Movies, Meng'er Zhang, Shang-Chi, Xialing By Brittany Knupper on Sat,2:45 She has the ultimate science-fiction bob. The bad bitch bob. The blunt bangs and sharp A-line edges that tell you she is going to kick your ass, take your empire for herself, and she won’t even smudge her lipstick. The smooth order of the bob belies her true chaotic neutral alignment. Sometimes she fights for the good guys, and sometimes the bad, her only allegiance is to herself. She is the femme fatale of the sci-fi realm. The post Meng’er Zhang and the History of the Bad Bitch Bob first appeared on The Mary Sue.

And because New York Magazine (much like Marie Kondo) loves mess, they decided to stir the pot and re-share the article. The results were… not surprising.
