Why is septum piercing so hated???? |

I think the post originally said something like they wanted the real reason not 'septum theory', and proving that septum theory has predictive power you can see a lot of "FASCISM!", "MISOGYNY!", "CONSERVATISM!", and "THEY HATE BODILY AUTONOMY!" comments. A few people hit it closer to the truth: septum piercings are strongly reminiscent of piercings used to help control certain animals like cattle, buffalo and pigs.
Fewer understand it as being a facial piercing, and facial piercings in general are widely disliked outside of certain niche circles. Very few people look good with it, and most of the people who don't and aren't wearing jewelry they can flip out of sight have it as a kind of symbol of rebellion against social norms. It being associated with young, obnoxious people who have luxury degrees and make every workplace miserable is just kind of extra on top of everything else.
It's a very hard piercing to pull off in a way that compliments your features and style. Almost everyone has the anatomy to get it, but it looks bad 99% of the time.
