The back of his head. Curly and a bit long.
From the side it looks a bit weird:
Many pictures here:

Ooh that is clever! I like that a lot! The back of his head. Curly and a bit long. I love you guys! The fact that there's like 3 pages discussing his haircut just made my morning!

x.com/smilingbenedict/status/1734479136729825632?s=46&t=gSRcNGdLlwYs2rW8xfap5AOh my! Have you read this? I don‘t know how he copes with being that famous and popular all the time, everywhere he appears! Let alone real sexual harassment like it seems to be the case here. Being a celebrated celebrity has a lot of advantages, but for me the downsides are far bigger. By the way, if I were in the position to pose for a photo with him, I wouldn‘t even dare to put my arm around his waist. That‘s just treating him with respect for me. He‘s a stranger (physically) after all, even if it feels like you have known him, emotionally, for decades.

There is a section of every fandom that feels entitled to the celeb in a way that crosses all normal boundaries. I really hate the over-sexualization of celebs (and have ranted about it repeatedly). It dehumanizes them. If only those fans would consider how violated they would feel if another person zoomed in on their crotch in photos or described in explicit details what they wanted to do to their bodies (both things I have seen happen in various celeb threads). It gives me such an ick. I hate for anyone, including all celebs, to experience this kind of violation. I remember reading about Rob Lowe saying he felt like a piece of meat and totally degraded when fans would try to rip off a piece of his clothing as a souvenir at events. Isn't that horrible? The only thing I wonder is how credible this post about Ben's fan is? I think there's a lot of security at these cons so I can't imagine someone taking liberties without being escorted out. If it were any other situation, I wouldn't doubt it, but cons are huge with a ton of security mixed in, so it's a real problem if a fan was able to break the rules and nobody stepped in.

Apparently, the so called fan made a video moaning about BC and a few other Japanese fans kinda “corroborated” the incident with some circunstancial anecdotes (they heard something happened, saw some argumentation, saw how the organizers become more strict, etc).
Smiling Benedict also claimed to be threatened and harassed on Twitter by the mentioned fan. That’s why she said she better deleted the video. I personally didn't see any video nor the harassment but I didn’t tried to search for it. I just believed there are crazy people out there and that maybe the security failed. (BC also used to have his bodyguard with him during these kind of events. I wonder if he was there)
By the way, there was a similar creepy incident in an Australian Con some years ago but the crazy person was stopped before reaching BC. If I remember well, she made a delusional video before going to the Con so organizers had her identified.

There was a similar situation, I think it was at a London Con, where a fan touch/grab his butt. And she posted about it. And the organizers had to announce that it was forbidden to touch him.
In the TCC if I understood correctly, she tried to touch or rub her body against his crotch. The organizers also announced that it was forbidden to touch him. The problem was that some fans didn't understand the meaning of "touch" here. Because most of the people are normal and don't think in doing such a thing.

That's horrible! I cannot believe the level of entitlement! How can anyone think that's okay? Thank goodness most fans are normal. wallaby is right. The cost of fame is often much higher than we may imagine. Things like this or the chef who tried to attack him in his house...it's all so intense. Edit: because I double-posted by mistake and am combining posts to make it simpler.
, she tried to touch or rub her body against his crotch. btw, this specific mention on the post was the reason I was wondering if it happened, because it seems so outrageous, so beyond the pale, that it felt like fanfiction. The idea that anyone could sexually harass him and then get angry that she was stopped is WILD. So disrespectful and gross on so many levels!
