I find complaints about goth elitism so ironic because it’s honestly just a pushback against capitalism ruining the subculture

it’s in the best interests for capitalism to shift the focus from community based on a shared appreciation of music into what you look like, aka what you own

look... if you wanna call yourself goth please take a break from adding to your dollskill cart and buy from independent creators on Etsy, go to local goth events to support your local scene, support lesser known goth bands, etc...

just instead of complaining about evil elitists not letting you in because you think panic at the disco are a goth band actually make an effort to find out what it means to be in a subculture

RACIST GOTHS FUCK OFF AND HOW DARE YOU CALL YOURSELVES GOTH

[zaolan]

You can’t be goth/punk and be racist. You can’t be goth/punk and be homophobic. You can’t be goth/punk and be transphobic. You can’t be goth/punk and be anti-Semitic. You’re not punk. You’re a bigot with a Mohawk.

reminder that this blog, while not politically focused, supports BLM. bootlickers and racists aren’t welcome here, and never will be.

[birdofprey1234]

The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women of colour like Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can.Hey! Better yet, reblog this version:

y’all, i feel like i need to remind y’all that there’s a huge difference between ignoring what’s going on, and taking a mental break because you’re exhausted with trying to keep up with the situation in the country right now. this shit is no joke and is weighing incredibly heavy on people such as myself and if you need to take a break from this and just log out, please do. please take care of yourself and don’t feel bad that you’re not keeping up with things at every second of the day.

[thecalmthatkeepsyouawake]

god i keep reading the notes on this post about being privileged to take a break and i feel the need to explain a few things. one, a black man wrote this post. two, i clearly emphasized the point of ignoring what’s going on. I understand that non black people have the privilege of being able to “log out” and not be effected by this. black people like myself don’t have that privilege of just being able to log out. what i’m trying to say with this post is that you shouldn’t be feeling like shit all day and having anxiety attacks and generally feeling incredibly overwhelmed all the time. taking care of your mental health is not up for fucking debate and I don’t care what the color of your skin is, this applies to everyone. take care of yourself mentally and physically. i can’t believe I have to argue that people have the right to care for themselves amidst all the shit going on in the world today.
