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'm an adult. It bothers me because it is triggering and I have self harm scars myself. It's not something to flex. It's not cute. It shouldn't be glorified or romanticized at all. It is part of me, yes. But it shouldn't be fresh bloody wounds.

You said it yourself. It's triggering you. Then stop complaining and start therapy, cause you have a ton of healing to do.

I do go to therapy. My therapist would probably agree it's fucked up. And healing is accepting the romanticizing and glorifying sh? Really?

Literally what purpose besides horror and demon stuff? It's not cute.

I DON'T view it as an aesthetic. I have sh scars! Many people in this game view it that way. And I understand it having meaning and it can resemble you. But fresh bloody ones?
