You perpetuated the sterotype that goths are evil and will try to hurt you. stare Plus you purposely involved a child..... ~_~

*Doesn't see how this is a good thing*

"Freakin out the mundanes" can be intersting at times... but there is no reason to mess with children.  

[Illuminee]

That sounds like fun.
=D

 

[xAsh-chanx]

I think it sounds fun to, people are so ignorant it's fun to mess with them on occasion.

..it doesn't help with what others think of us though....doesn't that contradict the fact we want people to at least accept the style of the subculture.....

You can't get out of sterio types anyway. So I agree why not enjoy it.

And you wonder why people stare at us weirdly

And you wonder why people stare at us weirdly

If you bother them or not they are still going to stare and look at us weirdly.  

[EvFaerAshlynn]

I've never done that, but I swear, one day in my senior year of high school I will come to school as a Gothic Lolita. And trust me, changing from hyperactive goth kid to an animated gothic doll will probably scare the hell out of a couple of the freshmen... mwahahahahaha.

And then, of course, once I'm older I'll probably be a gothic mommy, and my kids will come home from school asking me if I'm a vampire because so-and-so in their class thinks I am.  

[MortSanglant]

That whole scenario has to be one of the most obnoxious things I've read on here in a while.

People who purposely exploit such stereotypes annoy the hell out of me.

That's the exact reason that I avoid perpetuating stereotypes, even if only using them jokingly.  

[[-Alluring Enchantress-]]

Well...I love to see the look on peoples faces when they see me but i dont take it much further....Unless someone is messing with me...Or if it is a adult. xd Me and my bf like to go behind people and talk about wierd things just to freak them out...But i dont do that to kids.  

[Choboxer]

stare If you were cool, you would have taught the kid that Goths are cool people. Instead of the boogy man under thair bed. Now that child is going to grow up to be one of thoses assholes that throw s**t at us and ask stupied questions.

Congrats on perpetuating the hate  

[Athiel]

I hardly ever bother strangers.

However, when elderly, conservative strangers really stop, stare, and mumble something like "Dear Lord, save this lost child..." I just can't resist a good old psychotic stare, coupled with a Charming Smile.

And even then, it's not about stereotypes. That's just how I am.
