Um. You think a character's "most defining trait" is a physical characteristic of theirs that they had no control over, and yet you accuse others of being shallow?

lolokay.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I don't even watch this show but I agree with OP that his most defining physical characteristic is baldness. With hair he looks like your average protagonist. Give him orange hair and he'd be Ichigo. I don't see how they're wrong about it being relatively the most defining trait.

Considering the entire secret is about physical traits.

[ill_omened]

It's his most defining feature in universe.

[diet_poison]

I was under the impression that losing his hair was a process he went through in canon (or maybe in his backstory) that helped to define him, based on the secret.

[ketita]

I mean, his superhero name is "Caped Baldy". I'd argue that it's pretty fundamental to his visual design in his superpowered mode, yes.

[(Anonymous)]

i mean do you even watch this show

[(Anonymous)]

I don't watch One Punch Man. But I always recognise it because of the main character's baldness. With the hair, he looks like every other brooding anime boy. With the hair he just looks generic.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon who replied above at the exact same minute: yup. I agree.

[(Anonymous)]

Or, you know, people can like what they want and they are allowed to not find a bald guy cute. Considering there is a canon image of him with hair, it's not like they're making shit up.

[(Anonymous)]

If they don't find bald guy cute then why not just find another character to like?

[(Anonymous)]

Lol considering he appears with hair for like 5 minutes in canon and then the entire rest of the time he's bald, it is absolutely fucking ridiculous and I absolutely judge the fuck out of everyone who pulls "Saitama has hair again" magical BS like the secret mentioned (it's all over A03). It makes literally no sense within a shipping context either. Genos had never even met Saitama-with-hair.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a bit confused. I'm not in this fandom, but I see it all the time on my dash and... in 99.99% (I might even say 100% cause I don't remember any, but maybe I forgot one or two) of the shippy fanart and whatnot, the guy is bald. If he's not, it's a joke and he'll be at the end of the comic strip or whatever.
There are also people crying about how they're attracted to an 'egg' aka a bald guy a lot, so... (but I guess my experience doesn't really count, since I'm not in the fandom)

[(Anonymous)]

He loses his hair in the first episode.

[(Anonymous)]

The 'egg' thing more refers to his constant ":D" faces, like this:

But yeah, there's a lot of this type of fanart floating around:

http://40.media.tumblr.com/ae6625ac0f2153c0b88cf40e3129631d/tumblr_nzssivnyq41qcoajko1_1280.jpg ("I didn't recognize you sensai, the artist that drew this thinks you're ugly as fuck bald but a random mop of black hair suddenly makes you good looking!")

[gobbledigook]

I think it's nice that you want to uphold the value of his baldness.

[(Anonymous)]

NA

He's adorable bald tbh and if people can't see that then more for me, I'll hoard All The Bald Saitamas.

[nightscale]

I must be missing the Saitama with hair thing in fandom, because aside from a few bits of fanart depicting him with hair and a few fics with him having hair(and most of those were modern AU's) I've barely seen it. Like 99% of the stuff I see is canon bald Saitama, I see more Genos with random human bits tbh.

[ketita]

I know what you mean, it miffs me too.
My only argument is that THIS is the real Saitama...

[(Anonymous)]

I think you care about this more than you should. Also, you do realize Genos and Saitama aren't an actual couple? Just let people enjoy the characters they way they want to.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a Genos fangirl4lyfe so I don't really care at the end of the day.

[iggy]

okay but did you just compare removing an actual disability (Bucky's missing arm) to giving a bald guy hair? Uh...

[(Anonymous)]

I will always find it strange that it's considered acceptable to make fun of baldness. Even with how PC everything is nowadays and Tumblr insisting it's wrong to insult someone based on a "physical abnormality", picking on someone for being bald is still fair game. Do people not realize how traumatic something like Alopecia is?

[(Anonymous)]

It's weird to me that shipping is so important to a show that is literally a parody of action manga.

[(Anonymous)]

I totally get your point, OP. Fandom can be shallow.

More for us, I guess!
