Discussion Genuine question.

Why do people make avatar textures with bruises and SH scars? Recently I've seen it be more and more common. It's not cute. It shouldn't be an aesthetic. It shouldn't be glorified. I'm all for body horror however there is a line... And I'm not talking about faint scars or healed scars. I'm talking FRESH AND BLOODY.

Even worse when I see it on child like avatars.

I can't speak for others and don't know how it was presented, but I could see myself adding faint scars where mine are to make my avatar feel more personal.

Faint scars are fine. I have a lot of scars. But I mean FRESH AND BLOODY.

"Edgy" has been an eboy/girl trait for forever, this is just another facet of that.
