OP

(sorry, that was weird) yelling "I HAVE RED HAIR AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!" and so forth, which slightly mollified them.

So it usually comes as shouted half-arsed comments of "ginghk-arrrrrr," or "ginger pubes," and there's always a disproportionate interest in what colour your bloody pubes are, even from your friends. I think I might have even pulled one out to make one of my friends fuck off at one point. You tend to be vaguely fetishised by some, and perceived as "unconventionally attractive" at best by most. My mum said of my dad that she dated tall dark men, and blondes, and brunettes, but she never imagined herself falling in love with a short man with red hair, harharharhar. It's /unimaginable/. It's outside most people's realms of experience. My girlfriend finds herself vaguely attracted to most redheads now on principle; I don't think she's intentionally fetishising us, but that she's come to like my own hair so much, and see people who look like me so infrequently, that it reminds her of me and gives her a little kick every time.

Look, like I said, it's not the worst. But it's very othering, and it's starting to really piss me off that in adaptations of anything I like, the first thing to go is the red hair. David Jason played the red-haired(? I think - Pratchett seems to have unconsciously given a huge number of his early characters red hair) Rincewind with white hair, but obviously Sean Austin being cast as the heavily-coded Chinese Twoflower was much worse. And I just did a little research - I thought there had been a 'Mort' adaptation on Sky, and assumed his hair would have been the first thing to go. There hasn't so it hasn't, yet. But I did find out that in the same franchise, the completely sinister and somewhat childlike serial killer/assassin Mr Teatime, whose hair is undescribed in the books, has been given red hair...

sorry to correct you, but Teatime has blond hair in the movie.

OP

Looks like a lighting thing - the show's lit fairly differently to the promo stuff, and in the promo stuff he seems to have pale red hair. Looks like the blue wash in the show makes it blonde, which must be what they were going for. *sigh* Not even the villains, huh.

well, at least you have Karen Gillan in Who.
