Fear of Goths

I thought this was funny. Then I thought it was stupid:

It should be legal to kill the stupid. Darwin's theory clearly is not working.

I have noticed that any goth-related violence will receive high profile coverage in the media. But it seems to be no big deal that inner city kids abduct, kill, ****, and deal drugs all the time among their own. If one is to walk the thin line of labelling a particular sub-culture as "evil," there are far more prevalent and violent subcultures available, but this is comparatively overlooked. Political correctness at work?

Then there is the scariest of all, the Neo-Con subculture. Ah, but they own the media. :^)

When I read the thread title, I though of chasing after some obnoxious kid with a cane yelling, 'I'll put the fear of Goth into you, whippersnapper!'

These girls are not known for being intelligent. Furthermore, they are doing the whole OC thing where not fitting in REALLY is the worst possible thing that can happen to you. I always want to kidnap people like these and take them downtown to the industrial part of LA and leave them there. At dusk. Aaaagh.

Does the cane have a skull on top of it?

Hah.
Judgmental blond chicks?
I guess they want to know how it feels to be on the other end of the stereotypes.

This emo kid at my school is terrified of me. I have no idea why, I've not hurt him or anyone in front of him. ._.

Mine is actually sporting a sleeping nude woman, wrapped in a sheet and her own long hair.

Skull would work fine though. =P

Yeah, that's right. Be afraid. Be VERY... afraid.

It's because we protect the stupid. I say we remove all warning labels and let nature run its course.

Makes you wonder why two white chicks can say 'our fear of goths unite us' yet if you replace 'goth' with 'blacks' or 'jews' people would have a conniption fit.

Seems quite bigoted and almost racist, if being goth was a race ya know

Yes, exactly. Things are too easy, it doesn't let anyone get any stronger, at least not mentally.

Hm, if this keeps going, I'm sure a KKK type groug will get started to get rid of Goths, and other similar groups. When is this all going to end?

If anything, the goths should've been afraid of them.

Well said.
But what did they mean by "gothy" from there view point they could see anyone not where name brand items or anyone with dyed hair "gothy." That class could have had no Goths (unlikely) in it what so ever, maybe they were with a bunch of hippies or non-conformist types. The one did go to fashion institute after all, I always find those people quite queer.
