As you know, everybody is a fucking critic, everyone has an idea about what you should be, what you should do and what you can or can’t do. We came into this world as individuals. We can take it as it is or fall in line like a sheep.

Goth is a form of artistic appreciation and expression that encompasses things and concepts which can be dark and mysterious – For example: Death, fear, horror, pain, evil, cruelty, disfigurement, sorrow, grief, sex, etcetera. Gothic culture is not a celebration of these things but an ability to find beauty in places where others don't often look. With this mindset, we have a natural appreciation for things that others with different tastes might find unacceptable.

What you must come to understand is that Goths are most certainly NOT evil. All you are doing is placing an unsavoury stereotype upon us.

In regard to his t-shirt, it can be purchased from here [link] It's merchandise from a WEB COMIC. I suggest you do your research before making ignorant comments.

Thank you.

First of all... REAL Gothic culture died more than a thousand years ago. I'm pretty sure if you ever opened a book or watched the history channel you'd know what the fuck you're talking about. What you have is a made up culture called "Gothic" Industrial. Which I love Industrial- but half of the people into it are full of fucking shit. If you ever talked to any of these "goth" kids their attitudes are "Yeah I hate the world. Kill everyone. Woe is me." Find me one "goth" person that has a great enough outlook to be able to help other people. You can't. And using "Goth Help Us" as a pun is really fucking stupid. The only thing you are going to get is a bunch of criticism from Christians taking "God Help Us" and fucking it up to make it sound like something totally stupid. Which it is. You have a dumb cause.
And, Thank you.
