I don't get the joke. Does he deserve punishment because he has a piercing?
Did you think that was a joke? We're allowed to be annoyed by things other people do.
I understand that we don't have to like the piercing he chose to get. But he didn't have to get a piercing on his fucking face and then post social media content cropping basically everything else out...
Is it hurting anyone? Why are you so annoyed by somebody else's piercing that you want to, as you claim, actually rip it out of his face? And then to actually say (or in your case, agree with) something like that on the internet for all to see... that's incredibly intolerant.
Woah, woah woah. Slow down there, Captain Strawman. I never said I wanted to rip it out of their face, nor did agree with the other comment! In case it was too long for you to read or comprehend, let me rewrite it: "they are allowed to have facial piercings, I'm allowed to be annoyed by them."
I'm also annoyed by the sun, and car alarms, and people who mispronounce words; I'm not advocating violence against any of those! If the boomers had left housing even somewhat affordable, I'd say get the hell off my lawn...
I apologize if I have misunderstood you, but that reads like agreement to me.
I swear, I'm really not trying to pick a fight but they said "I want to..." Wishful thinking. Picking apart the wording of a comment I didn't even write or agree with that isn't itself illegal, advocating violence, or against a communy's rules seems pointless...
To your edit: I stand by that. There is no joke. That person (I assume) has an illogical feeling that they want to rip it out... I've had the same intrusive thoughts standing at the edge of a high-up structure! If they actually do commit violence? Lock them up. Obviously...
Idk. I think it stops being an innocent intrusive thought once you've said it out loud on a public forum. It just feels mean spirited and rude. It'd be like saying "I hope he does a flip" out loud while in a crowd watching somebody about to jump off a building. Sure, he probably didn't hear you, but it's still fucked up and not okay. Maybe not that bad since nobody is at the risk of dying in the comment's case, but you probably get my point. Intrusive thoughts should be kept to yourself.
That said, I apologize for misinterpreting what you said as agreeing with them.
