a disturbing new trend is emerging - Page 3

Uhh...noooooo
It means that people who go around trying to act all awesome by belittling people on the internet are....retards!
I mean, if you wanna be tuff go pick a fight with someone you actually know, to their face. Well, if being arrogant floats your boat.

What's sad is this ISN'T a troll...

Porcelain · 05-13-2009, 07:32 AM

I will consider this lame conversation closed, as of now.

shame, it was something to keep me amused when I'm bored at school.

No it isn't.
Show me one single dictionary entry that says that.

It amuses me that Gnet regulars aren't only insensed by Catch's terrible fashion sense, but also expect her to actually stop making videos.

Oh, t3h dr4m4 of itz all!!1!

All of these are false assumptions.
And un-justified generalizations.

On point 3 - I agree with him, and I don't think I'm alone here.

In fact, I agree with points one, two, AND three. Hat trick, yo!

Catch · 05-13-2009, 01:23 PM

Yes, I am the only one who even attempts to glamorize everything I do; including, the bad things. That way it doesn't reflect on me badly, at least by my own standards. That is why I'm not a Goth.

Tam Li Hua · 05-13-2009, 01:31 PM

Y'know, for this being Gothic.net, there sure are a lot of folks here who disown the title.

Maybe the title of this site should be retitled "Jerks.net". It would be more appropriate.

Solumina · 05-13-2009, 01:45 PM

Well there are a few of us who came here when the literature was a major focus of the site and that is where the name of the site comes from, not the subculture.

Oh, don't be Unimatrix. Not even Unimatrix wants to be Unimatrix.

I agree with that... though someone sent me an invite.

Oky doky then.

Live in the delusion that the regulars here are actually nice, caring folk who rarely ever say a negative thing about anyone, or that most of the regulars don't despise "Goth" and everything it stands for.

Go ahead; I'll sit here and wait for the psychotic episode to end.

Who the hell said anything like THAT?

No they don't. They just disagree with people who think it stands for something more than it does. Go look at the threads in the music section, and tell me most of these people "despise" goth.

Pretty intolerant for a devotee of Christ, Tam. And clearly, the person who doesn't like to see people roam the forums pronouncing everybody assholes in posts made for no other purpose, because the emptiness of their lives depresses him, is having a "psychotic episode". That's the only explanation - it's science. Signe said so.

Catch · 05-13-2009, 02:27 PM

In conclusion, Goths are into one-ups-manship and often engage in insulting and attacking each other. I believe being able to take and give it is one of the ways to define a Goth.

If someone out there is trying to call this racist, they are racist or trying to get more people on their side, because someone insulted their hair.

The End

If you assume Porcelain knew the meaning, the original insult does make sense as "you who are doomed/destined to be losers".

What takes away the punch line though is that the meaning was apparently not known. It was a "lucky" shot.

Sorry for the off-topic response, folks.

@Renatus: Is your location really Wisconsin? If so, and you've heard of the Anaheim Angels, I'm surprised you've not heard of the Minnesota Twins.

@Apathy's Child:

This site is full of a lot of judgmental people. The "unpopular" folks aren't the only ones to say so.

If it gets on your nerves that constant, unnecessary flaming gets on my nerves, then so be it. Christ didn't put up with attitudes like that, and neither shall I.

Actually, Christ did put up with attitudes like that, turn the other cheek and all that jazz. Infact he willingly died and wouldn't defend himself at all against even more judgmental "attitudes" than that, and I think us pointing out that you're an idiot isn't parallel at all to what Christ had to put up with. I'm thinking comparing the persecution of Jesus Christ to internet flaming is a little extreme, actually.

Duane · 05-13-2009, 08:11 PM

Being called an idiot is nothing compared to what Jesus went through.

That actually doesn't make sense; a fatalist being a person who believes they can't change anything, and if stuff is going to be shit, there's nothing they can do about it.
Now that I think of it, fatalist probably wasn't the best choice of word, despite it being the first to come to mind...I probably should have gone for 'negative' or 'arrogant' or 'pathetic'.
Meh.

Oh while I'm here, and since everyone here is so dedicated to conformity, I'm gonna conform:

*points out your idiocy, craps on as I'm supremely intelligent, is a total douche*

Godslayer Jillian · 05-14-2009, 12:09 AM

Yeah. You totally got us. You're such a 'fatalist loser'
You seriously need to grow up.

What??!!! I'm sorry but I you are way off. Playing stupid little high school petty bullshit poplularity/mind games has nothing to do with being goth, it just means that you are an insecure tool who bases your identity and self worth on what everyone else thinks of them.

hear, hear.

Godslayer Jillian · 05-14-2009, 02:08 AM

You know you have nothing smart to say when you agree with Catch. That's just a fact.

SiouxsiePernova · 05-14-2009, 02:10 AM

What has racism got to do with this discussion? That made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
