There were hats given because " I think it has potential" but Hats aren't for ''potential'' -- a hat means "it's ready to go, right now, as it stands". Hats should also not be given for sympathy.  I've removed one just now because I don't think it's ready yet.

Right now, as it stands, the trope definition ("The inclusion of a Hairy Girl is generally for one of two reasons, either comedic effect or as a means to distinguish the character as counterculturist.") is almost a throwaway at the end of the first paragraph, followed by a multi-paragraph examination of female body hair in RealLife that would fit better on the Analysis page. This will almost certainly lead to lots of examples where the character or woman simply doesn't shave.

It also doesn't mention a far more prevalent use: to indicate that the character is supposed to be considered unattractive or even repulsive.

Neither the anime or Video game examples appear to be actual examples -- there's nothing to indicate the women  are countercultural or comedic.
