Re: Body Mod/Non-Fandom secret from yesterday

I think the point is that extreme piercing, gouging, tattooing, etc. are obvious modications by choice and are can not be natural disfigurement via body trauma or congential defeat. To purposely break one's nose, for example, as form of body modification seems repellant to many because it is common body trauma by accident or force, not choice.

Seems that a thing that can happen 'naturally', so to speak, would be less repellant than choosing to chop off or slice up a body part.

I realize to each their own, but i really don't get how a broken nose can be viewed as *worse* than a split tongue or 'shaped' ears. I would think that choosing to do something that *can't possibly* be passed off as 'natural' would make more people recoil than not.

Because one is exotic. A nose piercing is something different.

Scars from a fight are the sort of thing many of us are wired to fined unaesthetic. And to find those that would voluntarily desire them unappealing.

There's also the parallels with self-injury. Cutting because your depressed and scaring your arm for your art might be very different, but to some, it's the exact same thing manifested with a different explanation.

Typical and extreme body mods CAN'T be passed off as natural, an accident or some kind of trauma. They are obviously a choice. That's the point. Random scarring and broken bones are evidence of trauma and injury not of one's choosing. Indications of pain and violence on someone's body is not normally appealing.
