Septum Ring Theory is a vague insult typically used against people with septum rings on social media platforms like TikTok. There's no concrete definition, but you know it when you see it. Septum Ring Theory is characterized by the following qualities.
• Septum Piercing (Obviously, and other present piercings in a given example strengthens the theory & insult's effect)
• Dyed Hair (Typically bright, attention hungry colors)
• Heavily left-leaning/liberal ideology
• Misandry
• Inflated sense of self importance/ego
• Inability to take accountability
• Tattoos (Not a requirement, but often found alongside the other indicators)
The purpose of the insult is to make the target angry. Responses to being told they fit the definition of septum piercing theory typically revolve around virginity or baselessly insinuating that the person receiving the insult is attractive to the person delivering it (this is the aforementioned inflated sense of self importance/ego showing itself in full.) These people will also lump you into a nebulous group of conservative boogeymen, which is where the political angle comes in despite the comment itself having nothing to do with politics. These replies are exactly what is expected though, and only help to further prove the Septum Ring Theory.
In short, Septum Piercing Theory is a comment that's designed to knock a very specific set of chronically online losers down a peg, and it usually works to great effect, almost like a cheat code.

Person A (with septum piercing): Men don't deserve rights/are trash/should be killed, etc, etc.
Person B (Usually a faceless account in Person A's comment section): Septum Ring Theory still undefeated.
Person A (in a video response to the comment): Spoken from a man who's never had his face in between a woman's legs. (They think they ate with this 🤭)

Get the Septum Ring Theorymug. ... posits that many of the putative unchangeable characteristics, such as race or gender,will become irrefutably protean in the future given we reach the point where it's technologically possible to do things like switch genders or race more easily & or in a (more) irrefutable manner. Supposed unchangeable characteristics would become patently changeable & analogous to the clothes one chooses to wear or the colour of hair one chooses to have.
Jolyne: Methinks Radical Fluid Identity Theory is a good idea. It'll prolly get people in the mindset of wanting to try all the stuffs. All the genders, all the races, all the characteristics, all the life, do everything, shag everything, everybody love everybody bruh.
June: Yo dude it gets me hype. I cannot wait for the future.
Reaves: Yo I remember the future
Celyne: NEKTAR NOW!

Get the Radical Fluid Identity Theorymug. The theory that states that any subjective assignment (such as a book review) can be done without knowing what you are talking about (like writing a book review without reading the book).
Person 1: "Did you read the book and write the review?"
Person 2: "Nah. I'm not going to read the book; I'm just going to use Subjective Assignment Theory."
Person 2: "Nah. I'm not going to read the book; I'm just going to use Subjective Assignment Theory."

Get the Chaos Theorymug. Gateway Conspiracy Theory.
Typically a conspiracy that does less harm than the other theories.
It often leads to more dangerous conspiracy theories.
Hence the term " gateway"
E.G: flerfers or flat-earthers theory could be less dangerous than say, a theory that the the elites are out to destroy us all, as it USUALLY has no real-life consequence.
Whereas a conspiracy theory that states the elites are out to destroy us all can lead upto and include death by suicide, paranoia, etc.
