human beings often consent to engage in things that cause harm and choose to harm themselves and yet when it's a blade it's seen as horrible no matter what but people are constantly getting cirrhosis or fatty liver from harm they've done to themselves via diet. but only people who cause visible harm to themselves that's outside of the social norm get ostracized and institutionalized for it
this isn't to say cutting is good or not harmful it's just why do we pick and choose which harm is allowed
