This is dumb but I can't fucking stand that haircut that's become the basic "young black guy" haircut in everything. The short dreadlocks "combed" over to one side. It's the same level of cringe as the packet of dried noodles glued to the front top of the head style that so many shitty kids have.

It's one of those weird things where it just disturbs me deep into the soul so I can't stand anything that features it. It makes anyone that has it look like a complete douchebag.

I tried to play the new Prince of Persia game, but quit after 5 minutes and won't try again just because the guy you're playing as has that fucking haircut. I don't know why I hate it so much.

I mean, the hairstyle trend is annoying, but it's a little pointless to complain about it so vocally.

Like, it makes sense from like a Black or African-American YouTuber (I actually watched a couple videos talking about this hair trend cause I was curious) to talk about it and be annoyed, because it's basically relegating representation to one thing.

I did see a video where one guy is looking through the customization options for Hogwarts Legacy, and that game actually probably has the best Black hairstyles of any game I've ever seen.

It was this video

ETA: I didn't realize the guy had the Killmonger cut until like the last 20 seconds of the trailer. I was more impressed by the assassin's/acolyte's hair with the red and the beads.
