Look, it's ape descendant, a certified genuine idiot. Gang up on her instead-- because when it comes to mouth-breathers, there's no substitute for the real deal.

Anarasha 07-22-2010 12:43 AM

I was born a naked, screaming and bloody thing. Not a goth.

I have to agree.

That last comment of his about Shrek is the last straw for me, though. It wasn't even amusing..

1) Gothicus - You're full of yourself. And not in the usually good way.

2) By definition, it's not trolling if the only people participating in the thread are all trolls. (And please do follow that circular and contradictory logic down the rabbit hole to it's natural conclusion! Ahahahahahah!)

3) Alan, the post reporting system has had it's auto-ban functionality disabled (as disclosed by Gnet admin in the feedback thread recently). So you can get this character as many infraction points as you want and it's not going away. The only thing that can get it banned is if you report a highly offensive post to the admins, and they decide to ban it. Since they banned Ducky for posting a picture of poop but chose not to ban DMW for making a statement that someone here deserved to be rraped, it's a crapshoot at best. Good luck with that.

4) ssj_goku, stop using the words "noob", "gay" and "gaywad" as they only serve to make you look simultaneously juvenile, homosexual and homophobic.

5) I'm quite enjoying this thread. It's like watching a live performance by The Three Stooges, only the whole audience is also filled with Stooges! What's not to like?

gothicusmaximus 07-22-2010 09:52 AM

All right, I guess I didn't take into account the possibility that you guys would be so willfully ignorant. Carry on then.
As it happens, I'm actually starting to like this troll. His posts about the bull are hilarious.

Ben Lahnger 07-22-2010 10:03 AM

See, that's what I'm saying.

"Because you're not playing with it." (first goddamn sentence I wrote to you)

Jesus Christ, dude, you're starting to worry me.

You obviously didn't get what I was getting at. Whatever. I'm over this whole thing. I'm no longer drunk, so to continue this would annoy me rather than amuse me.

Hey SSJGoku - assuming you're being genuine, a troll is someone who posts trying to stir up trouble, i.e. by acting stupid, saying things that piss people off, or in your case, pretend to be an ignorant little kid obsessed with bad anime.

Dunno. Let's try it on He-who-must-not-be-named.

Catch 07-22-2010 03:13 PM

Glad the Dragon Ball Z avatar is gone. Makes it more believable.

Everytime I see one of these threads can't help think someone else is attempting to get free info for their book about Goth culture. Unforetunately, the questions are always subjective and left up to interpretation since no one read the last lame book about Goth culture written by neither Goth or Psychologist. :p

Just lame pratter with no purpose. If you were Goth, you wouldn't have to ask so much because you'd have friends and real experiences. ~sigh~ If you were a psychologist, I'd hope you took the time to go futher in depth with the person and breakdown persona barriers instinctually wanting to evade anything deep, therefore, potentially embarassing or painful. It's all a load. You can't get any sincere info from a chat forum.

LenorePoe 07-22-2010 11:50 PM

wait, so SSJGoku was banned? yay

ape descendant 07-23-2010 06:09 PM

Born, same way one is born gay. There are probably several factors that we're born with that dictate what we're interested in and what we enojoy.. so.. I think that every one who's truly goth, was born that way.

Apathy's_Child 07-24-2010 01:49 AM

... God damn it, Ape.

ape descendant 07-24-2010 06:30 AM

Sorry for giving a serious answer? I'm not saying that it's anything special that one is specifically born, only saying that the genes that cause tendencies towards one thing or another are present at birth.. they'd have to be.

Hearts_Purple 07-25-2010 01:56 PM

Gods, didn't we make a faq for this shit back in 2003 or 2004? Fuckin' n00bz.

ssj_goku 07-28-2010 09:51 PM

I think I was born a Goth. I've always liked stuff like metal music and the devil (I also liked Joy Division the first time it was played for me even though it was a little wierd). My older brother is 21 and he likes stuff like that too, so I think we were both born goth because we have similar jenes.

What about you?

Your spelling is too atrocious to be Goth. Try again. And having similar jeans could give you a yeast infection. Don't take my word for it, ask your mommy.

ssj_goku 07-29-2010 10:49 AM

You'd better be careful, it's illegal to talk about peopls moms on gothic.net!

And as if you have room to talk?
Grow up and take some spelling and grammar classes.

OnyxBat 07-30-2010 01:34 PM

Not all goths follow the devil , some r christians, catholic, jewish, buddist, etc.
but most ppl like to follow the stereotypes and thats why ppl reject goths.

Tam Li Hua 07-30-2010 01:39 PM

^ And here I thought some folks reject Goths [unfairly] because of Columbine, or sensationalist news stories, or an unrealistic fear of the color black and skulls/bats/spiders. ;)

OnyxBat 07-30-2010 01:43 PM

Your right about the sensationalist news part but hey you know how old ppl r? religous and strict.

Tam Li Hua 07-30-2010 01:46 PM

Not all old people. I go to church with a lot of old people, and dress Goth when I go.

No one's said anything rude or mean to me yet. Not so much as even an offended sniff. In fact, most of the time, I get complements.

Also, my dad is old, and he doesn't care; he was in his 70s when he got his ear stud. So...yeah.

OnyxBat 07-30-2010 01:55 PM

I'm talking about the old fashion tradional ppl that dont really know you that much or at all. I get complaments to and also a whole load of names. Ya parents would be cool with it but not your Preist or ribi. no offence.

Boh Selectah 07-30-2010 02:24 PM

all the old people i know listen to dub and smoke pot.......

edit: also, damn son. use your spellcheck, it's a little hard to read, y'know?

Tam Li Hua 07-30-2010 03:16 PM

...what's a 'ribi'..?

Do...do you mean "rabbi"..?

OnyxBat 07-30-2010 03:26 PM

Sorry about that, my 'R' and some of my keys aren't working well.

OnyxBat 07-30-2010 03:27 PM

Yes a rabbi

le_revenant 07-31-2010 09:06 PM

In my heart I always knew I was something 'other' than the usual.
Only problem was that I didn't know about 'goth' until a few years ago. Til then it was just adolescent melancholy & trying to fit in to whatever.
I had my metal phase in the late 80s but I wouldn't consider that 'gothic' any more than my early 80s New Romantic phase or my flirtation w/ blues rock in the 90s.

You might be born 'gothic', but you have to realize for yourself as something true rather that just joining a now-popular bandwagon.

d0p3y 07-31-2010 11:52 PM

well your born with it.

now,some people say if your bitten by a goth during a lunar eclipse on october 31st in the chinese year of the dragon while making a purchase at hot topic you can become one, but those are just rumors nothing is confirmed...

LenorePoe 08-01-2010 10:17 AM

I don't think you're born with it.
Perhaps you're born with a type of attitude (personality has been proven to be partially genetic) that fits well with goths, but there's nothing in genetics that predisposes people to wear black.
Its a fashion, its a music genre, that's all there is to it.

lady_cthulhu 08-01-2010 10:37 AM

I started showing gothic tendencies at a very you age (7 or 8), I remember after school I would often sneak into the elementary school library to wait for my mother to pick me up. I would head straight for the picture books on old horror movies ("The Blob", "Dracula", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" etc). I didn't start using that label for myself until college, but my stepmom had correctly identified me by the time I was thirteen (which led to me getting a most excellent copy of "Dracula" for my birthday).

I don't think I was born goth per se, but I agree with the idea of predisposition to certain personalities. Either that or it was my mom's influence - when I was really young (age 4), she was stationed in England and had me and my brother with her. On her days off, she'd take us around to all the castles and abbeys and collect rubbings off the gravestones. She's a goth at heart. :)

Jeeze... your mom was really cool... :D

Holy crap! That is some of the worst typing I have seen in a while!

And you want other people to "lern" to talk better?

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I think it was growing up in a creative yet abusive family of tortured artists
prone to melancholy and extreme states of joy...maybe that's why I am bi polar!
