Also called the Septum theory, because it does not refer to delicate single nostril ring or piercings, but to the more major piercings through the middle. I had not heard of it until this week, but the idea is that women with that kind of nose ring are anti-male, angry, and devoted to victimhood.
I would have guessed environmentalists myself. What we watch online is likely to be self-reinforcing. If you are shown a clip of an anti-male (likely young) woman with a prominent nose ring and click on it to hear the rest of what she's saying, you are likely to get other women who say much the same thing, and those will have a higher percentage of nose rings. If you get an environmentalist, you will start seeing more of those. It won't take look before the algorithms start finding more and more concentrated versions of them.
I go to the supermarket a lot, and we went to the pumpkin festival yesterday. I see a fair number of young women with nose rings at public events. I don't see any on the rail trails or at JV field hockey games, only occasionally at church. They wear black and they are sometimes in couples with other women, so that may imply an increase in anti-male sentiment, but I talk or nod to everyone, and they seem to respond as often and as pleasantly. I haven't kept a tight list.
So if you want to research this, I think you will need a sizable questionnaire to find out what their attitudes are. You can go one-at-a-time with a five point scale of ten questions about attitudes to men, I suppose, but that wouldn't be more than an association. They look more like lost souls to me, rather sad. There's no algorithm selecting more and more intense examples for me, so I'm sticking with my Lost Soul Hypothesis for the time being.
