Just why?
She was so pretty

And yet here we both are, irritated by each other's views, so, right back at ya, hun.

I'm not irritated by your views HUN, I just think they're ridiculous and laughable.

Superhansrantowindsor · 25/02/2025 21:49

I feel sorry for her parents. If my dd did this I’d be devastated.

Likewise. But actually yours are more dangerous as you seem happy to curtail people's - or is it just women's - rights to bodily autonomy.

It's akin to any other vulnerable girl or woman being drawn in to any other forms of self abuse being told she did it of her own free will.

tinyme77 · 25/02/2025 21:55

What does she do for a living?

Woah. This woman has had her intelligence insulted, been accused of being mentally ill, had the word extremist used in reference to her, and now it's being suggested she's being taken advantage of. I'm surprised that people commenting here think women should be allowed to make any autonomous decisions at all.

She's not campaigning for everyone to follow suit, she's done something for herself and it's her choice.

Not much sisterhood here in those sorts of comments, but plenty of Mother Superiors it seems.

Do you not think that Toxii expects - indeed is happy - to have people discussing her appearance though?

As I said earlier, anyone who is a shrinking violet certainly wouldn't do this to themselves. She is on SM and has appeared in countless news articles. I'm pretty sure she'd be enjoying this thread if she was on here.

For all your "I'm a dark, demonic, tattooed underground type of person" persona you are giving off on here you seem a little sensitive to the criticism/comments that this person - whom you do not know from Adam - is getting on an anonymous forum? I'd say if you go through life looking like this you are inviting attention, and a lot of that is going to be negative what with the nose having been chopped off and suchlike. Call me crazy!

I suggest you watch interviews with the actual people who have this done to themselves. It is their choice, and you are infantilising them by saying it is not.
There is a body modification scene, and this lady is part of it. Who are you to say she is being abused? Can a grown woman not make choices for herself, even ones you don't agree with?

Life is is much more than marriage with 2 kids, a dog, and a house with a picket fence. It is so much more nuanced that that. People are scared and reject what they see is different to the norm. And that is plain to see on this thread.

If she was WFH and answering your calls about car insurance, would you care what she looks like?

Fights He-man in the hope to conquer castle Greyskull?

I'm sensitive to the way people decide to "go after" people for their apparently harmless lifestyle choices, yes. Because it gets out of hand.

Same.. and the comments about how she is in the wrong because she will "scare children". SMH.

No one is "going after" her though. It's a discussion on an anonymous forum about what is a pretty shocking act of self mutilation/body modification (whichever way you look at it).

If I saw Toxii in the street I wouldn't run away screaming, I doubt anyone on this thread would. But we'd probably be a bit 😱 inside.

nahthatsnotforme · 25/02/2025 22:07

If I saw her on the street I would be horrified that she felt the need to do that to herself, and (as a retired health professional) horrified someone did it to her.

She hasn't done this to herself so nobody notices her. It's attention seeking, we're giving her the attention she has sought.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 25/02/2025 22:09

If you really can't see the problem with projecting a whole bunch of assumptions onto a person based solely on their appearance then we're regressing as a species at an alarming rate.

You could say the same about anything that anyone has done to themselves.

Sorry but I’m definitely assuming she’s mentally unwell, she keeps her nose in a fucking jar fgs.

WhatterySquash · 25/02/2025 22:15

Life is is much more than marriage with 2 kids, a dog, and a house with a picket fence.

Of course it is. there are millions of ways to live a life different from this and loads of people do - creative, unconventional, on the road or otherwise “different” lives. In fact probably 99% of people don’t have exactly that “picket fence” life because actually everyone is different and most people are pretty accepting of that (something that self-appointed “ooh I’m so different/countercultural and special me” types often fail to notice).

Cutting off your nose however is worrying to most people. Because it’s irreversible, fairly serious damage, and our instinctive reaction to it is alarm and anxiety because we associate it with injury - and as self-harm like that often is linked to possible MH issues, we worry that she might regret it and it’s irresponsible for anyone to do it for her.

Of course people make choices to do this stuff in order to shock and upset what they see as boring old picket fence types. The more they can upset and alarm people, the more they can tell themselves that others aren’t “accepting of difference”.

BobbyBiscuits · 25/02/2025 22:16

Plenty of people do body modification. That in itself isn't shocking. It's a matter of taste. Same as boob jobs, pumped lips and arses etc.
Some just don't feel that a stereotype of beauty fits their aesthetic. Before she had bleached hair and was wearing makeup. Clearly she wanted a very different look. And went all in pretty swiftly!

I'd be concerned about the long term health issues with not really having a nose, but I'd imagine she's rationally thought that through. Not. The rest fair enough but the surgeon or whoever that did the nose must be a bit sick in the head.

mintjim · 25/02/2025 22:17

@XenoBitch The human brain won't notice someone's highlights or lip filler like it'll notice someone with an amputated nose. That she keeps in a jar.

She'll miss that nose when she's 50.

Self harm.

Probably from trauma.

Maybe not putting it out there for judgement would be nice.

Totally agree with everything you said here.

katepilar · 25/02/2025 22:18

I dont think you should have put those pictures in the OP. And there should be a trigger warning. I really didnt want to see anything scary like that.
