The actual origin of the Septum Ring Theory stems from the belief that when someone experiences trauma — especially something that made them feel powerless, violated, or unseen — they often search for ways to reclaim agency over their body or narrative.
The septum piercing is particularly striking because:
• It’s central on the face — hard to miss.
• It’s reversible (can be hidden or removed), offering flexibility.
• It has cultural associations with rebellion, nonconformity, and strength.
So, wearing one can become a kind of armor or badge — a visible reminder: “I’ve survived something, and I’m not the same.” It turns internal pain into an external identity marker that others can see, but only the wearer truly understands the meaning behind.
In current use, The Septum Piercing Theory denotes unnecessary aggression on social media stemming from someone who has made their trauma a part of their identity.

The Septum Ring Theory never fails. Look at this unhinged cow rant about the way her ex left her. I can see why now.

A heterosexual orgie. At least 5 guys stand in a circle and fuck eachother in the ass. To not make it gay they have to wear socks. A woman with a strap-on can be added as "hinge". Another woman can be in the middle of the circle with a drum and she sets the pace in which the guys pound.
