I followed the Sophie Lancaster case extensively, it was a terrible tragedy. Isn't "hug a goth day" a bit patronizing though? : I dunno, maybe I just have a stick in my ass, but it just seems to cheapen the message and feels very patronizing.

It's like when Columbine happened, that Friday it happened when I got home from school (it was one of those things you always remember where you were and what you were doing), I had gone to school that day in my trenchcoat, hostile, people didn't talk to me, I didn't talk to people, everyone thought I was nuts, etc.

Monday I come back, it's "oh hi!" with random hugs from people who, on Friday, laughed at me walking past and said shit like "why don't you just off yourself already?". A guy came up to me and gave me a candy bar in the lunchroom with, "are you okay? I want you to know you're appreciated". Knowing what he was up to, I bullied him and said, "gimme your sub too and we'll be cool."

Point is...I don't really feed into fad events caused by a tragedy, which almost serves to alienate said culture/group even further, and causes people to resent them more. Integration and tolerance shouldn't be forced, it should come from understanding, and usually arrives in small steps.

But like I said, I might just be a crab ass, so if that's the case, please inform me of such .

The trick is to hug yourself and then spend the rest of the day in creative self-loathing and isolationism. You know you're cool on the inside when on the outside you are all acid-bath!

The question should not be : "Do I need a hug?"

rather : "Do YOU need a hug...there's some razor wire that needs your loving 'attenzione' right over nyere...it would give me so much joy to see affection between human and metal"

Sauciness is saucy!

[torn asunder]

i have one thing to say to this whole "hug a goth" concept:

if you try!?

and if you complain about it!?

If hugging someone is patronizing than I'm a condescending asshole.

Big difference between hugging someone just because of the background they come from and hugging someone because you like them and/or want to, imo.

I used to hate hugging people, but I have been properly forced trained to auto-hug people. Some people I like hugging, like hot guys . *sigh*...I'm terrible .

[Joey Deadcat]

What about "Shake Hands With A Deathrocker Day"?

[~Tszura~]

I agree with Chernobyl on this. I read the article, and its f'ing sad. I prefer ass kicking to hugs on a day like today to pay respect to that poor girl.

Hugs. I spit on hugs today!! I rename this "Kick a bully's ass day!"

Douchebags beware!!! Haaaaay- Yaaaaaa!!!

[kat (1)]

Hugs and love everyone.

I don't know the background of this supposed holiday, I just enjoy hugs and was planning to exploit it just to hug people. Wasn't intended for just one specific type of person. I'm just a kid going candy crazy on Halloween at the moment.

That in no way tells me the background...

Rephrasing, I'm just using it as an excuse to hug anyone.
