The "bald" stereotype in films and other mediums.

A number of people complain about how it sucks the way bald men are stereotyped in movies and on television et cetera.

I've been doing some thinking (because i've got nothing else to do) and i've come to the conclusion that getting angry over the mostly-negatively stereotyped baldies in movies is a waste of time.

Most films, tv shows and the like are made up of caricatures. There are stereotypes in mostly every medium of entertainment you can find. This ranges from the stereotypical fat girl who likes to eat KFC, to the funny black token, to superficial things like dumb blondes.

The best way to deal with stereotype anxiety is to do what everybody else does when they see themselves in some way in some form stereotyped: go out there in the world and prove it wrong.

I know hair loss sucks major ***. I know how isolating it feels. But I also know that the whole world isn't out to get us, so that goes without saying that this begins my "positive thinking" thread.

My hero is Miguel Ferrer from Crossing Jordan. He may be bald (and fugly) although he atypically (by type standards) gets the girl and plays somewhat of a sex symbol.
It's about time baldies get to have sex on screen! :)

Al Bundy is my favourite Baldy! Oh and Doug from "King of Queens" is my favourite hair transplant man (even though his one looks awful)

LOL @ the signature that says

"Branco wrote:
Also is true propecia (same also prascar) make man into lady? (homsexual)"

Hehehe. It cracks me up how the generalisation of gay=feminine is still around these days. Because I really dress like a woman, shave my legs, do the wrist flap, have a lisp and have every idea what the hell exfoliating my skin means.

This is why I hate the ones in the "scene".

Anyway, carry on, just a personal rant your witnessing.

I don´t know for sure, but his hair line looks too strange to be natural so I assume he must have had a hair transplant.

Ah I gotcha.

You mean like Ian Ziering's? His looks kind of unnatural. Here, take a look. I think him and the King of Queens guy are both about NW2.5:

Yes, exactly, but the difference with "Doug" is that his hair looked the same during all seasons of KoQ. It is just unnatural and made me think he has had a hair transplant.

Definatly something going on there. the forehead is very high like on most hairloss sufferers but there is no sign of thinning the thickness is excellent.
