I created Bald Head of Toughness as part of the disambig of Bald Women and am currently monitoring it as I work on Bald Of Awesome's rename and redefine into Bald of Authority (in the TLP right now). Part of Bald Of Awesome's issue is its staggering amount of ZCE and misuse, specifically people using the trope to just point out that a real life person is bald. That's it.
Bald Head of Toughness had only one real life example before today about how Skinheads invoke the trope for their aesthetic. Today this example was added to the page:
This to me isn't an example because while yes Virginia is tough and she shaves her head, we have no way of knowing she made the choice to shave her head to deliberately invoke this trope. She could just be a bald person who is strong. I may be antsy due to the sheer amount of misuse of Bald Of Awesome I've seen during wick cleaning, but as I'm still in the process of fixing the issues with Bald Of Awesome, I'm inclined to nip this problem in the bud.
So, should Bald Head of Toughness be No Real Life Examples, Please!: Narrative, Characterization, and Plot Tropes? The skinhead example can go under Delinquent Hair if we do so
