I intend to prove that the stereotypes of Goths are unjust and need to end.
“OMFG! Look at that f***ing Goth! I can’t believe they would allow a thing like that in the mall. Can you believe it? He’s probably going to suck our blood! That f***ing Satanist.” You can hear statements like this everywhere there is a Goth. There are many stereotypes associated with Goths, such as depressed, angry, suicidal, violent, involved in illegal drugs, vampires, aggressive, Satanists, artists, hackers, vain, and listen to death metal. The whole stereotype thing is getting pretty overrated. There might be a diminutive article of fact, but it has been blown out of proportion.
There are many people that have taken these stereotypes to a whole new level. This excerpt is from Rev RG Green’s website, godhatesgoths.com. WARNING: what you are about to hear is revolting. It contains horrible discriminations. If you have a week stomach, you should not listen, or leave now.
“before you go any further, let's just clear up a few misconceptions you may have about what you really are -
So let's be straight here. Goths are the lowest form of human trash that has ever crawled upon this good clean earth. 'Garbage people' I call them, and I can assure you that is what they are. Freaks who worship the Devil, who take drugs and molest children, who have pre-marrital sex, who sleeper themselves, who are obsessed with Vampirism, and abuse handicapped kids, who promote cross-dressing and underaged homosexuality, who behave like wild violent animals that need to be put down, who cut themselves and try to get others to self harm, degrade themselves and attempt suicide and think it is acceptable behaviour. I rate them as detestable as those worthless cerebal palsy retarded creatures they plant at the entrance to Walmart, to welcome shoppers.
"Duuu... welllcuummm... too... wullmart... Duuuuu...".
Because let's face facts here, they are equally as pathetic and repulsive. …Goths in my opinion are more dangerous to Children than pedophiles, and need serious psychiatric help. The sooner Goths realise what they have is nothing short of mental illness, the better for everyone concerned.”
Rude comments like these have never made the headlines, but they should. Goths have the right to be treated fairly with out persecution, after all, America is a free country.
There have been many Goths in history that have benefited mankind. Most benefits have been in music. Some of the more famous artists include the Bauhaus, Marlin Manson, and the Dresden Dolls. Some famous writers are Anne Rice, famous for her vampire stories, and Edgar Allan Poe, famous for his dark style of poetry. Most men that have an inclination towards pornography or have seen Rock of Love 2, probably have heard of Ditta Von Tesse, a famous burlesque dancer. Gothic people have been seen on TV too. The most recognizable would be Pauley Perrete, or better known as Abby from NCIS. Gothic people have benefited our society, and all they are looking for in return is acception.
Goths are human beings. They have their own thoughts, views, and opinions. The Goth Subculture was formed for people who have been spurned from “normal” society. All they are looking for is a way to live their own life with out fear of harmful and hurtful repercussions. Give Goths a fighting chance for this. Give Goths acceptation. Don’t look down on them, after all, the world is not just black and white, it is in shades of gray.
