The Septum Ring Theory is the social observation and slang that finds a pattern between women who wear septum piercing and a certain set of personality traits like being chronically online and holding exaggerated leftist views.

It's frequently used as an insult in comments of sexist / misandrist women who try to disguise their hate as "wokeness" or social justice.

There's an alternative definition that was later created by people that felt called out by this slang that claims it's the theory that some men dislike women with septum piercing because you need to be over 18 to legally obtain it.

Yeah I can see why the theory in the OP came about if it was used to attack women in this way before.

I'm not gonna shame anyone for getting one

Other than being left, this is the biggest difference between you and the people the theory is referring to. Everyone is allowed their preferences and unless you're commenting on people with septum piercings there's nothing wrong with not liking them.

I think you can rest assured that since you’re not conservative, this theory doesn’t apply to you at all!

I used to dislike them. I think that was just because they were unfamiliar. But, I've seen many people with them now, and I think sometimes they even look nice.

I like piercings better than tattoos. Except for the extreme ones, like gauges through cheeks, etc.

So… what are the other three?

I have no meaningful opinion on them. However, now that I think about it the people I know who do have them tend to be attractive to me. That said, I don't think it's at all contingent upon the septum ring itself.

The definition does say they dislike women with septum piercings, not the piercings themselves. So you're good. I don't like piercings in general. I was forced as a child to get my ears pierced three times and I'm still resentful.

But others can stick whatever they like in their bodies.

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm not out here trying to yuck anyone's yum, but if a girl has a cow hoop in her nose it's an immediate turn off.

Yeah I'm not conservative but I don't like such piercings either. They're very distracting on top of it.

Doesn't mean I'm a fuckin pedophile

Sounds like something a pedo would say

Also...my thought is that there are many conservatives who hate what they can't have. Perhaps they secretly do like septum piercings on women, but because they can't fuck, they hate.

Everyone does but not everyone feels compelled to say anything.

Afaik, unlike collage degrees, tattoos in many countries can be given to minors if there is clear parental consent.

That's urban dictionary trying to get people to stay on the site

At this point only old people and weirdos aren't

They’re the most fun if you can take it.

(That only means pegging in rare cases, internet)

surely you meant the opposite? just grab the ring and walk her!

She could be, like a buffalo

y'all ain't been around cattle. you put one of those rings in the bull's nose. then you add links to the chain depending on how nice it is. if it's real nice, it doesn't need extra rings. if it's a mean old bull what'll charge you as soon as it sees you, that 30 foot chain'll slow it down a titch, and maybe if'n you're lucky you can sneak up and hook it to a post so it can't get you.

a woman with a septum piercing is kind. les'n she got herself a 30 foot chain attached to it

I’m always injuring myself in some way or another. Piercing is pain that I choose. I like the aesthetic as well. The rush one gets after the needle goes through is quite something.

Piercings are only painful for a temporary time. People don’t get them for the pain, they get them for how they look.

Because I like how mine look. Also there definitely is a body mod masochism, thanks to the endorphin rush associated

Well, when only one particular party members keeps getting caught with child porn.....

If a septum piercing is done correctly (and you have average anatomy), it shouldn't be very painful and doesn't touch any bone/hard cartilage because there's what's called a "sweet spot" inside your nose underneath the hard cartilage that's thin and soft that the piercing should go through.

Rubbing on what bone? The nose is basically only cartilage

This is like Dr Zoidberg levels of understanding of human anatomy
