Proposed fashion propaganda for rebellion minded folk to feel empowered about self mutilation.
In truth this ring origin comes from cattle as a means of controlling them. Taking on this piercing states that you self proclaim yourself as cattle, sheep, or are a waste of flesh for breeding.

I could tug on that cattle (septum piercing) ring and lead her anyway I want. Just like the government guides sheep.

Ugly piece of metal they put in your nose when you first get your septum pierced. Usually looks like an unbent staple hanging from your nostril. Easy to flip up and down and most comfortable during healing period post piercing.

Molly: Dude, my mom would kill me. Although, I could get a faux septum ring!

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 🤭)
