    It is weird, it’s also the leading rhetoric for Musk and other conservative/alt right influencers that spread the message of the trad wife and the prerequisite purity required of a wife. Also how tattoos corrupt that “purity”

    That population collapse quote was from Musk himself trying to downplay the environmental issues we all face as a species.

      Okay. That’s totally irrelevant, though. There isn’t even a caption on this image that implies any political motivation at all.

      I’ve had several left-leaning friends who hated tattoos and the idea of them, as well as right-leaning friends who love them and literally fantasize about getting the next one as soon as their latest one is done. Hell, during the brief period I tried using dating apps, it was the most aggressively-tattooed people that I recall being more likely to have something pro-Trump right at the top of their profiles.

      The bottom line is, a lot of people think being covered in tattoos looks unattractive or even repulsive, and they are definitely NOT “all bunched up in one corner” politically. Hence “that’s a pretty big assumption”.

      Edit: Reverse searched the image, and the only result is from a generic anti-tattoo group. Knock me over with a feather.
