After looking at this tweet, I think I've identified a problem with the his design that pretty much everyone can agree on...

WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOSE?!

This is not how dreads work, they don't just spring fully formed out of someone's shaved head. The more I look at this picture, the more it feels like his original design had just him rocking the fade but that a decision was made to give him longer hair or something because they kinda look glued on. Even the colors seem kinda different, but there's a lot of JPEG compression that seems to be affecting it.

My baseless hypothesis is that hairstyles like this are popular in games rn because it's easy to have them show off dynamic hair animation without worrying about it clipping. Or maybe they were worried about him being considered too generic, but I think a generic shaved protagonist look would be a lot more natural than this.

Of course, all of this is a nitpick since his hair is gonna be a few pixels during gameplay, but still.

Totally normal forum filled with totally not mentally ill racists.
