    I'm not trying to start a whole thing but does this seem kinda racist?

    seems like just MAYBE it's implying that having arrows sticking out of your head/your head being a mess seems like an "Indian" or Native American thing?

    PLS NOTE:
    THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.

    You're reading too much into it, it's just the name of a hairstyle.

    Is it kinda racist? Yeah I do think it is kinda racist, and everyone else that's brought it up agrees

    It depicts a "scalped" hairstyle, arrows as if you were shot at, and labelled "indian" which is a very old and innacurate monolith slur against first nations people. That the hairstyle depicts native aggression stereotypes (scalping and pincushioned by arrows) and is also called a native monolith slur as the title, is pretty fucking racist overall. If it was a single one of these things alone it wouldn't be the case. If it was any two of these things it would be very edgy and up for discussion.

    Doesn't matter if it's a game or not, grow up. It's not funny or acceptable to depict these things and call itself the "'indian' style" haircut. If anything it should be called the pioneer cut
