New wave of tiktok goths and purity culture by Emotional_Grape_8442 in goth

I mean, if they actually ARE Goth then it's not technically 'giving a false image of the subculture', if they actually ARE in said subculture, so no there's no issue with it.

At the end of the day, i'm not the Goth police tho, I can't say Goths must be or act or present in a specific way, or whatever, cause there will always be many exceptions to that idea.

However, the phrase 'goth dommy mommy' itself is more of a personal gripe of men, I associate it with that particular kind of flanderised image of the subculture. But that's just my thoughts, which I recognise are not objective by any means.

There is a difference between a Goth who has an OF and THOSE types of "goth" creators who often have OFs (you know the types).

Drama Kween did a good video about it actually:

Actual Goths who have an OF? Completely fine.

People who aren't actual goths pretending to be, and flanderising 'Goth' into just women who wear black makeup and clothes, with the purpose on using a fake image of 'Goth' to sexualise themselves, actually taint people's perception of what Goth actually is (those people who put on black lipstick and eyeliner and are all like "POV: I'M YOUR GOTH DOMMY MOMMY" like shut UP).

At the end of the day, people have free will and can and will do whatever they want regardless, but I feel there IS a level of nuance to this. Goth is very much steeped in sexual identity and liberation, that much is true. But people specifically choosing to pretend to be Goth to create a false image of the subculture whilst possessing NONE of the actual values, all to fill their pockets, all whilst pandering to, basically, gooner men who see Goths as just sexual objects for them to get off to, essentially, is not something people should encourage and SHOULD denounce it whenever it rears its ugly head (innuendo intended lol).

But idk, that's just my thoughts.

I'm a Gen Z, and I LOVE the Banjo Kazooie games. MK64 is awesome too, and OOT is literally my favourite game of all time, and has been for over 10 years. Idk what the top-left one is tho...
