My guard goes up when I find a site that insists upon its harmless content. Trying to make light of lifestyles like the Goths is, of course, your business, but I for one see the consequences of their harmless, devil-may-care (forgive the pun) lifestyle and attitude.
I have taught school in 4 decades and I have yet to find a follower of the ‘goth’ way who was happy or well-adjusted. They are very sad, bleak people. Many I have known have ended up dead from suicide, in mental health care or in jail.
I don’t necessarily blame a lifestyle for these poor soul’s troubles. We all have free will and make choices. No one holds a gun to someone’s head and makes them behave in a certain way, but glorifying or explaining away mentalities and attitudes that promote self-destructive, alienating behavior seems reckless at best and irresponsible at worst.
I don’t think those that will live the rest of their lives with the consequences of a ‘goth’ lark like Colombine would find anything amusing or witty in this site. It is hurtful and insensitive.
