Subjecting to ridicule?

"I think it's stupid how goth kids subject themselves to ridicule by dressing different. Then I see you guys bitching about getting made fun of. All I'm saying is stop bitching becuase you bring it on yourselfs when you dress like that."

That's pretty much what I think. Don't complain about being stared at if you dress differently. When it crosses the line to abuse (verbal, physical, whatever) then it's being taken too far.

Although, I disagree with her saying that dressing differently is stupid. And that we do it to subject ourselves to ridicule, if that's what she meant.

Basically yes taht was what she was saying. However, I don't b***h when people make fun f me..I somehow turn everything into one big joke..laugh it off. then go about my day.

I get more compliments on my style rather than put downs but if it is the rare occasion someone does put me down, I just smile it off. Whatever, right? =]

and I agree on the whole don't b***h about how people ridecule you if you are bringing it on ourself bit.

The problem with any sort of outlandish fashion statement (and let's face it, a lot of the 'normals' think goth is pretty outlandish!) is that some people just won't get it.

That said, I don't think it's fair of people to judge someone's character or likely behavior based on how they're dressed. There's nothing inherently wrong with dressing goth as long as it's not done at times and places where display is totally inappropriate.

I don't mind if people stare at me or even point when I'm all gothed out, because I figure I'm asking for it by looking so strange. What I don't like and don't think is justifiable is when people assume I'm going to be some rude, nasty thug.

Yep and then They assume other normal people are just plain nice. It's better when they find out it's not always like that.

That's a good thing to do. I do that as well.

the strangeness

It sad but true that SOME people dress goth for the attention, or to fit in, or out of some sense of rebellion.
But that doesn't mean every goth has to be like that.

I personally dress the way I do because I think it's beautiful. I just have a different definition of beauty. I apologize for that all the time and sometimes that bugs me. But talking to other people that like the same things I do helps.

Well spoken, I agree.

I find it pointless to listen to the people who obsess over small things like how I dress, my peircings, or my tattoo. "You dress funny" Ok thanks have a nice day..so yeah.

Thats not what she was saying, most goths do just ignore it and go on, like you did, instead of bitching. But She recently stated that she thinks goths take it "overboard" with the make-up and dress and hairstyles.

She probably is only saying that because she feels uncomfortable around goths, that is her little comfort zone is easily breached by things just a tad bit strange, but thats just my opinion.

I think people should be able to accept and do not criticize other ways to live or dress, considering that like 75% of the society dress like "fashion" says just for be in the "normal standards" and do not be condered different (Thing that imo is really stupid).
I belive that being goth or punk for example is another ay to express yourself. However a person should be respected regardless if is goth or no just for the simple fact that is a person.

QFT.

except at my school, where everyone who is not an outcast is a d**k to me, i usually don't get any serious abuse. just yesterday i went out w/ my parents and i got compliments on my clothing from random adults. i got the usual stares, and its to be expected, after all, how many black girls do you know put giant red and black ribbons in their hair and walk around in a corset? i say this only because i get heat b/c i'm black and i dress from the norm in a culture that wouldn't expect so of me but i think that there was another thread about this somewhere.

i don't give a crap. we live in a world that looks down on those that stand out. i embrace my uniqueness and i pity those that are afraid to break out of their monotonous shells. or the ones that want to stand out but are too afraid to. i absolutely love it when i find someone who shares intrests similar to mine, because its hard enough to make friends in this world, good ones at least.

so my message to anyone who feels like they're dying from the harrassment. be the apathetic snail with the pretty decorated shell and when it gets to be too much for you, retreat inside and relish in your awesomeness.

I dress the way I do because I like to and I want to. And I like getting those looks that say "wait a sec, let me do a double take".

When someone makes fun of me, it's usually just t mess with me because I live in a town with a lot of goths. But when they mean it, it's usually the "oh god, your such a freak."

To which I say, "Thank you, I try". Usually they're so freaked out they just walk away.

There was one time I was called a satanist by an obviously tourist couple (i live in a town close to the ocean and they had the "we've never been to the beach before" fashions.".

I pulled out my copy of the bible and cross that I always carry around and they stared at me like I'd grown a second head. I met them again the next day and they apologized.

I find that small children smile and wake no matter how a person is dressed. if a person smiles, they think they're nice. moms tend to pull small children in the opposite direction if I smile and wave, though...
