Re: Body Mod/Non-Fandom secret from yesterday

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.
