CoiffeurWhere before she was often congratulated on the luxuriant thickness of her hair, in the past nobody ever said it was a particularly nice colour. Not within my hearing, anyway. Now people constantly compliment her on it — and not only friends, but strangers in the shops, who occasionally stop her to ask if it's natural or, if not, which brand of dye she uses, so that they can buy it too.
‘Game of Thrones’ Fans Boycott George R.R. Martin’s Next Book, Accusing Coauthors of Racism

In one post from March 2012, for example, Antonsson complained
