Well, when only one particular party members keeps getting caught with child porn.....
I wish society was overall more accepting of piercings and tattoos. Some professional fields are way too conservative.
I honestly hate these "theories" because while it's partially true I'm as left as it gets and I hate septum piercings. I'm not gonna shame anyone for getting one I just personally hate them and hate how prevalent they've become.
I don't mind most piercings and have several tattoos myself but there's like 4 types of piercings and tattoo placements that just put me off. Doesn't mean I'm a fuckin pedophile.
The definition does say they dislike women with septum piercings, not the piercings themselves. So you're good. I don't like piercings in general. I was forced as a child to get my ears pierced three times and I'm still resentful.
But others can stick whatever they like in their bodies.
I'm not gonna shame anyone for getting one
Other than being left, this is the biggest difference between you and the people the theory is referring to. Everyone is allowed their preferences and unless you're commenting on people with septum piercings there's nothing wrong with not liking them.
Also...my thought is that there are many conservatives who hate what they can't have. Perhaps they secretly do like septum piercings on women, but because they can't fuck, they hate.
I think you can rest assured that since you’re not conservative, this theory doesn’t apply to you at all!
I used to dislike them. I think that was just because they were unfamiliar. But, I've seen many people with them now, and I think sometimes they even look nice.
I like piercings better than tattoos. Except for the extreme ones, like gauges through cheeks, etc.

Now I think about it, this applies to many things...
The world's actually never been easier for ladies to just instantly block out a cohort of undesirable men and their undesirable advances.
All those horrible liberal women with piercings and tattoos and hair dyed in unnatural colors… disgusting!
Where do they hang out, so I can avoid them? Does anyone know? Anyone?..
I commonly find them at metal concerts and metal bars.

There's a similar meme that makes it's rounds every so often about dyed hair and repelling predators
a woman with a septum piercing can't be controlled.
surely you meant the opposite? just grab the ring and walk her!

WTF is up with the apparent links in that text? I mean, maybe the author thought readers might need an explanation of "conservative," but... "one" and "Oh" ???

I personally just don't find it beautiful there are other piercings that are nicer. Still is their face they can do whenever with it.
It doesn't seem to be as popular as the other "theories"
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Septum+Ring+Theory
The Septum Ring Theory is the social observation and slang that finds a pattern between women who wear septum piercing and a certain set of personality traits like being chronically online and holding exaggerated leftist views.
It's frequently used as an insult in comments of sexist / misandrist women who try to disguise their hate as "wokeness" or social justice.
There's an alternative definition that was later created by people that felt called out by this slang that claims it's the theory that some men dislike women with septum piercing because you need to be over 18 to legally obtain it.
Yeah I can see why the theory in the OP came about if it was used to attack women in this way before.
