Last night, I managed to log into my old dead Instagram account I haven't used in like 6 years because I was up all night because I forgot to take my sleeping meds. The point is, I found the account of one of my old "goth" classmates in college and was wondering why none of my other classmates weren't following her anymore.
Turns out she's like this insanely extreme pro lifer, alberta separatist, antivaxxer type... no wonder why no one follows her on her account anymore.
Recently, on my current instagram account, I also had to unfollow and block a "goth" person whom I once thought was my friend. Turns out, she thinks being LGBTQ+ is a sexual sin and says that she struggles with "SSA" (SAME SEX ATTRACTION). Her whole comments section was filled with other "ex-gay" people trying to "repent for their sins".
Now if your wondering why I put "goth" in quotations, it's not just because these people were conservative, and holding far-right veiws. It's because there people never participated in the goth scene, online or in person to begin with.
The first girl I mentioned dresses and calls herself goth. But, she doesn't follow any goth bands, doesn't follow anyone in her local scene, doesn't frequent any of the local clubs or pubs, it's fucking wild. This girl is so wrapped up in her families conservative views and the loud opinions of Andrew Tate type people online. Like I swear to fuck, if this chick just went and touched grass once in a while, maybe she'd start to question some of the indoctrination. Maybe if she participated in her local scene and met and made friends with people, she'd start to question the fucked up things she and her family have been perpetuating.
