I, personally, have never found facial tattoos and piercings to be attractive. Especially lip and tongue piercings, all I can think about is them hitting my teeth. Also idgaf what anyone says, tongue piercings do not help with pleasure unless you were maimed as a child.
That being said I also don't believe it makes sense to tell others what they can and can't do with their body. I also don't assume that anyone customizes themselves for my benefit. So I guess my biggest question is, do people really give that much of a fuck about tattoos and piercings beyond personal preference?
To be fair, the OP is not actually doing that, "should we ban it" is obviously a joke. He's just saying it's unattractive. Similar comments have been made about all kinds of people/aesthetics with far more vitriol than the OP (a random example I witnessed personally some years back was someone saying men under 6' tall should kill themselves, and getting plenty of agreement within their own bubble (was on Tumblr, iirc)).
The OP is honestly a 'whatever' post to me, doesn't move the needle at all, and honestly doesn't deserve to be engaged with at all. And the response is just an extremely basic 'they don't like you either' that's just as cringy as the OP imo, if you're looking at both of them without bias toward either point of view.
Ok without extra context I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that being a joke, but my question stands.
