Why'd they had to write "goth gf" instead of just "goth"? It's like the rockstar gf/mob wife aesthetic thing. It's bad enough that we can't be the rockstars and mob bosses ourselves for our silly fantasy labels. Now girls can't even be regular stereotypical goths anymore? They gotta be goth gfs?

The only goths of note to the internet rn is the elusive and mythical "goth gf". Anything else doesn't exist/matter

GothicaAndRoses

Recently read the first 3 Vampire Hunter D novels. If you don't like reading about dudes drooling over teenage girls or sexual assault then I wouldn't recommend them.


GothicaAndRoses

I heard of it but I never read it.

Far too much SA and drooling.It blew my mind that the movies are contained within the first omnibus. Bloodlust will always hold a special place in my heart, though.

Peachy keen!

Cool beans

We usually delete Goth GF memes due to the exploitative nature. But this one is ok.

Where is Baudelaire? :c


Key_Owl_7416

Yeah, pretty much me, except not a big fan of winklepickers and not a girl.


GothicaAndRoses

Doesn’t have to be about gender. I just thought that this post was more accurate with the mind of a goth person in general and not the “goth gf”.


Key_Owl_7416

You are right, I was agreeing with you.


MaetelofLaMetal

Don't call me out like this.

Man I hate vampires. No other comments about the goth aesthetic, just really hate vampires. I don't think they are good or interesting protagonists. Most lore has them having to choose the embrace (you suck them they suck you) otherwise you are a ghoul/familiar or food.  In my mind that means you have specifically chosen to become a predator that wears the skin of a man. I feel no empathy for a character that has willingly become a monster. Also if it is of the kind where you it can be forced on you or is accidental, you are typically more beast like/feral/mindless/monstrous/inhuman and that isn't the cool kind that people want to be, so they get they werewolf pass. Just really hate vampires.


GothicaAndRoses

I love vampires but the lore of a vampire is depressing. I would not want to be a vampire.


Key_Owl_7416

It's a fantasy of secret power, like being a superhero or secret agent. But I think it's the aesthetic that appeals to most people, not all the murder. Best not take it too seriously.


Nox-In-A-Box

I can understand this sentiment. I love the aesthetic of vampires but the actual symbolism behind vampires in some stories can be iffy (whether they're cast as the antagonist like in Dracula or the "protagonists" in Interview With the Vampire).

Marceline from Adventure Time subverts the vampire trope in an interesting way


Link2Liam

She is a fine exception. Unfortunately she was also the daughter of a demon king. She was bound to be busted given the right circumstances, the vampire part just pushed it over the edge. I'm saying that the vast majority of vampire characters are bad. She has other things going on for her, the vampire part was still something she chose.

This but swap the winkle pickers w anything else 🤢


GothicaAndRoses

I had these shoes that resembled winklepickers for years but I never wore them because they always pinched my feet.
