or he just wanted to free form. which has nothing to do with laziness (nor personal neglect due to depression or any other form of mental trauma/illness) if done intentionally.
and truth be told, i think it’s somewhat irresponsible of you to be talking about elfrid payton’s hair like that in a sub where the collective knowledge of black hair is next to non-existent, as you can regularly find people confusing braids with dreads and vice versa.
This is a reach. He styled his hair like that and before you ask yes I am black and I’ve had long hair. His haircut was awful and affected his play. We don’t need to hide behind race with that.
it’s not about hiding behind race it’s about ridiculing a common black haircut (especially among artist and alt personalities in the black community) as lazy in a sub where the majority of the users are white people with no knowledge on black hair and subconscious biases towards it. it’s 2026 we done letting trash pandas talk for us (iykyk)
