Is a haircut really as impactful and psychologically traumatizing to females as some anime/manga make it out to be?
>traumatizingIt's supposed to represent a new start/transformation
>>283453771It’s more traumatising to the long hair fans who are forced to watch it…
>>283453823Why did you do it anon
Yes.
>>283453823>a small bit of her hairNow read this again while remembering the propension of small moids for restraint and telling the truth.
>>283453771Only for the uglies.
>>283453823>obvious bullying like putting nails in locker>likely you wouldn't like it if some stranger weirdo hobo with a scissor went and cut your hair, fails the golden rule>durr i'm so based praise me durr why they no like now lemme cut my boss's hair that will surely go wellIt's impressive how so many misogynists are sociopaths who overlook any flaws when it comes to their own gender and how insufferable their behavior is.
>>283453823That's a social fuck up you're allowed to make when you're six, not fucking 13 you autistic retard. And your definition of "small bit" is probably way different from anyone else's.
>>283453823Based.
>>283453771Yes. Imagine losing your gains and having to start over.
>>283454448That's a lot of projection, were you bullied anon?
>>283455003>comparing the effort you have to put working out to waiting for hair to grow
>>283454448Males are allowed to bully females and then when they go to an authority figure about it get told "he probably just likes you!" And then if any rare authority figure is rightly concerned about it they get to pretend like they're oppressed and post online about how that cringe adult actually cared about the girl being bullied by them for kek chungus updoots.
I think posters on this board are typically more traumatized by it than the characters themselves.
>>283455003Anon there are people who can't add five more pounds to their lifts in the time it would take a woman cutting her hair to the top of her neck to grow it back out to her shoulder blades.And actual size takes longer than that unless you're genetically incredible at it
>>283453771to most teenage girls yeah.They're constantly tight-roping their identity, so if one thing goes wrong they can have a meltdown.It's why "hair cut == new identity" became a trope in the first place, because women really take it that seriously.
>>283455561The day women realize their personality matters just as much if not more than their looks is the day humanity can start evolving again
What's even funnier is when there's so much focus put on the hair cutting only for them to just grow their hair back out.
>>283455590it would first have to require them to reconsider make-up as a fun luxury instead of an everyday necessity.And that's still ultimately the 1st step to realizing how detrimental make-up is as a whole.
>>283455590But women's personality is usually ass.
>>283453771My sister after her divorce cut her hair so dunno. She grew it back now though.
>>283453771we call it "character development" newfag
>>283453771Haircuts turn happy girls into tsunderes.
>>283453771Yes It is like their souls and its also why you shouldnt trust bald women or women with fake extensions
>>283453771No, it's just a cheap way to make the audience think a female has gotten character development. Women lack empathy and will never understand the meaning of loss.
>>283453875You are scum
>>283453771Why would women willingly cut their hair short when they had longer hair before?
>>283453771Got a colleague that went from unseen short haired femcel to a long haired office stacy over the lockdown period. She did not realise that changing her hair and putting on better outfits were a huge power shift.Got another one that let her hair grow out from a short bob to long. Shes short and fat but even she's getting atleast two to three compliments about her hair every day. You see this back every time. When a girl has short hair its always. "lol cute" (Doesnt want to be rude.) but when its long its "wow amazing!" (Even women become jealous.)
>>283455590Anon are you retarded? Unless you have a top tier personality along with a nice iq, you can't beat a nice body+face combo. As for who is it to blame, that I don' know.
>>283456612You can actually sell your hair, the longer/prettier it is the more buck you receive.
>>283453771Hair is like a girl's power. Cutting their hair is like reseting their level back to level 1.
I'm a guy and I'd be pissed if someone messed with my hair
>>283455363You seem to have some unresolved issues
>>283457940I think the guy who was cutting off someone's hair for no reason and still thinks it's justified as an adult is the one with "unresolved issues"
>>283458067What did she do to provoke him?
>>283453771Why didn't Sakura try to stab her here?
>>283453771Its a japanese cliché for young women, it is meant as you turning a page and letting your old you behind, they do this when they move to a different town or they end up a relationship, however is totally dumb, like the new years resolutions people make about losing weight and going to the gym, but 3 weeks later they are pigging out on pizza and beer
>>283457447Where do you think you are? Japan made females obsolete with onahole technology, where's your god now?
>>283459141Really? Which onahole is best? Never tried one.
>>283457404I didn't ask for that kind of information
I like how One Punch Man did it with Suiryu. I don't think it's been done with a male character before or so subtly and still getting the message across.
>>283453771Have you noticed that most middle-aged to older women have short hair?Women are pretty aware that long hair is sexually attractive to males. They keep their hair long to help finding a partner, but doing so comes with a lot of effort (care time and money). Once they switch from their "hunting" mentality, either because they've find a stable partner or completely gave up on doing so/became a feminist, they enter the "low profile" mode.Most female "character development" encompass this low profile mode as a means to signal that these women are not worried about looking for a partner not being a top priority anymore.
>>283457447Duh, that goes without saying on 4chan.
>>283459529Best thing? You don't need to be a woman.
>>283453771This instance could have been a good example if it resulted in change. If Sakura was a muscle head tomboy that tried to act feminine beforehand but embraced it afterwards, it would have been okay.
>>283459712What happened?
>>283460666>Why would women willingly cut their hair short when they had longer hair before?>Satanic tripsWhy would women willingly cut their hair short when they had longer hair before? Besides charity. It's probably easier to maintain
>>283457404yea and then some nigress ends up with it on her head finna some wet and wavy
>>283453823fucking kek
>>283455683And that's why humanity is currently dying off
>>283453823I'm a guy and if you cut a small bit of my hair with scissors I would jam those scissors in your eye.
>>283461043And she will look completely ridiculous, that's not your problem though.
>>283453823Unfathomably based.
>>283461207Unless you have cancer or are balding, hair grows fairly quick, your eyes don't.
>>283453823based. Women deserve nothing but disgrace,pain and suffering
>>283453823Why the fuck were you doing that to someone else anon? Are you her barber? Of course she has a right to be pissed you fucking faggot retard. Don't touch anyone's hair without permission or if you aren't their parent/hairdresser. Basic social rules but I'm sure you're too autistic and intellectually disabled to figure that out.
>>283459712The male equivalent is probably shaving your entire head but that doesn't seem to happen in anime/manga as much as it does in live action TV shows/movies
>>283459712the taxi driver from taxi driver does this but that's not anime
>>283453771it's symbolism
>>283461557shouldn't have cut it then, huh
>>283453771I never get that. It's fucking hair. It grows back.
>>283453771Otherside Picnic did it well. Mc was thinking about cutting it since she was looking more and more similar to the previous crush of her partner in crime, then she had to cut it in the middle of action to not get killed by the monster version of that crush.
>>283462662You don't understand women
>>283461207try it bigboy i'd parry those scissors then use it to gouge out your eyes. then rip off ur tiny wiener. nothing personnel... kid...
>>283461207that'd just land you in prison. seems like a poor trade.
>>283462662>It grows back.Not nearly as quickly as you thinkGo on, grow your hair past shoulder length.
>>283461207I'd grab them with my teeth, shatter them and put you in an armlock
Sakura choose to save herself rather than rely on Nards and Sauce, even if it left her with a huge bald spot
>>283463256It only takes a couple of years anon.
>>283453771Downstream from what gives them inherent value (a womb), a woman's looks are the second most defining element of her existence to society and to the world around them. Hair is a very significant aspect of one's overall looks as, among other things, it frames the face and can dramatically alter how attractive people perceive you to be. For women, and many men, hair is equivalent to their identity. The trauma can come/comes from having that identity taken from them.A hypothethical equivalent for men, whose value is largely determined by their body/their bodily efforts, and the resources that naturally result from that, would be something along the lines of building up your finances for 15 years and then one day being forced to give almost all of it away (or willingly giving it away to charity or what-have-you). Yes, you can rebuild your wealth, yes, you may not be completely destitute, but in the instant that your money/value is gone, your place in society is drastically altered. Granted, that's a slightly watered down version since for men, value to society and self-identity are not nearly as intimately tied as for women. For a truly traumatic equivalent, think of it as losing one of your arms or your legs. A lot of the masculine identity is tied up in being able to move through and have an impact on the world around you, in your agency, but then to suddenly be deprived of a large part of what gives you the ability to do so would be deeply traumatic to a lot of men.tl;dr Hair = identity. Altering it is psychological, more-so if it's altered against your will. Men are not dissimilar, just look at all the online communities made up of bald/balding men.
>>283465420I don't know man, your examples are basically crippling a man vs a woman only has to wait before getting her hair back again.
>>283465408it takes like a year and half.
Yes. Women are like small children in that they think getting a haircut will hurt.
>>283465522Suspend your disbelief and pretend it's a world where science has advanced to the point where limbs can be regrown in a matter of years. Would you feel any less traumatized at having lost an integral part of your identity?
>>283465408Took me less than three years to go from bald to 10cm from the waist.
>>283465420People still associate hair length with gender, you can immediately call any girl a tomboy and more mannish just because she has short hair. Most guys are even bigger wusses then women about this and refuse to grow long hair in case they're seen as feminine and take pride in having short hair or being bald (by choice or not)
>>283453972Propensity, anon. That's the word you're looking for.
>>283453823middle school? as in 8 year old? please don't tell me you did that shit as 12+ year old you fucking retard.
>>283453771Sakura is so hot, bros.
>>283459820I prefer women with short hair and men with long hair. Long hair is like a lion's mane or a peacock's feathers and should signal maleness, not femaleness. Long beards help this too. Society and the military got this backwards because it's a capitalist anti-nature hugbox by design.
>>283465522yeah but women are retarded so to them losing their hair is basically the same as being crippled for life
>>283453823Based god
>>283465687Alright I get it now, it's like turning momentarily black I guess.
>>283457375MEN are to blame you retardWho do you think is rolling out the red carpet for attractive women???
>>283457048Why is short hair so discriminated against? Doesn't anyone like it because it looks aesthetically nice and not for what it "represents"?
>>283453823Women just can't handle the fucking bantz, broTreat your gf to a nice buzzcut tonight
>>283453823/r9k/ tier comment
>>283466911Long sailormoon like hair that glimmers and flows weightlessly is a womans fantasy.Short hair is the low effort route. Its just like letting yourself get fat. For men its like being skeletal with 0 muscle on your body. Or having a ungroomed beard.And its not really discriminated against fully. You have tomboyfags that somehow think tomboys cant have long hair but need visual cope to signal a girl is a tomboy.
>>283467134I think womens hair should be covered at all times. Seeing the hair would be too distracting, it's too beautiful and I can't handle it.
>>283453771Absofuckinglutely it is, I mean we have the Will Smith slapping Chris Rock meme 100% because a foid is salty about not having hair and a little joke triggered her ass (and his ass because simp). Hell, even buzz cuts for military have psychological impact. Shit is very symbolic. Hair is a bitch to take care of, so of course a foid is gonna be super fucking angry if you fuck it up. Their hair care routine and payments are like 100x what men pay. They are INVESTED in their hair, way more than men are.
>>283466911It's just society gender coding:Long hair = womanShort hair = menThis mostly stems from men being unable socially to have long hair as it is a practical risk from an occupation/war status. Add to this monks going bald deliberately, and you have ALL male stereotypes firing on SHORT HAIR = MAN. Also male pattern baldness contributes here too. The only men with long hair are rockers, and those are typically still seen as weirdos/fringe to mainstream. Meanwhile women have no danger from having long hair, so they tend to be able to grow it out as long as they want. They have the luxury of being able to let it be as long as they want, just like their nails - so it becomes a sign of wealth/affluence. And since women all compete for resources from men - this makes long hair the default, and short hair is indicative of a poor female - aka a Tomboy. Of course women are women, so hair status won't stand in the way of them getting laid by men. But that won't stop it from being used as a sign of wealth like a nice sports car or fancy watch/jewelry.
>>283453823>I guess women are really sensitive about these things.This is obliviousness here is why I second >>283467119
>>283468011I feel like you're viewing this from a particularly Western lens.Idealized men in Eastern fiction, particularly in Chinese fiction which hearken to an ancient or mythological period, men often have long hair.
>>283453823>a small bitYou sliced off at least eight inches, didn't you?>with scissorsAssault with a weapon, nice.>cutting hair isn't assaultYou'd be surprised.>>283459820Short hair became popular in older women due to entering the workforce during the war.
>>283453771It's a samurai cliche you dumb incel. During the Edo era long hair was seen as masculine and samurai preserved theirs as a symbol of their honor. Chopping it off meant being kicked out of the cool kids club but it made for great stories where the hero is dishonored but grows as a person. This was woven into their cultural symbolism to the character development haircut you see today. And no shit cutting off something that takes years to grow and lots of effort to preserve means something to that person.
>>283468650>It's a samurai cliche you dumb incel.That is absolutely not the cliche being played on here you dumb incel.
>>283468426You are both right. Long hair on men is also seen as a positive. Even from women. Just look at those woman romance books and the average anime pretty men. In reality long hair on men is countered by male baldness and their thicker hair being more prone on looking shitty.
>>283453771>>283453825Basically it is a substitute for the umbilical cord getting cut in that it is about rebirth. It is kind of like how the beheading of a monster such as a dragon is suppose to be a parallel to cutting the umbilical cord to start the new life of the hero.
>>283461842>The male equivalent is probably shaving your entire head but that doesn't seem to happen in anime/manga as much as it does in live action TV shows/moviesI can only think of Kambei and he did it at the start of the movie
>>283453823Why are people calling this based if she didn't do anything to him to warrant it (or at least by his assumption)?
>>283456382>Women lack empathy and will never understand the meaning of loss.Tell that to women who miscarry in the second or third trimester or lose their loved ones they were very close to.
>>283468495Short hair (or wearing one's hair up) was very fashionable among women in the 1920s, decades before they had entered the workforce en masse. Look at the flappers from the jazz age of the roaring 20s, the art deco movement, and artist who were either contemporary to those periods or heavily influenced by the fashions of that time.

Many religions consider a woman's long hair as her "crown". Some even discourage cutting it and frown upon it. Other places consider women with short hair to be sluts (1920's US). It really all depends but it tracks across faiths and countries. The exception being Africa since women there can't grow long hair as easy as other places.
>>283469722Sorry that's not how it has ever worked. Short hair and facial shaving for men is a very recent thing brought on by global capitalism
>>283470492>Other places consider women with short hair to be sluts (1920's US).You think the women in >>283469472 (from 1934, barely out of the Golden Age) were considered "sluts"?How about the mod girls in 1960s Britain?
>>283467810You're black so it's different for your people. Black women more often have alopecia due to extremely tight hairstyles and wigs.
Why does it feel like you all know the answer, but are just being willfully obtuse to justify misogyny?
>>283453771it's the female version of circumcision
>>283470514Short hair and shaving is a military thing. Militaries start it as a way to keep soldiers clean and hygienic. Facial hair is unhygienic and filled with fecal matter and left over food, since 3rdies scoop food into their mouths with their hands and shit in the streets. Short hair and clean face also prevents mites, fleas, lice, and ticks from getting to you spreading disease. Fire fighting equipment requires men to be clean shaven to create an airtight seal for masks. CBR gear is the same as you can't let yourself become contaminated. From initiation it breaks a man of his attachments and makes him focus. It tames a wild man and makes him a focused soldier. Clean face also makes men look many years younger and shows men are civilized enough to care for themselves.
>>283470514Short hair was common in ancient Greece and Alexander the Great then popularized shaving throughout the hellenistic world. The romans then adopted those shaving habits and kept them for hundreds of years. Barbers (called tonsors) were widespread and daily shaving was considered the social norm. Beards came back in style for a long time afterwards but short hair was kept for almost all of western history. Regular shaving, partially and completely, returned and then stayed starting in the 17th century.You're welcome, now never make a grossly misinformed post about something anyone can google within 1 minute ever again.

>>283453771No, it's just an anime trope and visual symbolism for character growth.Most times when women get a dramatic haircut irl it's for comfort and convenience. Long hair is heavy and high maintenance. And nowadays it's fairly easy to reverse course with extensions if you really regret the change. Haircuts are only "traumatizing" if your stylist fucks up.
>Haircuts are only "traumatizing" if your stylist fucks up.

>>283471857adding to this:>Petre had cut off a lock of Arabella's hair without permission, and the consequent argument had created a breach between the two families. The poem's title does not refer to the extreme of sexual rape, but to an earlier definition of the word derived from the Latin rapere, "to snatch, to grab, to carry off"[3][4]—in this case, the theft and carrying away of a lock of hair. In terms of the sensibilities of the age, however, even this non-consensual personal invasion might be interpreted as bringing loss of reputation and dishonour.[5]

>>283473430They're not sluts you moron
>>283453771Hair is one the most "outward" parts of your body. You use it to represent how you want others to see you. You could compare it to having your entire wardrobe replaced with a completely different style. There's a reason why people just before chemo are recommended to go to the hair stylist and have it cut off instead of waiting for it to fall out. The male equivalent would probably be the beard. Imagine grooming a decent nordic Chad beard and then you shave it off and look like the chud Wojack.
