I find them aesthetically off-putting, but I don't assign any "value" (positive or negative) to it. I view it as a fashion choice. I'm sure that my own choice of style is not to some people's liking either.
I'm not the target audience for it anyhow, so whatever.
I mean, I’m an anarchist and I don’t find women with septum piercings sexually appealing.
Then again, I am a gay man.

Small detail.
Barely worth mentioning.
Negligible
How about men with septum piercings?
Pretty hot, ngl. 🤷♂️
Septum rings were originally used to control livestock.
Real ones love people with septum rings because they're submissive and breedable.

I just find them unnattractive; generally not into piercings or tattoos. To each their own...
Same, and it's not something I really care to shout from the roof because why does my opinion matter and I don't want to tell people what to do in the first place, but it's also something I can never say even in passing because of what group of people it puts me in
Same.
Although maybe "unnattractive" isn't a good fit because I do understand that it's not a woman's default objective to "be attractive" to me. It's more just that maybe I'm a bit weird about ears and noses. If you have something hanging out of your nose my lizard brain alerts me that it's probably a booger. My more sophisticated hominid brain is aware that it's not, but this creates a kind of unsolvable feedback loop that's unsolvable.
Yesterday I was interviewing a candidate for a job. I'm genuinely trying to listen and engage with this cacophony of booger not-booger booger not-booger going on.
I didn't say it was anyone's objective to be attractive to me. And it isn't. I just have (as does everyone else) the agency to decide for myself what I find attractive or not.
Thank you for pointing out the possibly ambiguity of my response though, so I could clarify.

Am I the only one low-key annoyed that the photo does not show a septum piercing (I understand it's called a "smiley" piercing--done on the frenulum of the upper lip)? It's Alysa Liu's signature look.
Nah I was squinting at the picture trying to find it.

"...I don't even wanna know"
Ha! I thought the punchline would be something like "they're an effective deterrent."
Reminds me of this gem:
That rainbow hair looks cool af
Unfortunately, not for very long
That's pure gold!
Oh damn! That response is fucking brutal.

I don’t necessarily find them unattractive but I find that I don’t have confidence to approach women with them.
Where I live I think you can get these kinds of piercings at 16. And I've never met anyone that still have these that over age 25.
When I see these I automatically think the person is a teenager.
I know plenty of bisexuals in their 30s with one
I have one I'm 39. But I don't wear a ring in it. Just a tunnel so I can stick stuff through my nose and freak people out

I don't know what's wrong with me but septum piercings on women are the sexiest thing ever, for some reason I don't feel the same way about them on men.

I love septum piercings, and piercings in general. And tattoos. And weird hair.
I'm sorry what? You gotta be over 18 to get a septum piercing in USA? Why???
Infection liability, gotta be old enough to sign that you won't sue for infection or disfigurement.

Aww why nitpick? She's gorgeous, young, talented. At least for now. I can't figure out why she hasn't become America's (always temporary, revolving crown..) sweetheart in a bigger way than she has. America has gone all goo-goo eyed for far less talents and looks than she's got going on right now.
