Why are earrings socially accepted but nose rings frowned upon?

That's a good question, I've always found the prejudice against piercings strange.

Yes, I find nose rings to be ugly and earrings not to be. A quick reason to be personally not receptive to nose rings. Don't nose rings tend to be very noticeable?

Both earrings and nose rings are ugly and bad.

I wouldn't get a septum (nose ring) for myself, but I don't mind it on other people (especially because my partner has one, it would be strange for me to hate that haha)


Honestly I don't look down on any kind of piercing (unless maybe Prince Alberts and stuff like that, yeouch)

@Absurdo_N Sadly I wouldn't say it's strange, prejudice always happens with anything that is even slightly out of the norm. It's still quite easy to even find people who are prejudiced against tattoos.

@fleurbleue

There are still older people who are prejudiced against ambidextrous and left-handed people in my country;_; maybe in the rest of the world there are people like that too.

Prejudices are so silly;_;

@fleurbleue yeah, it's about cows, and not the aesthetics of it! Great question! No men care about aesthetics! NOT AT ALL. They care more about what they'd say if they... lived on a farm. That's the first thing I think of when deciding if someone is attractive or not, Farmer Joe, is she hot or does she remind you of any farm animals??

"Well boy... now let me tell you something..."

Earrings are classy traditional jewelry worn by elegant upper class women.
Nose rings are a sign that your entirely personality is about your trauma.

People who have piercings are trashy.

@JaniSIr You know, nose rings do happen to be traditional jewelry in some parts of the world! Are the poor Nepalese full of trauma too?

@fleurbleue Maybe, but I don't know anyone from Nepal.
Also did you have to Google that, or you just happen to be an expert in Nepalese jewellery?

@JaniSIr I don't think anyone needs to be an expert to know such a thing. Am I also a tattoo expert if I know about the Maori traditional tattoos?

Anyway, since you said you don't know anyone from Nepal, I take it your actual opinions on nose rings are based on people you actually know?

@fleurbleue I would say yes for I didn't even know they had tattoos.

The nose ring theory has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt in the West, all that's remaining is investigating if it holds in Nepal too.

That's pretty much a thing for a lot Polynesian tribes, though. Are all the kids who watched Moana tattoo experts?

Do you have an opinion like that on all things related to alternative subcultures?

Pretty sure JanSIr is an it bro who lowkey hates women with blue hair. I certainly don’t agree with the aesthetic, but I am not going to make stereotyped assumptions of people over it. Stop trying to blame unseen trauma when women dye their hair black or do not shave their armpits. You are acting like an incel.

Just let people have bad taste.
