      The girl in the OP post arguably overdid things a little, but it’s her body, her choice

      This right wing one just fell of a cliff straight into the abyss of uncanny valley nightmares. What the fuck is that even, it’s not human

        the appeal she lost was that the tats and piercings make it abundantly clear she’s over 18, and college attendance shows she’s not going to be easy to manipulate and take advantage of. you know. because she’s an educated adult. that’s the big turn off. trust me. that’s ALWAYS the turn off. this guy would say all sorts of nasty stuff about her body if the average 14 year old had tats and piecings.

    I hate this so much. This is objectification dialed up to 11. This young woman has value, but only her appearance and only if she dresses and acts how most conservatives want. 🤮 And they all get a say in how she presents herself!

    She’s gorgeous.

    Is that many tattoos to my taste? Not totally. But its not her job to be to my taste, or his taste, or anyone’s taste. That doesn’t make her not gorgeous.

    I hate conservative men. Like WTF.

          It certainly is when the discussion should be about the fucking pedos leading these shit stains. Context m8.

          They like little innocent malleable girls, so when you see the juxtaposition and decide to offer your dicks 2 cents, yeah it’s a gross red flag that no one needs to hear. Don’t understand why you’d feel the need to mention it in the first place? If you work it out let me know.

        Is it though? It seems to me that at least part of the point is that the conservative appears to take it as read that everyone would find the image on the right less appealing when that’s not at all true. The fact that this is wrong is part of the stupidity on display, and bears pointing out.

          Pointing out to who? For what purpose? Why do they unanimously prefer the picture on the left to begin with? Do you think the person on the right needs to be told they’re sexually desirable? Where do you think this picture came from originally? Can we talk about the larger themes without talking about personal preferences? Because they’re telling on themselves and it’s going over your head.

            *Pointing out to the members of this internet forum.
            *For the purpose of laughing at the conservative and their strange values.
            *They prefer the picture on the left because it’s more traditional, and they are afraid of the one on the right.
            *No, and I’m assuming they are not present in this thread so telling them they’re desirable was obviously never the point.
            *I think the picture came from social media.
            *Yes we can talk about larger themes, but we needn’t limit ourselves to that.
            *No they aren’t, and no it isn’t. It’s you that’s missing the point.

      Mood. My local tattoo shop has $40 days where you can pick a premade tattoo. I have a few in different areas. But I really can’t afford sleeves or a chest tattoo. The only tattoo I paid full price was for $80 and its a Capricorn on my wrist

      I have a change jar that I put my coins in and, unless I decided on something completely stupid that’ll cost me >$1000, it usually has enough for a nice tattoo by the end of the year.

    It’s a very effective strategy, because speaking as a queer woman, I would see the person on the right and think “personal experience tells me this person might belong to the alphabet mafia, so perhaps I could buy her a drink”

    “Loving” as in “if you so much as think about self-determination, you’ll get guilt-tripped, emotionally manipulated and berated for defying God’s plan”? Because those conditions tend to produce the type of person that doesn’t act up as a teen, but once they reach adulthood and taste freedom, they go all out, with mixed results. Tats and piercings certainly aren’t the worst outcome.

    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.

    First girl looks like an obedient, probably rather boring person. Second girl looks like she’s self-confident, likes to party and have fun, is open-minded and great fun to be with.

    Looks can be deceiving, but I would be drawn to the tattooed girl if looks were my only criteria to go by.

      That’s a whole lot of assumptions to make based on a couple of still images with no context, I think. “Obedient” about the first image especially weirded me out, I have to say.

      likes to party and have fun

      I always laugh at ‘likes to have fun’. It’s a completely meaningless phrase, since “fun” is subjectively defined. Boils down to “likes to do stuff they like”.

      self-confident

      But aren’t a large number of tattoos/piercings more correlated with low self-esteem?

        Of course it’s all assumptions, as I explicitly wrote “if looks were my only criteria to go by.”

        Read first, then comment.

        You criticize me for making assumptions, then you come up with an even bigger one…
