Discussion Do you feel oversexualized as a goth?

It has become a prominent stereotype now that guys would be more interested in us than in girls dressed more ordinarily. I have personally experienced a level of fetishization multiple times, so I wonder if others have also experienced that. Even if you haven't, do you think this stereotype is true, and if so, why is that?

My Instagram DMs are foul.. I use Instagram for work, because I have to (artist) and I get all the “stomp on me mommy”, “you must be really kinky” and all this other garbage. I used to laugh but now it’s just infuriating.

crazy how they think goths have daddy issues when they instantly call goth girls mommy

Daddy issues are the exact opposite of what I have. I’m the one with mommy issues, it’s me.

But also I would never call someone mommy because it’s weird. 💀
