Its an entirely cosmetic procedure.
Once you accepted that humans do a lot of things for aesthetics, I'm not sure why the rationale of male circumcision is much more difficult to understand. Outside of religious reasons, the primary reason for circumcision is cosmetic.
The best argument against male circumcision is that its pointless. But so are braces. So is hair removal. So are hair stylings. So are piercings. So is make up. So is having a tight ass, big arms, or a six-pack. But we're human and we all would rather look more attractive than less attractive. And culturally, we've decided whats attractive and what isn't.
And if I believe - "subjectively" - that one looks better than the other and the act won't adversely impact the long-term health or well-being of my child, I'd be crazy not to do it. If you think it either makes no difference to attractiveness and both are equally attractive, you'd be crazy to do it.
And hence why its like "chill bro!"
