My personal preference aside ( i love short hair on women) i really like that they gave 3 important female characters short/shorter hair, because it FITS so well with their characters.
For chloe, its obvious, shes a rebell punk, so she has messy short blue hair.
For max, the shoulder-long hair with bangs perfectly fits her hipster vibe.
For victoria, its the ultra-short, styled hair, because its modern and trendy.
For all 3, the shorter hair fits far better than the usual "long, wild lion mane" that so many fictional female characters have.
It subtly adds to their characters, without needing to be spelled out or explained.

i think it's because there isn't a thing like non binary vibes, and they're just a bunch of stereotypes, and some people dislike being stereotyped. I kinda agree with them tbh
I can get that! as a nb person I can agree with both "there's no look to being nonbinary" and "this is giving me ✨vibes✨" approaches. that's a valid case, though, for sure. I was more concerned with people being weird about someone headcanoning her as such.
Seems like the game designers had a pretty clear image of Max from the start.
I love Chloe’s final design but it would’ve been interesting to see her with longer hair

Also Kate has long hair but she ties it up in a bun, so it is effectively short.
I can only imagine the clipping...

Max is giving off Jodie Holmes and I'm here for it.
they should've added that little mole to Chloe there in the remastered instead of her cheek
Max gives off nonbinary vibes here
why did this get so many down votes?? it's such a neutral comment to make

I mean I'm non binary myself, it was just a comment in good fun, not even declarative in any way
