Heres the problem. For the majority of my day there are people in my field of view and its hard to block out people from your field of view especially if they are in or near the center. Now a person can't see their own face (unless they look in a mirror which is like a total of 1 minute everyday) and can pretty much only see their arms (and maybe girls can see their own boobs idk).

So since I am the one who is seeing other people and they aren't seeing themselves, yes they should dress to my standards and I should dress to their standards. Since people have different standards, to please the most people, you must go with what most people would like, which in this case is no nose piercings.

Let's do a wild hypothetical scenario (I know hypothetical, but bare with me) and say I don't actually give a shit about what you look like or how you dress. So now because I don't have standards of how people should look I am subject to change to yours even though I couldn't care less about how people dress? This reasoning sounds like more commie bullshit than what I previously posted.

Also: (newer but great)

In short, yes, because its visually discomforting for us to see people with nose piercings. And since they can't see themselves (but their forearms/hands) why put everyone in discomfort like that when they reap no benefit themselves. It would make sense if people saw themselves in third person view, but we don't, and as a result everyone else is made to suffer.

Its sort of like if someone was vomiting in public. Usually they would try to make it to a bathroom or somewhere private as to not disturb other people. Not so much as to benefit themselves. So in a similar sense its sort of like society is asking nose piercers to do us a solid and saying "hey we like ya and all and we think its nice you are expressing yourself but its just disturbing us a little so when in public could you please not do it."
