They're openly right-wing and won't let anyone who doesn't agree to those terms, like saying "commies are the same thing as nazis", comment on their page.

Anyone got some background info about this weird shit?

(It's a facebook group, by the way… I'm not proud of where I found them.)

I want to introduce myself into this subculture but I would like to know what is more important, like what you think, what you look, what you read, things that I can know so I can be part of it. If you have any advice of how you started to be goth it would be amazing

Nothing I said was a lie. It's freedom of speech. It's not defamation of character if you believe is what you are saying is the truth. I thought they were supposed to be "against canceling" looks to me like they love it

I just got invited to a "goth baddies assemble" group on Instagram and the contents sickened me. What I didn't show here that was also in the chat was clip art of sexual acts. All from the people you see in the screenshots. It was disgusting to see, and infuriating. The constant fetishization of the subculture pisses me off on a daily damn occurrence. I reported the chat itself and the people, but I of course doubt that IG will even do a damn thing. I felt the need, amidst my agitation lmao, to come to reddit to vent about it and use it as an opportunity for discussion on how you as individuals feel about this constant issue and what you do to prevail over this and any experiences you've had related to being sexualized and objectified without your consent, when just trying to exist and mind your business.

(And if any of yall feel the desire to seek out that scum and mass report them, that would just be sweet, sweet justice 🤭 but that's just a bonus lol)

So I have these pants and I want to dye them black, would You recommend that? I want the different shades to stay, but the pants itself to be darker. The photo is what the pants look now.

I was finding bands who played at the Batcave and stumbled across them, honestly sad they have only 4 songs on Spotify! If anyone knows more about them I’ll be happy to know lol

I think there should be a rule blocking those type of posts here, and there should be a subreddit called something like r/newtogoth. That subreddit could be for people who are new to goth (baby bats) only, and could be for asking questions and learning.

I was watching Urban Legend and the goth character is portrayed as someone who is manic depressive and promiscuous. After watching this movie, I started thinking about other goth characters in movies and tv shows and how they are viewed and seen as “crazy” or “mentally unstable”. You see Nancy Downes in The Craft literally go insane with power and ends up in a mental institution by the end of the movie, you have various movies and tv shows with goth or alternative characters where they are seen on social rejects who are prone to insanity. The only accurate portrayals of goths I have seen in media is South Park’s Goth Kids, and Abbey from NCIS. It’s just a thought I had while watching these types of movies where people assume that a goth or alternative person is “crazy” whenever it comes to media. What do you guys think about this?
