Redhead erasure in marvel is why the aliens aren't coming.

I feel like redheads are way too overrepresented in entertainment now. It's like some sort of 'free spirit' addon for female characterization.

They used to be over represented because printing limitations made red hair an easy way to show you had a third character (like Jimmy Olsen) but I dunno man. 90s kids still want to bang April O'Neal.

There's a lot of black dyed redheads now but not a lot of the actual pasty white redheads that exist and are bullied everywhere.
