Here we go... I know this was coming.. people are starting to get really offened now, myself included...
alright, now, lemme explain the convict thing... cause many people may not understand that pants that are that low do stem from convicts... way back they used to put them in really huge clothes so that when they tried to escape they'd have trouble running... I mean I can understand if a guy wants more 'space' but when they're down really really low, it looks horrible, and it drives me crazy.. esp. when I have to see their boxers all the time because of it... I'm sorry, pants were made to cover your postierier, not to sit right under it.... The clothing 'should' not make anyone look like a convict, but the truth is, in my opinion, that it does.
Ok. Now I know you're just trying to prove a point by showing other sterotypes, but I take extreme offense to the saying of goths being satanists... being goth and having many goth friends, we all find this extremely offensive and absurd.. at least with the whole 'urban' convict connection there is basis on the masses, with 'gothic satanists' there was maybe a few instances that have been exaggerated in a massive hatred to the group. we all know goths get it pretty bad(not to say i do I dont, but the media and such does give a very negative image) Having been called down to guidance at my school with them insinuating I run a satanic cult recently, I found this disturbing.... I mean, what kind of a world is it when people think goths are satanists when the large majority arent.. in fact the reason i dress this way is to see if people will take the time to get to know the real me.. cause if they judge me.. say as a satanist, they so arent worth it! And then there's the whole aspect of religious beliefs, I will personally say i have some contraversal ones... and my belief system states there is no 'devil' or satan... so how am I a satanist?! ugh!!!!!!!!! Society is messed up!
So anywayz, I'm going to stop now cause I'm just getting more and more angry... point being: Is it really a sterotype when it seems that the masses give it some real basis?
They really do look like it to me.
*hugz to all as alwayz*
