Why are goths so uptight and pretentious? By messybuu in messybuu's Diary Sun Jul 24, 2011 at 01:30:46 PM EST Tags: Goths, Subcultures, Self-Important, Catholic Church (all tags)
	So, I'm arguing with this goth over a recent Ikea ad that pokes fun at the goths, saying that a lamp "brightens up your furniture. Unlike a creepy gothic roommate, who can be a bad influence." She is PISSED as are goths everywhere. Would you run an ad that says 'Our Products are so inexpensive even a Jew would love them?' one self-important goth wrote (who apparently had penned an offensive comment against Muslims not long before). Really? Dressing in period costumes and listening to post-punk music is now akin to a religion?

Alright stop it. I'm not going to say anything else. Now you're just being silly. STOP LOOKING AT ME!

Family Guy is a show that mocks Christians quite often, but that doesn't the cool Christians at my church from watching it. Why? Because we have senses of humor and know that even if the joke is particularly offensive, that we could just change the channel and not get all butt-hurt over it. Goths, on the other hand, respond to any negative depiction or comment against them, whether it's an Ikea ad or a Goth Talk skit with PURE OUTRAGE. This reminds me of another group of people who also enjoy to dress in funny costumes. They too take themselves too seriously as seen when they complained to FOX about a fake Superbowl commercial in a Simpsons episode. I'm talking about the Catholic Church, of course. I never thought I'd say it, but Goths are as silly and uptight as the Catholic Church, which leads me to a poll.
