What's the fascination with tickling goth girls?

[Excess]

From what I've seen, a hell of a lot of people here seem to love goth girls. I'm just curious why? I don't think it'd be because they're attractive since, as far as I know, most goth girls don't try to be attractive. Quite the opposite, in fact, most tend to make themselves look less attractive. So why are they so desired to be tickled? Is it because they are supposed to be unhappy all the time, and therefor, seeing them laughing uncontrollably is better than seeing someone that's not a goth in the same situation?

This also brings up a popular (perhaps the most popular) character around here: Raven. Is she the essence of being a goth girl somehow? I think I've seen more pics done of her than of anyone else, and I know you'll all hate me for saying this ( not like I care, or I wouldn't be posting this, now would I? 😛 ), but I think she's been used more than enough already.

I'll toss out a theory. I'm guessing so many people like to see it because laughter is a fun contrast to the look we normally have. It's fun to see the lightheartedness of laughing when someone looks typically so dark. As for attractive, I think that's totally in the eye of the beholder. I actually like to think that I'm attractive. It's true that that's not my primary reason for being a goth, but I'm not actively trying to be unattractive. Maybe it's just a simple case of several people here just liking goths. *shrugs*

As for Raven... I think that is because she is so solemn all the time. That's just funny to see.

And I didn't get the impression, but I'd just like to make sure... this isn't some sort of dig at goths is it? 😛

Nope, no dig, just trying to understand it is all. I can see the "lightheartedness of laughing when someone looks typically so dark" part I guess. I suppose that could apply to Raven as well, though I don't think that would just be all of it. And I just think that she's overused, and am trying to understand why people around here love her so much.

As for the attractive part, I said most of them do, or atleast the ones that I've seen. Most goths are portraid as wearing alot of makeup, specifically black lipstick and eyeliner. I just don't find that really attractive, but that's just my opinion, and was interested in seeing other peoples.

Didn't think it was. n_n You seem a bit too mature for that. 😉 And I guess the attractive part is just a matter of who you've met. People are different like that. And Raven might be a bit overused at this point. *shrugs* But I guess as long as there are some people who still enjoy it, there's still a purpose in drawing it.

i find goth girls attractive. the clothes they wear, the stle of hair, the attitude, not to mention, wearing boots most the time, you know they're feet has to be very ticklish. so yes, goth girls are very beautiful.

 

[Violetta]

Hehe. Why thank you, Norm. 😉 Looks like you've got us all figured out there. >_> *casually tightens up her boots*

Well I'd hope so! :laughing:

And all I know is that I've lost count of how many Raven pics I've seen, but if I had to guess, I'd say about 13-17.

I'd go with that. Also, most of the goths I've met, despite the stereotypes, have actually been fun, interesting people, and they don't seem to mind tickling, so if they don't mind, it's all good.
Also, one thing I like is that a lot of them tend to wear really interesting and cute socks or stockings under said boots, which always make things fun. 😀

I like the goth look for the same reason. Also I like the fishnet, and stripped stalkings.

 

[Excess]

OF COURSE!!! Damnit, I should've known that the stockings would have alot to do with it.

It seems I'm in the minority in almost every way. :sad:

I don't know, guess you guys are just weird.

Or maybe you can't draw an idea from an thought?

*clicks my remote control boot remover*

not only do they look good, but most, if not all the goths i met are great, friendly people. we share the same interests. i was in the goth crowd in high school, good friends they were.

Really? Cuz that's quite different than how goths are portrayed. I've never really seen an attractive goth girl, but I guess that's just my personal taste.

everyone's taste is different. for example. i find people like Pamela Anderson, and women who use plastic surgery, extensive make up, etc. to make themselves look "beautiful" very unattractive. basically they look like hookers. i like the look of goths and "girl next door" types. not massive makeup, plastic surgery, or botox.

I agree with you there.

But maybe I've just seen all the ugly ones (except for certain girls here in art 😉), or I just don't find them attractive while looking like a goth.

*waits for those certain girls to read that part and be creeped out at me*

 

[Violetta]

Doesn't sound creepy to me...

And Norm! Put that remote away! 😛

*keeps remote from Sammi and continues clicking buttons*


i've never seen a pic of you, Sammi, but if you look like that pic that Snail drew, you look gorgeous, if i may say so.

your not strange, excess, everyone has their tastes in women/men. i don't like hooker-look-alikes or whatever the term is, and you don't find goths attravtive. it's the way of the universe, man.

 

[Violetta]

*boots fall off* Oookay. This might should be taken to a different thread if this is going where I think. >_>

And thank you muches Norm. n_n And I'd like to think Snail's likeness of me is pretty close to the real thing.

Uhh, thanks, but I didn't mean that I thought I was strange, I was just joking.

I heard boots fall off!

And if that's true, then I take back my comment about never seeing a goth girl I've found attractive (though I still technically havn't, but close enough).

*tosses the remote through time and space into the official tickling thread for future use*

did he see a pic of you to draw it?

 

[Violetta]

Excess, thankees. n_n It means a lot to me to hear stuff like that.

Oddly enough, he didn't see a pic of me until after his was drawn. He did that from a description. 😵

amazing 😀 was he close in his drawing?

sorry, excess, didn't mean to imply you were strange, just trying to be supportive.

 

[Violetta]

Surprisingly close, I think. 😵
