You know, I just realized how dumb it is that I grew up on TNG and yet have never written a bald dude into my sci-fi.
I need to stop sucking and do that.

Make it so.
You could also make it Sisko.
Never beat yourself up for not realizing something sooner. The conditions that were required for understanding happened at the exact time they were supposed to.

It's that Picard-being-bald thing: it's not that they won't have a cure for baldness in the 25th century, it's that humanity will be long extinct by then.

It’s so much easier being bald than it is being balding.
I got lucky, though, and look way better bald than I ever did with hair, even before I started balding. Should have been buzzing it my whole life.
I’m right there with you. I had long hair for so long, cut it for a job and realized I was going bald. Ended up shaving it while depressed and immediately felt better after seeing the result. Kept it shaved since and no longer worry about it.

My Dad likes to say that God made 2 kinds of heads:
Those he loved and those he covered up.
Honestly, good for him. Hope he enjoyed the sun.
where did you get a picture of me
theory; balding evolved because hair is a liability in a fight.
I just started losing a spot on the crown of my head this year!
Wife says it's still not my time, but she'll let me know when the razor must fall XD

Started losing mine in college with a big widow's peak. I tried to avoid it by going Mohawk for a year or two before it connected leaving me with essentially a crazy clown tuft. But the bullet around 25 and haven't looked back. It's nice in hot weather though.
You should've just gone full clown. Paint that tuft green and go full crusty

Wouldn't the actual body positive thing be to just be cool with thinning hair?
Thinning hair is fine and mocking someone for it is mean and unhelpful, and body positivity is being cool if someone decides to stick with it. However it's not contradictory to say "given your situation you would look better bald tho".
A white lie is good when it's about something one can't (easily) change or when criticism is uncalled for. This is the opposite situation where the criticism is called for and the straightforward advice to go for it is cheap&easy to implement.
In fact if someone is actively seeking advice, I would argue that unconditionally saying "you look great don't change anything" is a form of toxic positivity.
It's complicated.
Society generally treats you better when buzzed compared to overly thinning, especially when dating. Ultimately it's a personal choice, but most guys are happy with the results and wish they did it sooner.

I can't wait for the cure for baldness and seeing the "bald" culture fight back against it.
Isn’t the cure just to go to Turkey?
I think that is more like a surgical procedure to move your existing hair around than a genuine cure, but you do have a point.
If it becomes dirt cheap to get the surgery done would "baldness" culture start fighting back? Hairless positivity, you don't need a scalpel to change who you are, Rogaine is no gain, toupee no way, chants for no transplants, 10's dig bald men, etc.

For whatever reason it doesn’t load for me without erasing everything after the .png: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepunchman/images/f/ff/Saitama_Manga_Profile.png
Your username and pfp remind me about how Jean-Luc Picard is the number one reason I don't worry about balding.
"What if you go bald-" "Oh, like that one Starfleet captain I really like?"

I wish more guys were bold enough to go bald when it's clearly time (pun intended). I personally prefer it on them at least, it looks quite neat.
Being bald is kinda badass. Balding is some middle aged dad shit.
Depends on the shape of your head though. I got a close shave when I was a kid but my head was shaped weird. Friends didn't let me forget it either.

What I wonder is how that subreddit would respond if someone with good hair, or even just decent hair posted. Do they ever respond "no bro, you have good hair!" I would bet that it becomes a "when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" type situation.
Surely it's happened. A lot of dudes with perfectly good hair are anxious about balding.

The baldies will always be superior to the shavies. They know who they are and do not need to "craft" themselves by looking like Mister Clean. Hunter S. Thompson knew.

Is that One-punch-man and Foot-sole-face-man?
It's AI slop
It may be made with AI, but I'm not sure you can call it slop. It is an adaptation from an old anime, and people seem to very clearly understand the meaning/intention.
