r/bald is an example of male centered body positivity. does it tend to be a little bit toxically positive? occasionally. however, the broad strokes are very healthy and deserve to be commended, especially as this is all ultimately a conversation about accepting what it means to perform masculinity in this day and age without bringing along a litany of toxically masculine traits. i genuinely appreciate what they're doing and want to give them their roses as a male whose hair style is gender nonconforming. thank you, r/bald, for being kind, patient, and accepting of eachother
The one thing i learned by getting bald is that its not a big deal to be bald and most people view it as something mundane.
Only teenagers seem to not be able to handle other peoples baldnes.
Gotta be honest, I don't love the notion of reposting other people's personal photos without their knowledge. I fully understand they (presumably) uploaded them themselves at first to the public internet, but it still feels icky to me.
That sub is heavily biased, some of the guys look fine with hair, like they just turned from full line into widows peak and it still looks good on them. But then they post a bald pic of themselves and the sub goes crazy.
