  Not everybody’s armpit hair is dark black and long and curly. This is what my spouse’s armpits would look like whether they had shaved recently or not.

  There’s this story that Mark Hammil tells about being on the set of Star Wars and he mentions to Harrison Ford that their hair should be wet, since it was just wet in the previous scene.

  And Ford says something like, “This ain’t that kind of movie, kid. If the audience is talking about our hair, something has already gone wrong.”

    I actually really like that line. I remember watching the latest Star Wars trilogy and just nitpicking. I’m not a super fan, I don’t even own anything Star Wars. But, the movies kept pulling out stupid takes that my suspension of disbelief was gone and I kept focusing on hyper details.

    I also like that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.

      Mark Hammil does an excellent Harrison Ford impression, so there’s a possibility that the “kid” is part of the impression, rather than a direct quote. Also, I was doing the quote from memory, so it’s also possible that I remembered it wrong.

      But I also like the thought that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.

  Maybe they forced her to get laser hair removal when they were messing with her. Super underrated show! I love Dirk Gently, whatever character has screen time at a given moment is my favorite character.

    Wasn’t this scene pre-messing-with, or had she previously been at the CIA facility before the show started?

  100% guarantee that if she did have armpit hair some other sad bastard would be making a post commenting on it

    I’m not sure that’s a good enough reason to avoid showing women with body hair in media.

  IDK it says BBC America, so I guess the explanation is quite simple.
  It’s because Americans are crazy. An having perfectly natural hair under her armpits would be unacceptably disgusting for an American audience.

    Or this actress didn’t want to grow out pit hair for a comedy show. Not everything is that deep

    source

    • DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨25⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      There’s probably a merkin for pits, or there could be. That would have been funny.

      I just learned there’s a fly, for fly fishing, called the strong arm merkin. Yes, they’re furry:

      Make-up department exist. It being a deliberate choice by production makes much more sense.

      Which goes back to the above: “Americans are crazy. An having perfectly natural hair under her armpits would be unacceptably disgusting”

  Forcing actors to grow body hair in their more intimate areas should not be a virtue. That’s weird and over the line and you should be ashamed.

  It’s a movie. It’s not a realistic story and shown through a camera, not someone’s real eyes. Suspend your disbelief or leave.

    Unless I’m missing a comment from the poster, I don’t think there’s an argument being made to force this actor to grow body hair just for this role.

    Just that it’s odd that they’d go through the effort in makeup to make them appear dirty and unkempt, but don’t bother to include body hair. It’s a common practice in makeup to add beards to men to give them a more unkempt appearance, but not armpit or leg hair on women even though most adult women grow hair in these areas.

  • remon@ani.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Right … no need to grow it. You can just attach some fake hair, they have an entire departments for that.

    source

    • warm@kbin.earth ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Exactly, but even so, it's an actors job, many lose weight, gain muscle, grow hair, lose hair, all the time for the role. Such a strange thing to be angry about, let the actors decide themselves lmao. What's with the new trend of people getting offended on behalf of others?

    This, and I hope that it wasn’t a body hair fetish that triggered this post.

      God forbid women want to be more accurately represented in media. Noooo, it has to be a fetish.

      Reading that far into anything sanitation posts is illadvised at best. They post like its their job.

  I think the joke was more that she doesn’t know what fruit shampoo is. She was excited to shower, she knows that bathing is even if she doesn’t do it often.

  Does that mean she’s removing body hair? No, I get why it seems inconsistent. I do think humans have a very diverse expression of body hair and some people have barely any visible body hair even if they don’t remove it.

  If I want to appear hairless I need to shave daily (or more, dark hair on pale skin RIP) whereas I have friends who appear hairless on their legs and armpits unless you get really close. No, it’s not from waxing or laser, it’s just the texture and colour of their body hair.

  I’m not trying to suggest this is definitely what is going on here and it would be nice to see a wider expression of appearances in media. Maybe then we’d get over the narrow view of “acceptable” body hair.
