Goths and femboys are oversexualised

The sexualization of goths, like many subcultures, can be traced to a combination of societal perceptions, media portrayals, and the nature of the goth aesthetic itself. Here are a few reasons why goths might be sexualized:

1. The "Rebellion" Element

Goth subculture, which emerged in the early 1980s, is often seen as a rebellion against mainstream culture. This includes rejecting societal norms about appearance, fashion, and behavior. The defiance of norms—especially around clothing (like dark, revealing, or unconventional outfits)—can be interpreted by some as an invitation to objectify or sexualize members of the subculture.

2. Dark, Sensual Aesthetic

The goth aesthetic often leans heavily into dark, sensual, and sometimes erotic imagery—think corsets, leather, fishnets, and dramatic makeup. This visual style can be provocative or "otherworldly," creating a certain mystique that some find alluring. The juxtaposition of innocence with dark, often moody aesthetics can be interpreted as seductive or provocative.

3. Influence of Media & Pop Culture

Media has a tendency to portray subcultures in sensationalized ways. Gothic characters in movies, TV shows, and music videos are often depicted as mysterious, seductive, or dangerous. Think of characters like Morticia Addams, or goth-inspired figures in films like The Crow. These portrayals can reinforce a sexualized or fantasy-driven image of goth culture, even though that isn't necessarily the intent of those within the community.

4. The Association with "Taboo"

The goth scene has long been associated with themes of death, the occult, and the macabre—topics that can be linked to taboo or transgressive desires. For some, this association can heighten the sexual intrigue around goths because "taboo" can be enticing or exciting for certain people. This ties into the broader cultural trend of sexualizing things that are considered “forbidden” or “other.”

5. Fashion as Self-Expression

For many goths, their appearance and fashion choices are about self-expression and embracing an identity that isn't dependent on societal beauty standards. However, to outsiders who may not fully understand the subculture, goth fashion can be misunderstood as "theatrical" or overly sexual, especially when it involves revealing clothing or alternative body adornment.

6. Misinterpretation of Power and Confidence

Goths, especially those who embrace their subculture wholeheartedly, can exude a sense of confidence and individuality. This can sometimes be misinterpreted as sexuality, especially by people who view confidence as inherently attractive or sexual. The idea that goths are “mysterious” or “different” can fuel this interpretation.

7. Sexualization in Subcultures

In many subcultures, from punk to metal to goth, there’s often a tendency to blend rebellion with desire. Subcultures can have an underground, transgressive, and alternative feel that, by nature, can make them seem more sexually charged or taboo. It’s about pushing boundaries—both visually and conceptually.

8. Aesthetic Attraction

There’s also a more simple and direct reason: some people are just genuinely attracted to the goth aesthetic. People are drawn to various forms of beauty, and for some, the gothic style with its heavy eyeliner, pale skin, and dramatic contrasts can be very appealing. This, combined with the subculture’s general air of mystery, can sometimes lead to the perception that goths are inherently sexual.

In short, it's a mix of cultural perception, media portrayal, and the allure of breaking boundaries. Not every goth embraces this or agrees with it, though, and many members of the goth community focus more on the music, art, and personal expression that the subculture fosters rather than on being sexualized.

if you want an answer:

1. Goths are good at makeup --> they look pretty
2. Being goth has become synonymous with voluptuous bodies (bc of viral posts and social media), even though it has nothing to do with the goth identity.
3. men are creeps who will sexualise anything
