Detmer & Ariam

It's probably best they didn't go with the shaved head, and settled for giving her the SJW haircut.

Now I'm tempted to cut off half my hair

 

[Tuskin38]

I think it looks nice.

First time I saw the haircut was in 2009. First time I heard the term "Social Justice Warriors", someone was already abbreviating it to "SJW" and I had to ask, "What does that stand for?" That was 2015.

This thread is also causing me to reflect on how much I enjoy that Disco has running bridge characters, with maybe little glimpses of personality here and there, but they don't force it. How much better Voyager or Enterprise might have been if they realized Kim and Mayweather should never have been used beyond minimal bridge exposition!

They did realise that with Mayweather after series one I thought?

 

[jaime]

They weren't used for anything beyond minimal bridge exposition. That's the problem, they were listed in the main credits for their shows (which should be reserved for the most important characters to the show) and had nothing to do on a typical week other than say technobabble or jargon.

Kim had tons of stuff. I hear Mayweather did for about five minutes. I could t do ENt. I have tried.

I know people with that haircut and they're definitely not SJWs.

Isn’t it also in American History X.....

As an aside, it kinda bothers me that Detmer doesn't grow out her hair to partially cover her implant. I mean, I know the showrunners did it for rule of cool, but in like 99% of cases if you ended up with a big implant on the side of your head you'd try to hide it with hair, rather than accentuate it by keeping the area shaven.

I agree that the primary BTS motivation was probably a mix of "it looks cool" and "we need a visual reminder of Burnham's guilt", but I also always interpreted it as a glimpse of her character -- she rejects visually minimizing the injury, and chooses instead to display it as a badge of honor.

It's a sidecut, it's not an uncommon hairstyle.

It's SJW propaganda!

 

[Nerys Myk]

But apparently only SJWs wear it.

Owosekun has a similar haircut too

Svelte Jello Wranglers? Why would they need an official haircut?

It's actually Starfleet's Jellico Workers and it's Jellico so sure everyone needs an official haircut.

I could actually see that. Lots of disgruntled officers lined up outside the barber's cabin.

It's part of the official uniform. Jello wranglers are very strict about appearance.

I'll say this for him, he's consistent.

Every time the anti-SJW bell rings, a little racist angel gets its wings.

I agree. I also think it's possible that the device needs periodic maintenance and hair would make that difficult.

I don't care because Detmer is hot and I think the hairstyle makes her look sexy.

If they wanted to shave the side of Detmer's hair they proably should have just went with both sides and go all in on a Vanillia Ice look. The show does have some non-traditional haircuts for Starfleet people yet no Rat Tail's or Mullets for the guys? What about a Dorthy Hammil or Jenifer Anniston for the ladies!

I'm not really a big fan of that half-shaved hairstyle in general, but I will admit Detmer pulls it off rather nicely.
