stereotypes to your advantage/for fun??

[SMiNKLe]

Haha that's hilarious. Especially the part with the little kid.

This year at school if any freshmen ask if I'm goth/emo/satanic, I'm just going to say that I am and freak them out.  

[AdrianaKitten]

It can be an advantage.Even if its wrong.But funny is just funny.Thats sounds fun.I think I did that to my friends annoying cousins.XD  

[DracoSofy]

that was funny, but poor kid  

[mee_shee]

To involve the kid was really, really skrewed up of you and your friend.

If it was an adult who was really f-d up in the head about goths then maybe.

But still, being goth, to me, isn't about harming other people, and the fact that you would try to scare people in believing that we are bad people kind of pisses me off.

I'm trying to show people that we aren't going to look at them, say a hex, and damn them to hell.

Simply by doing nice things for random people when I'm all "decked out in my stuff".

i've done it, and it was sooooo much fun
this ned from my high school came over to me with her wee pals and this is what happened:

ned: why do you dress like that?
me: why do you dress like that?
ned: cuz its cool but the way you dress, you just look like a wee freaky goff. (the way neds say goth)
me: thats a lie! i preffer the term undead...
ned surprised h my gawd, check eh state!
me: or not
some of neds pals: just leave it
and they walked away from her
ned: naw i'll beat her up if she tries anyfin cuz shes just a wee witch (all the neds think im a witch as they confuse witch and pagan)
me: no, ill use my satan powers to kill you, painfully twisted
ned: you...you cant do that!
me: cant i?*evil smile*
ned: you wouldnt
me: *draws upside down pentical star in snow*
ned: *runs away in tears*

i love scaring neds...

cant wait to scare the munchicins this year (first years) and kill-a-first-year will be the highlight of my year

This sort of thing has always seemed like a fun idea...But I guess I'm lazy or unmotivated, or both cause I've never gotten around to it.  

[GilAskan]

I maintain that this is a bad idea, and helps contribute to the spread of stereotypes.  

[Vegacom2]

The idea was funny, but involving the little kid was kinda mean...

That will eventually spread sterotypes even more...

Though, I wouldn't mind scaring some of the preppies, who think they can dress like us just because it's a trend at the moment... twisted  

[Al-aaraaf]

As fun and tempting as I find scaring "Normals", I only do it if I feel they deserve it.
But I do admit, what you did was pretty funny nonetheless.  

[-Resurrected Writer-]

The only way that would've been acceptable would be if the little kid was being a brat. Then it would be funny.

Exactly.  

[neverwinter33]

It sounds like fun, though I hate the idea of doing that to a little kid.
They aren't the main problem, maybe teens started to scold at gothics because something like that happend to them..
Unrealistic I know, just do that to preppys and stuff and not to little kids, they deserve it. heart
