Guess I wasnt around for all that, but hey, if you get burned out on making fun of her, you can always turn to me. I'm so bad at dressing that I could be caught red handed by E! Entertainment ass fucking a dude, and they would still believe me if I said "I'm not gay".

Self-deprecation won't get you in our good graces either.

Firstly, it is absurd for you to attempt to establish yourself as the de-facto punching bag for the gothic.net community. This is not some kind of prestigious contest; and if it were, I cannot imagine that it would be one worth winning.
Secondly, that reference to homosexual acts and stereotypes was completely unnecessary, nonsensical, and offensive. If that is your idea of humor, you are about to find that you are unique in that regard.
Smarten up.

The Goth Chicken didn't cross the road.
It believes that its pointless to get across it and enjoy staring at it's lifeless state.
I hardly hang out with "Gothic" folk, but believe that I have a very acute sense of humour.
Mayhaps its because being Goth only makes up a small part of me?

Catch,
What is Goth anyways? The subculture (in my view) focuses on individuality and is a riot saying "fuck you!" to the mainstream logos and such and such. Quite frankly I enjoy jokes. I may dress oddly to any "normal" human but I see myself as perfectly "normal" looking. In fact those people who dress in pink mini-skirts and ridiculous looking shirts with ten layers of clothes on are the odd ones to me.
There isn’t really a definition for "Goth". So if someone says I'm not "Goth" because I know how to laugh, I'll know that they are insane, which brings us back to the point of "what is Goth".
I haven’t a clue if that statement above makes sense or not to any of you, hopefully it does.

Yes there is.
It does not however dictate that you should have no sense of humour, as your musical interests have nothing to do with your personality. You say its about "individuality" but as with most other scenes, a lot of Goths are no different than other people, save for what they look like and what they listen to, and will follow along with their crowd.

No I'm pretty sure I know atleast 3 gay dudes right off the top of my head that would have laughed at that, it seems that just the hetero's took offense this time around.

Coming from me this is ironic, but if you weren't so stupid, people wouldn't hate you so much.

I assume that you are implying that hatred based on intellectual competency is as justified as hatred based on skin color? Well, you're right, they are both very good examples of forms of ignorance. Even if I were stupid, I'd laugh at you for making that statement.

I'll take that as a "zomg I just got pwned, but I think I'll play it off like I wasnt by making a pathetic attempt at sounding cleverly sarcastic".

Hatred of willful ignorance is hardly comparable to racism and sorry but your brand of stupidity happens to be willful ignorance.

Hate to burst your bubble there, but willful ignorance isnt stupidity, you should probably invest in a dictionary.

Stupid- given to unintelligent decisions or acts: acting in an unintelligent or careless manner, marked by or resulting from unreasoned thinking or acting, lacking interest or point
Ignorance- resulting from or showing lack of knowledge or intelligence
From those definitions it can easily be gathered that willful ignorance is stupid and I'm pretty sure that just about everyone accepts the definitions in Merriam-Webster
