I read that wearing tapers as jewelry is stupid and that it's only for stretching your ears but as I am unable to stretch mine due to the problems it would cause to my left ear, I was wondering if it's okay to wear them if they were fake but not all the time? I personally like look of it but I don't want to look like an idiot or a 'poser' to other people. You can't tell whether they are real or fake anyway.

Yeah, wearing tapers as jewelry is pretty looked down upon in the stretching community. Me personal opinion- if you can't stretch your ears and like how tapers or plugs look and want to wear fake ones, I don't care haha. But you know they make fake plugs right? Basically like the fake tapers but look like a plug. Then you don't have to worry about looking like an "idiot or poser". I've never used them since my ears are stretched but you could check those out. Good luck!
