The permanent part is what drives me nuts. I can’t settle on a color for any of my stuff day-to-day. I would love to have walls, appliances, clothes, etc. all be able to change color at a whim. I would be horrified by any tattoo I had 25% of the time I had it, I guarantee.
Secondly: I will go so far as to say absolutely tooooons of people wear earrings that I personally find extremely silly, unfashionable, or outright gross.
Sorry ear plug people. They look goofy when theyre in and they look horrifying when theyre out.
Probably this opinion of mine comes from knowing a person who managed to get their … ear loop? caught on something and tear apart.
Also: I think its child abuse to force a 3 to 9 year old to get their ears pierced.
I used to date a person who worked at a Claire’s… and they would tell me that they would often, as in multiple times a week, have a family of recent immigrants from… India? Bangladesh? … come into the store, and they would have to physically restrain a screaming obviously unwilling child to get their ears pierced.
Anyway: I think it is too far to agree that earrings in general are just bad all the time, but there are lots of cases where theyre done poorly.
The fools, they should have told that child from the day they were born that they couldn’t have pierced ears until they were at least 12. The kid would start wheedling for it at 6 and they could “give in” at 8. The child would still cry after the first ear, but would sit still and say thank you afterwards.
I mean, I’m tattooed and pierced, and I still don’t personally agree with piercing children’s ears either. IMHO that’s a rather personal choice and should be made by the person itself, not parents. But IMHO, objectively speaking, it makes no sense to put both on the same level.
A tiny earring like kids get is about 20-18g - in the sub-millimetre range. Unless you go at a shitty venue with terrible hygienic practices, these things stop hurting in minutes, stop being sore after mere hours, a day or two tops, and are pretty much as reversible as can be. There’s very little “bad” about it except a child crying for a minute or two - and that already happens hundreds of times a day, when they get vaccines, when they wait a minute while you prepare their bottle, when they’re tired, or honestly, just cause they feel like shit and can’t tell you cause they don’t speak yet.
Chopping off foreskins has zero use outside religious belief or medically motivated surgeries, and has long-term, irreversible medical implications.
I still don’t agree with the act, but not all evil is created equal…
How oddly worded… I understand that this is “unpopularopinion”, but you say “despite them often being unattractive” as if it’s a fact they’re unattractive
Contextually this is a … board? Sublemmy?.. whatever, the context is obviously opinions, it completely makes sense that in an opinion … zone… someone would state their opinion frankly or cavalierly.
“Community” is the accepted term… that’s why the link to them is labeled ‘Communities’ and why it’s /c/. (On kbin, they’re Magazines, but kbin is the black sheep.)
It’s those nose rings that go through that middle part between the nostrils like a cartoon bull that I don’t like. I just imagine them being caked with snot all the time.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you find ugly, others find attractive. it also changes over time. You hate earrings now, you might like them 10 years from now
I did not get it for looks. I wanted a piece of jewelry that was not constrictive. I don't like rings or chains or bracelets. Its more of a personal object I keep on me. That being said I don't really use it anymore as I don't feel like having one anymore so I don't bother wearing any. One thing is I never bought a nice one so by and large I just wore garbage. Let me put it this way. A tshirt with some logo on it does not look better than a really nice plain one color tshirt. Sorta looks worse. But maybe I like that band or comic book or whatnot (or maybe I just got it free and it will let me enter a store). EDITED - going further. I have long hair. Many might say that is unattractive but others would not. I like my hair long though so it just becomes a thing that I have relationships with women that find long hair on dudes attractive or at the very least are neutral about it.
