly decking him.

Acacia Sgt Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 You know, I actually don't mind Luke's haircut that much. Mostly because of a certain someone being around, which in my opinion actually gives a reason as to why do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 ">explicit exploitation of underage women>exploitation of underprivileged people like Yayoi>the producer ordering idols what to do is nothing more but an instrument of patriarchal oppression against women>exploitation of oppressed minorities such as Hibiki who is an OkinawanYes, Idolmaster is terribly problematic that it should be banned. The United Nations should never let the Japanese get away with this." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
