I think it would be easier to go round with scars if there was less stigma, but I don't think it would make cutting 'ok'.
Like Something Vague (don't know your name sorry!) said, it would make it seem fine and healthy to do, and it could encourage other people who don't SI to think that it's good.
I would never go out with fresh wounds on show, stigma or no stigma, I don't think it's fair on other people. Scars are different, but wounds could trigger other SIers and also people might be squeamish or not like the site of blood or anything like that.
There are more downsides to SI than just social stigmas, it may work in the short term, but you still have the same problems which, while you SI, you aren't really learning to deal with.
I hate the way people judge you on scars and I don't like society's view that you're 'crazy' if you self harm, but at the same time, SI isn't really normal when you think about it, so should it really be viewed as an ok thing for everyone to do?
