The barberang is upsetting

[Silent Majority]

Is it the loss of hair that's the issue? Would giving a randomized, kinda screwed up looking hair be any better?

Maybe something optional could be added, so that content doesn't have to be outright removed, but also players have a way to not be balded?

New trait: "My Hair is Invincible". Scissors that try to cut your hair come back dented. Even if your body and possessions get vaporized by the PTL, your hair is left behind unscathed. Even the syndicate's advanced Barberang can't steal your hair, but it does do extra damage to you and (insert funny alternative effect? Like a silly voiceline, or an explosion?)

Helmet hair. Makes a loud bonk noise and does some extra stunning from the blunt force trauma

I think the issue would be the forcible and unresistable change of the characters appearance.

A "hair spray enthusiest" trait thet makes it so your hair cant be changed/cut/dyed would provably be very popular. Juat diaable it for wizards

You dont have full agency or control over your character. Other people can and will have effect on your character and their appearance.

I agree, and while I think 99.9% of us aren't out here trying to traumatize people, and are more than open minded given how accepting of the accepting this community is. 

This is extremely poignant, and leads me to remind everyone of the very first warning we get when we log into Goonstation. The one about being killed and farted on. Being balded is in the middle of that somewhere.

Being killed, gibbed, farted on, etc is preferable in my eyes to things like being made forcibly bald, or the wrong age, or the wrong gender.
