It’s at a venue I’ve yet to go to so in case poo poo gets weird, I can’t run in demonias. I can in these boots.

Last show I wore them at, i moshed successfully however turns out men do not like dealing with ball crunchers in the pit! As they should, stay out!

Swedes don’t normally mosh too much, but the band playing was from loving upstate NY of all places, so unfortunately for them, I was absolutely in my element. “Tear poo poo up” say no more!

It was revenge for all the times I got sweaty headbanging hair in my mouth.

Fair play then, I was gonna say I have an xl cane long enough to wear mine and gently caress the haters but that’s a valid concern. I can run in mine only like 30m before my ankle fucks right off and that’s assuming no stairs

Is this flagged as "sensitive content" because orcas are now inherently terrifying to the rich or because some idiotic algorithm saw "NWS" and didn't parse it as New South Wales?

Excuse me ma'am but if Robert Smith Himself is able to wear sensible shoes onstage while performing with The Cure then I think anyone is allowed to wear new balances without losing gothness.

I'm 5'1 and the boot height arms race is making the problem worse

It is Very genre dependent whether people will be nice and let short girls go to the front. I've had dudes make a point of walking straight into me to get me out of their way, heads purposefully high to act like I don't exist

6'3" is already above the threshold where you realize the world isn't made for us. Looking like a nightmare would be one thing but getting around at that height would be worse.

I get my cane kicked out from under me all the time at venues, far less so when I’m towering. However I’m admittedly very conscious of the space I’m taking up

im still reeling at the idea that being fat ugly and having various skin conditions somehow stops you from wearing goth clothes instead of being necessary conditions. i think they might have gotten goths and scene kids confused

And finally, all the cool and fancy clothes with fun designs are XL at best

Hth

This is a little funny considering every time I go to goth weekend it's like 10% stunningly attractive people in very expensive and well put together outfits and 90% human factory rejects dressed in 90's hot topic factory rejects.

If you look weird you are an ideal fit for the goth look, because everyone looks weird, that's the best thing about it. The weirder you look the more you are winning at goth.

My only experience with goths was with the ones in high school who regularly spent more money than anyone else on their clothes/makeup with the explicit goal to look exactly the same as every other goth then talked poo poo about the jocks' and preps' conformity and materialism

I need to serious post for a second bc whether or not the clothes are new is deeply beside the point, in fact new clothes often look much worse bc of fast fashions race to the bottom on construction and fabric quality. If your ten year old clothing fits you well and goes well together then stay slaying

Hey now, I don't wear that every day! That's the nice stuff, it's reserved for really dressy formal occasions when the cargo shorts and hoodie wouldn't do.
