This erodes norms which leads to things like Reddit openly celebrating murder.
That was already happening, and no amount of being nice to vile people will stop it. They are already fully radicalised and have been for a long time.

Yes.
The prominent ones are keeping their mouths shut, but the ones who think they're too small to be noticed are openly celebrating.
In a just world their sentiments would be sent to their employers, and the police.

Consequently, refusing to make any kind of outward appearance choice in favour of following the herd and doing the most unobjectionable thing possible at all times is also a choice that enables judgement of people.
I would've thought that people aorund these parts might see the value in not just doing whatever is most acceptable to everyone around you at all times.

You just...you don't do that!
Yes... you do. I do. Almost everyone I know does. My 71 year old mother is getting a tattoo next month.
That's your skin! It's not a piece of paper!
No, it's a far more appropriate venue to express yourself than a piece of paper. It's for things that mean enough to you to have them etched physically onto you semi-permanently. You are a blank canvas, when you could be a work of art encompassing all of your being expressed visually. Not customising your body is like never changing the default desktop background on your PC. It speaks to a terribly boring person.
Do you want to look like the kind of person who gets tattoos?!
Interesting and attractive? Yes, actually.
Frankly, if you've never made any change to your body, no non-ear piercings, no tattoos, never dyed your hair, if you are a totally stock out-of-box generic human-brand-human, I'm just going to assume you're a dull as dishwater person. That you've never felt anything in your life strongly enough to wish to express it openly. You desire conformity, to fly under the radar, to get your head down and get on and never make waves.
This level of pearl clutching, in addition, suggests to me that you might be fairly repressed or sheltered.
Wasn't this the conceit of Dead Space? You have to actively dismember things until they stop moving?
As far as other games I know, there's a sort-of system in 7 Days To Die where by scoring a critical hit on a body part will blow it off and add a bleeding health drain debuff, and crippling the head is always an instant kill. That sort of thing could well be expanded on in a game that focuses its combat entirely around such a system.
