Disarray and General Stupidity
It has come to my attention as of
late that the gothic community is in a bit of a state of disarray. I see people who claim to be “accepting” and “open-hearted” waging little ridiculous battles against others of
the very same kind. Well, to that I say
a hearty and sarcastic congratulations. By virtue of your pettiness and nonsense,
you’ve managed to become just like everyone else in the world. Nice job on being “different.” You sure claim to be different, don’t
you? Of course you do. All goths do.
But I’m the type of person that examines behavior and actions far more
than appearance. Shame on you if you’re
involved in any kind of drama and otherwise divisive behavior. What on Earth are you thinking? If I sound angry, it’s because I am. This is exactly the type of behavior that
gives everyone the right to not take
you seriously.
I
believe in the goth community, culture and movement. That’s why I’m mad. It’s personally embarrassing to me to see
what’s going on right now. There are
goth conventions, set up with the very best of intentions, that some of you
won’t attend just because of some petty, childish grudges. Again, shame on you. This is a recipe for failure amongst the goth
culture. Division is never the way to go
in such instances.
If we
continue to behave like silly little children, then we deserve the reputation
we have amongst the mainstream culture.
Many of you claim to be fighting stereotypes. If you’re serious about that, stop creating
them, dummy. Unite. Stop fighting and
backbiting. Stop gossiping. Can’t you realize that we’re all united under
the same banner? No, you can’t. You’re too focused on being heard, whatever that means. Put down your swords and shields, grow up,
embrace your brothers and sisters and move forward in unity. To summarize (in case you haven’t received my
point yet), many of you are behaving like asses. Stop giving good goths a bad name. If you don’t like honesty, stop reading my
stuff. There’s lots of tabloids out
there that would suit you just fine.
