Hot Topic - Page 25

You really should be the voice of reason more often; it makes me want to pounce on and then huggle you...even more than I usually do

maggot · 05-28-2006, 09:13 PM

Heheh, I wore some of those Illig shorts today.

I feel dumb for it

But they're so comfy and breezy!

Yeah that's great Jillian, but had no impact on the arguement. The point of the issue had to do with her generalization and judgement not with who is allowed to shop where for any reason. She pushed everyone one who disapproves of HT into her two ridiculous groups when as you've stated, there are plenty of other reasons people don't shop there. For me, it's price and quality, I hate any specialty store which over prices their shit especially when the quality of the product is lacking.... for you it seems you chose to wear more normal clothing..

I have no issues with anyone who does choose to shop there, I just don't want to be TOLD I do.

You made a vaild statement, but in a way it's misplaced and not quite "the voice of reason".

And Magz, you can lick me anytime baby.. *rawr*

Well said, Jillian.

I look forward to witnessing this phenomenon of "Hot Topic Gawths" on my visit to America. It'll be quite the uh... learning experience, I guess.

Godslayer Jillian · 05-28-2006, 09:44 PM

Oh, I wasn't quite replying to Somber Illusions so much as making a statement for future arguments about hating Hot Topic or not.
But, on the subject Somber Illusions has placed, I just have to say that:
So, you have just placed everyone that DOESN'T shop at Hot Topic as "poseurs"? Where's the sense in that?

Godslayer Jillian · 05-28-2006, 09:45 PM

And Cicero, if you come to America, come and visit me to El Paso, Texas.
You know you want to

Cicero · 05-28-2006, 10:12 PM

An invitation I would love to accept, but how close is Texas to Alaska?

Ah well, I'll be visiting Texas eventually. I have many people to visit there, and now I have one more!

But there wasn't an arguement about hating Hot Topic.. it was about taking accountability for her judgemental comments.. but whatever silly boy, have your moment.

But yes, you get my point with the latter half of your statement.. the entire post went from mediocre acceptable scrutiny to an astoundingly hypercritical accusation.

Besides, I can't stand long winded self serving sermons... especially about what or who is or isn't goth.. I don't fucking care, I had enough of that shit with Arc and I praise all that is holy that that asshole is long deceased.

Godslayer Jillian · 05-28-2006, 10:28 PM

I think there's still something that's not clicking between us. My post wasn't about Somber Illusions. It was kind of a statement for the Hot Topic overall thread.

Sanctus Dei · 05-28-2006, 10:56 PM

I see, I suppose had you not sounded as though your comment was intended for us directly, (aka: "People, it's easy"... which was only two posts after the close of the arguement) plus had you not said, "future arguments" in your responding post.. then I wouldn't have been under the assumption that your entire post was in response to our non related tiff. Perhaps next time you should be sure to state whom your opinion is directed at when it contains as many personal ideals as your original response did.

Godslayer Jillian · 05-28-2006, 11:15 PM

Point taken. Now, to seal the piece of advice, may I ask for a kiss?

Sanctus Dei · 05-29-2006, 03:11 AM

Why ask? You know your welcome to one anytime doll...

Draconysius · 05-29-2006, 06:55 AM

Hmm... It would seem the little smartass hasn't anything to say of your response, Sanctus; nice work.

I enjoy shopping in HT occasionally, but my chief complaint is the overpricing of every item there. It is sometimes, however, the only place I can get the kind of clothing I'm seeking. Last Saturday I purchased a pair of long, black and white-striped socks there that I'm certain I would have a difficult time finding elsewhere. I couldn't be enjoying them more, by the way; I'm showing them to just about everyone I meet.

Hot Topic is a decent department store. They're just like any other clothing store chain, except that they sell one specific style of clothing. I haven't any grudge against anyone who wears clothing from there, even against someone whose entire wardrobe is from there. My only complaints would arise if that person believes he or she is 'gothic' because of their attire.

An Eccentric Cellist · 05-29-2006, 10:00 AM

Draconysius, if you have a local Target you should be able to buy long black-and-white striped socks for cheap and in decent quality. There also should be a multitude of colors.

Does that mean you hate yourself?

*slaps forehead* Oh but of course it does. Self-hatred is the ultimate accessory for gawths. Any kid who doesn't hate themselves is not gawth and will be laughed at by all the cool gawths. Parental hatred optional, but recommended.

Bleh.

Not all of us would change something. I'm quite content with my figure/looks or whatever you'd like to call them.

*claps for Sanctus* I see I missed some drama but this thread always drags it up. To me, Hot Topic is just another store I can't afford and wouldn't buy clothes at even if I could. *hugs ebay* Ebay is so awesome or at least I think so. I just got a wonderful shirt there for a whopping 1.04. ^^

Sanctus Dei · 05-31-2006, 11:23 PM

I love you winged... come home more often...

winged_dreams · 05-31-2006, 11:36 PM

I'll try. I just get distracted. I blame Neopets, my wonderful addiction.

I agree whole heartedly. Ebay is a great place to do one's shopping, for everything really. (I'm getting a violin for my birthday from Ebay.) -hugs the Ebay as well-

winged_dreams · 06-03-2006, 08:56 PM

Yeah, I hate dealing with salespeople.

I don't really mind Hot Topic clothes but they just scream I'm a whiny little kid whose parents don't let me stay out until 1 am. My life sucks. So I would never wear them. If I was to were Hot Topic clothes (I have a pair of plain black long shorts) I want those clothes to look like they didn't come from Hot Topic. Perhaps I'm too picky.

Somber Illusions · 06-04-2006, 07:30 AM

Sanctus, you seriously need to work on your tone in the posts, I'm starting to think you're a bitch.

But thats just my opinion.
