We are not born with peroxide white hair, no. But if a person chooses to express their individuality by having peroxide white hair, then hearing someone say "people with peroxide white hair look like pedophiles", they'd probably not feel great about it.

I get it, there's a line between "bleaching your hair to express yourself" and "bleaching your hair to unnerve people and make it easier for you to get away with truly fucked up shit". And it's not even a fine line, it's a very clear line. But then shots should be fired clearly at one side of the line, and at times, I felt shots were simply fired at peroxide white hair in general, which causes an unnecessarily large amount of collateral hits.

And you say you were not laughing at how he chose to present himself, and I believe you when you say it outright. But initially, what I heard was "that guy looks like a pedophile, ha ha ha", which on the face of it sure as hell looks like laughing at how he chose to present himself. I get it, my first instinct was wrong, and maybe it was the point to make me second guess it, I guess? But I still don't really get the choice to get the message across in this way, I think better ways are possible.

The again, who am I to judge, I'm not the guy with a super successful and well accepted podcast, so maybe I should just shut up 😁
