New wave of tiktok goths and purity culture
Hi everyone I’ve never posted here, but I’ve had this in my mind for a really long time and I don’t see it talked about much, but for everyone on TikTok I’m sure you’ve seen those videos that are like “fake goth” (someone with basic goth makeup and an onlyfans) and “real goth” (5 people that have the same bats nest and ankh belt) and the comments are all shaming them and saying that they’re fake goth or whatever or sexualising the subculture. I feel like we’re actually losing the plot. The amount of slut shaming I’ve seen online is crazy within the goth community because why are we so against them but then love elvira (heavily sexualised character) or wear things that are heavily sexualised. I don’t think they realise how heavily SW is branched into the culture. none of the OF girls have actually done anything wrong but they get so much shit its so sad 😭 like I think how they act is a bit cringe but that’s not enough of a reason to get as much hate as they do. And people complaining about how it’s sexualising the culture and making boys have an unrealistic view of them is freaking stupid WHY are we blaming the women instead of the men feeding into that. Idk TLDR I don’t like the purity culture comeback online in goth spaces
