「煉獄」

why did i have to look at this

But it’s true, many goths have been bullied and even killed for who they are but as soon as someone famous at the “normal” people like dresses even the slightest bit darker than normal, they look up to them, call them beautiful or brave or whatever for dressing different. As soon as that moment ends though they go back to being an asshole to goths.

Who are these goths being killed for dressing in black lmao

Sophie Lancaster. Here are some links 1)Murder of Sophie Lancaster 2) The Sophie Lancaster Foundation 3) Brendan Harris, one of her murderers, given an extra sentence 4) The Guardian: Brutal Attacks of Robert Maltby and Sophie Lancaster 5) Huffington Post: Weirdo, Mosher, Freak: The Legacy of Sophie Lancaster

Y'know what? Here’s some more, not to do with the tragic case of Sophie Lancaster to show it isn’t an isolated incident. @timewarpagain 1) The Independent: The Abuse Has Become a Daily Thing 2) Goth Girl Punched and Dragged to the Ground 3) Woman attacks goths with handbag 4) Two goths punched and kicked 5) I was disowned for being a goth And then there’s the racism 1)Discussion: I hate when I see black goths 2)Black goth girl problems Online Abuse: 1) Goth reads hate comments Religion: 1) Goth is blasphemy against God

IIRC, attacking someone for being a member of a subculture is actually considered a hate crime in the UK because of how severe the attacks on goths/other alternative people were becoming? But let’s be 100% honest here: This is still only a tiny sliver of what POC experience. What we go through just because we’re different (which yes, we can control but to attack people for something like this is still WRONG) is nowhere NEAR what POC go through. We don’t face institutionalized discrimination the way that they do. However yeah – don’t do that whole “LOL GOTHS AREN’T KILLED FOR WEARING BLACK” bullshit because no, they have been. People have been violently attacked and bullied and I’m sure that the links above are only a little bit of what’s happened.
