Welcome fellow Gaian Goths!
I'm Ralo btw, so feel free to call me that. emotion_yatta

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and here we are now.
So this is just gonna be a regular hangout thread. You don't need to only post about goth related things but it's for sure encouraged that you share any gothy delights with us here if you like.
Feel free to have casual conversation here and maybe we can all make some new friends!

I'd like to keep this a safe and chill space so there will be a few rules listed below. Maybe in the future I will do more here, perhaps hold activities, get some nice graphics and so on. In the meantime, lets just see where this all goes. Have fun fellow bats! <3

To clarify, this is going to be a chill and comfy space for like minded individuals. You don't need to jump through any hoops to be here or to be goth in general. We will not be doing "this is goth and this isn't goth" here. Most of us already know how things are and are sick of hearing all the childish griping. Most of us are old and mature enough to know better by now anyways. If you simply like and enjoy the subculture, you are one of us!

You don't have to do anything other than that. That's all there is to it. It's understandable that not everyone is able to afford the clothes, or have the means to go to clubs in all that and it doesn't make us any lesser than anyone else. All that matters is we all are part of this subculture simply by having similar interests and mindsets.

This can also be a space for other alternative fashion groups too such as punk and emo as a lot of us alternatives tend to go hand in hand. We can all have different opinions, different fancies, and don't have to agree on everything but key thing is, we are respectful, understanding and accepting towards one another. Us alternative folk need to stick together after all. '_~

So lets just let this be a nice chill space for us all to hang out, share interests, shoot the s**t and so on. Tell us about your day, your dreams, whatever the hell. And feel free to bump!

Note:
I do not plan on making a Discord Server for this thread. Everything is already on Discord and I like having this thread just as it is. It's nostalgic and I like the simpler aspect to it.

- Follow Gaia TOS.
- Be respectful.
- No goth hate/infighting.
- Keep controversial topics out of here, ie religion and politics.
- This is not a place for RP.
- No drama.
- When it comes to venting, pace yourself and do not continually unload nonstop to where it brings others down.
(We feel for you but we aren't professionals here.)
- If there's any trolls pls just ignore them. (I will block them and delete their posts asap.)
- No mules. Posts by mule accounts will be deleted and possibly blocked due to stalkers.
- For the love of ********, don't even start with the 'goth gf' memes or 'be my goth mommy' crap. It's creepy and wont be tolerated here.

I love the last one. As a member of the Big Titty Committee, those jokes get kinda old after a while.

Yeah some of us like em while others are bitter butts like me and get tired of the same old tired memes esp when it can get creepy and annoying after a while.

[vdszbz]

yesss! would love to meet some fellow alt people.

the goth gf memes annoy me too, especially since it's always posted by the people who would bully me and others in high school because we dressed "goth". you say you want a goth gf but, my brother in christ, you bullied us all in high school.

It also just boxes us into a stereotype.

Same. I always love seeing fellow goths / alternative ppl. It makes me smile and giddy haha. If only I weren't too shy in person I'd approach them when I see them on rare occasions. Yeah those that usually say it just do because they see us as something of an "accessory". It's gross. I actually knew someone like that. >_>

Yeah it does and it's the fetishising of us where they just see us as objects. Oh man I could go on a whole a** rant about how even just I've personally experienced stuff like that but I'd rather not rn. Just trying to chill for the moment. -o-
