I'm not really sure who likes them other than the people who get them and other people who like those specific piercings for whatever reasons.
It's wild how insanely defensive people get about their piercings and body modifications though, just read through this post or any post like it on reddit.
Like, chill out you freaks. If someone doesn't like your fashion choice, unhinged rants and attacks aren't going to make someone magically start loving metal accessories stuck in your soft parts.
....What?
I mean it's a niche thing, people who are really into piercings really like them, and those who aren't into them tend to really really not like them, whereas some other fashion accessories are generally more universally acceptable even if not necessarily loved.
The parent wasn't looking for an explanation.
They were commenting on how hard your wetware bricked.
What convinced you of this?
Saying you're disappointed with what girls do to their bodies is mad weird, though
I do not give a single fuck about what you choose to do to your body.
But I'm also allowed personal opinions about it.
My personal opinion is that I find them extremely off-putting to a frustrating degree. Also those frustrations are not aimed at the girls getting these piercings but more towards 1) Why do they bother me so much? And 2) Why are they so popular?
Y'all can judge me all you want though it's a little ironic when I already said I have no hate to people who get piercings. Fuck I've got tattoos all over. Piercings just aren't my thing. Some I can ignore and others I can't.
The comments are pretty much all with you save one person. If I were you, I'd calmly walk away with that satisfaction before you get baited into a comment that "proves" you are what has been said of you.
(Note that "proves" is in quotation marks there.)
Like you I don't give any fucks about what people choose to to with their bodies.
I don't like it either that people's choices are the subject of so much enragement. I really don't have to understand why cars need loud exhausts, too. Those do annoy me.
I feel like a healthy perspective is whenever someone gets on your 'why the fuck would you do that?' detector is to ask those people why they do it, and not assume the reason and remain being annoyed.
This isn't an argument about abortion or gender affirming care you nut, this is about fashion. It's not about "women's bodies."
Plenty of women express "disappointment" with the fashion choices men make and it's fine. What's the difference?
edit: my biggest disappointment here is people who can't separate themselves from a stranger's opinion and have to fight about someone's preference whom they will never see, meet or talk to. Like, it just sparks this massive insecurity in people because it reminds people that someone might reject them for their choices so the response tends to be lashing out and being unhinged. And you see this on every end of every ideological spectrum, it's a very human thing that we need to get better about. You all need to learn to SIT with the fact that not everyone will like you, your fashion, your taste, etc. Social media and discord has made you all get way too adapted to a world where you can choose to surround yourselves with only people who accept you blindly, so that you're losing touch with how to feel about and cope with those who don't immediately validate everything about you.
It is about women's bodies though, a piercing is a form of body modification.
And yeah, in a world where women's bodies and attire weren't policed to an extreme degree it might be the same. But it isn't. It's not that there's some linguistic difference but rather that policing women's bodies happens in millions of unique ways every day. It does happen in some ways to men too, body weight, height, body fat and hygiene those kinda things. Women are policed for those things too, in addition to a million other factors. And we suffer social consequences for those things in ways men do not. We suffer even if we do meet those expectations, because ownership over our bodies is still being taken.
It would still illicit a similar response of confusion from me if someone said they were "dissappointed so many men were getting nipple piercings". What is the causal relationship between the speaker and the men in question? Why does the speaker feel entitled to those men's bodies? It would still be weird and wrong to say that. I hear people making claims about women's bodies literally every day though, and pretty uncommonly about men's in the same way.
