I'll say again:

The site is a joke.

There's a disclaimer on the "About Us" page.

About Us Page
DISCLAIMER : The Godhatesgoths website, Parents Against Goth Movement and Gods Hammer Baptist Church are complete works of fiction. It is a satire/parody. When you use godhatesgoths.com you are agreeing and consenting to our terms and conditions of use which we, at our sole discretion, may change in any way at any time. Furthermore we do not guarantee that any of the materials or articles or content on this site will contain no errors, nor that they will be accurate in the slightest. Nor do we state that we agree in anyway with any of the content or views or beliefs within these articles, or with the fictional views of the fictional character Rev RG Green, or any of his fictional followers or fictional members of his fictional Church. This site is meant to be viewed as black humor, parody and satire on very real people and organisations out there, who DO think goth and metal is the devil's music. For more information on people who really are speaking out against rock and goth music please view our resources section. For our complete terms and conditions please email us, and we will be pleased to supply them in full. Thank you and i hope you enjoy our site.


I think this thread should be locked already; the discussion died long ago and people have repeated the disclaimer numerous times.


Well, the discussion can go on. The problem is that the conversation should be this:

Ideal
Person 1: I think the site is very well made, but maybe too well made. People don't seem to be getting the joke.

Person 2: Maybe that's a good thing. I know of many people who were anti-goth who now aren't because how ridiculous the site made the anti-goth movement seem.

Et'cetera


rather than this:

What is
Person 1: This site sucks.

Person 2: None of that stuff is true! This site sucks.

Person 3: I'm a Christian and I don't believe any of that stuff! This site sucks.

Rinse and Repeat.

The trouble with parody sites is that there are a lot of wackos out there. No matter how over-the-top the parody is, there will always be a few nutbars who really do think that way.

Because of that, it's sometimes hard to tell if something's a parody. Slap as many disclaimers on it as you like, but plenty of people will have run into the same crazy attitudes in real life and will get offended when they see it on the net.

The other problem with sites like this is that people who agree with what they're saying may not see the disclaimers, either. Without meaning to, things like this can fuel the very prejudice they're making fun of.

That is probably the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.

Honestly, God loves us all equally. He could never hate anybody just because of the way they dress, wear their makeup, and their specific taste in music. ******** that site. Obviously they should know that the term "Goth" is a form of culture. As some people have already said, I do believe that people have a right to their own opinions, and nobody can choose for them. They're probably just some person calling them self god so they can scare us away and make us feel more ashamed of being the way that we truly are. I hope somebody sues their a** off... xd

As has been said now in this thread over a dozen times:

The website is a joke. It's a parody/satire.

Go to their "About Us" page and scroll to the bottom. There's a disclaimer explaining that the entire site is a joke, and most of the people/resources cited are fictional.
