Well, Josh, I have rather mixed feelings about your P.A.R.O.D.Y. Part of me is slightly amused and gave the site a slight chuckle (yes, a chuckle.) The other part of me rolled my eyes and let out an groan of annoyance.
As soon as I saw the site, I thought, 'Another silly site trying to get a laugh of parodying the stereotypical American fundamantalist Christian type, heh.' And you made it about parents scared that they have 'goth' children and tied it into Blair Witch, etc...Heheheh, slight chuckle.
Then I came to the explanation page and I read it; insert rolled eyes and annoyed groan.
As a grumpy old fart of the age of 7 to the seventh power who has spent/still spends a great deal of his life in the Gothic subculture/scene, and also became Christian some time during that great deal of his life of Goth trotting, I feel quite annoyed.
On that page, you explain that you are not 'anti-Goth' or 'anti-pagan' (though never explained whether or not 'anti-Christian'), and you make a slight effort to let the reader know that not all pagans and pagan faiths are not evil. You even give a sliver of history of how forms of paganism were around before 'Christianity' (Is this implying superiority of paganism with the reasoning that it was around longer?) and are still practised today. Included also are resources on the subject of witches...the end.
I respect that you explained that much as pagan beliefs and neo-pagan faiths are very often misunderstood by most people, but seems that the explanation page forgot to explain/defend the other subjects. We're left to assume that P.A.R.O.D.Y. is an accurate portrait of all Christ- following Christians and that Goths are moody, homicidal Vampiric teens who listen to Manson and are 'pansexual' and either worship Satan or are pagan?
Where's the sliver of history on Christianity and its roots in Judaism and prior? As well as information on Hinduism, Buddhism, Satanism...
What about an explanation of the fact that most self-respecting Goths wouldn't be caught dead listening to crap like Manson or Rammstein? Not even a bit of the scene's roots in Punk. Sure, in the page where you're promoting the Blair Witch Mix, Lydia Lunch, Bauhaus and Siouxsie's The Creatures are listed, but idiots don't know who the hell these bands are and most likely think they're just Manson-esque angry teenager music that talks about Satan and killing.
Josh, I'm fairly sure you're thinking, 'Wow, this grumpy old Gothic Christian fart is really anal and looking at this way too deep!' Well, if you are, you're right, I am anal...about everything. Why? Because if some type of information is on a public media, alla the Internet, the person responsible for the information had better make sure that people are getting the right information and all of the information as to not leave the reader with wrong assumptions. Leaving people to assume false information is what mass media is for.
If anything, I hope that you at least think about what I've written; or even, just read it, laugh if you must, whatever. And as I'm feeling like a much older fart for writing this, excuse me as I choke down Count Chocula, crank up Christian Death, don my black velvet coat and black leather Fluevogs as I prepare myself for church.
