It's more than fashion sense to other people, at least to me, because I've seen people get on this pathway to personal self destruction. It's the most irritating when girls ignore your advice then a year or two later come back and say "you were right" after the damage has been permanently done.
There's an argument to me made for waiting too long to say something. For instance if somebody is showing signs of being an alcoholic, especially while hanging with sketchy people while being emotionally vulnerable, I think you say something rather than waiting until they are a danger to themselves and and others.
Being marked for life (literally) is more than just a fashion phase.
