The negative prejudice against baldness in Hollywood is pissing me off

Baldness does absolutely affect beauty, anybody who disagree with this is in denial.
However, being bald does not mean you are a leper who women will find detestable; beauty isnt everything.
My problem with certain directors is that they are indirectly ascribing traits to baldites which are just not true. Just because we are uglier does not mean we are weak minded, or corrupt. And this is what is pissing me off. Hollywood is making a bad situation worse.






"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...end off.

That whole culture perceives white people as dorky anyway, hair or not. I remember a radio ad for SK energy shots by 50cent. The ad used a white guys voice as his own while he says "ever feel like a dorky white guy?". That's racism... I don't care if it's reverse, forward or sideways it was racist. I heard that same ad some months later and they changed the ad to say little or something, but still derogatory IMO. But it just goes to show how white people (or just white men) fair in the realm of popular culture these days.

Thats nonsense. Certain races might want to portray white men as dorks, to get the real picture you have to look at how people behave. Fortunately there are concrete statistics available from dating sites.
With regards to men, whites are by far the most in demand. From white, black, and asian women. With regards to women, whites and asian women are most in demand. Asian men, and black women get screwed.

Anyone seen The Hunger Games? They gave Woody Harrelson a full head of hair with a wig. Why? Was there anything wrong with him being bald? Well, of course there is! Its not socially acceptable!

Yah... for anyone in the Capitol, but not anyone in the districts. Balding men are meant to be seen as inferior.

What about HBO series True Detective. Woody starts season with good head of hair by end of the season he is bald:)

And what about Robert Duvall? he's been bald since 60s. Great actor, always a good guy. Even won a oscar.

:laugh: He's a great character actor, his hair or lack of it won't take that away from him. True Detective(well at least this season's episodes) is a t.v. masterpiece. It will be interesting to see how long they can successively perform with the degree of intensity of this first season.

That was a long time ago and it was purposely done to make his character look like a complete LOSER in life; cant pay rent, has sex with is old lady landlord to pay for rent, hustles bowlers, etc. Notice how they made him look good in the beginning with a lot of hair? And the same with Bill Murray's character?

Kingpin is one of my favourite comedies, and they did a great job to mock baldness.

Here's Bill Murray's head:

You haven't seen Kingpin, have you? I suggest you refrain from making comments, it's very clear you live in denial about social disgust towards baldness.
