So, Ive been thinking about researching this issue and just started today. A few months ago, I started buying clothes online, cause, lets face it- when you live in Norway, you also happen to live in a country Where alternative clothes are hard to get. The only alternative stores Im aware of in Town is Neseblod records, which is a metal shop, and Shadowland. Whereas Ive been to Neseblod, Ive never been to Shadowland. So far, most of what Ive bought has been online(Dreslilly and Wish). The thing is, however, I want to ask these stores Where they get their material from, and after today, I feel like I have become a bit more conscious about ethical trade. I agree with goths on the issue that goth isnt just a fashion statement, yet, I also agree even more that this seems to be an ethical issue. I havent looked at enough research as of yet, but it still seems obvious to me that consumers have a responsibility not to buy from brands that are cruel to animals, might be at risk of endangering the environment, or violate workers rights and childrens rights.

So lately Ive been looking at brands such as Dreslilly, Gothbb, Deadlygirl, Beelemental, and clothes at Wish. I like the stuff, and especially I have a few dresses in victorian style that I like very much. Yet, the thing is. I started thinking about this https://www.voguebusiness.com/fashion/the-global-fur-trade-relies-on-china-is-the-mood-shifting And, well, animal rights in China and too many places around the world is messed up, to say the least. Should I avoid these brands or not? Some dresses have leather material, f ex.

Thats pretty much my perspective, too. I think some people are too obsessed with poseurs or 'poseurs' Where it doesnt exoist. I also think some people blow this whole elitism out of proportions. I get it that some people are not too found about goth YouTubers and the whole haul- thing, but arguing over it all the time gets boring eventually. And, yes, when people call themselves goth and than they cite an emotional hardcore- band as reference. I do understand that some goths can find it a bit of upsetting when they constantly have to explain this misconception, given that goth tends to be misunderstood as a subculture. Theres nothing wrong with being goth, theres nothing wrong with trying to learn more about the subculture, theres nothing wrong with liking Evanescence or pop music. Its just that pop music doesnt belong under the goth umbrella, unless we are talking about synth pop

Do you self identify more as Dark alternative or goth?

Pros: For me its a great way to connect with people across the globe share music and interests etc. Cons: you get censored over trivial stuff, you land in Facebook- jail for posting nude photos of perfectly consenting adult women, and people create drama over trivial shit. Plus, I find it puzzling how heavy the censorship is on YouTube. Like, why do they have to put on adversary on a Candlemass video because they have nude photos in it?

Im here, if you need to talk ❤️

I see Where you are coming from, and that is def not easy. I was picked on, growing up, like many others. I oftentimes felt bullied, allthough Im not really sure to what extent. I think a lot of people related to this image of the kids that fought back, because bullying is absolutely horrible

Oh, and people are occasionally trying to pick on me online, because I have my own opinions, and because Im half arab. Yeah, some people are kind of racist. But Im good at shutting them up, and I wont be ashamed over something I have no control over

I was probably bullied, but I also bullied other people, so Im not inherently innocent. I used to be picked on for - physical appearance - slut shaming. - How I walked. Also, occasionally harassed wo it being bullying. I dont even remember what I bullied other people with. I bullied one person because I thought She liked me, and I didnt like her. Bullying is not cool in any shape or form.

Ive been doing lots of reading up on the Columbine shooting. Fascinating, but, yeah, Dylan clearly needed help. Ive also read A Mothers reckoning, which is her memoir and different interviews here and there. Shes incredibly brave ❤️

TV series: A ghost story for christmas. List to be found at Wikipedia

I dont really believe in ghosts and all that stuff(there tends to be a rational explanation for that kind of stuff). But I find that ghost stories give me a sense of calm and relaxation.

But, truth be told, I got myself some time out. So, it was worth it.
