i cant stand how nobody can get gerrys design right. They say hes goth, then draw him as anything BUT goth. Also everyone saying hes not goth in protocol because hes not as sad hows it feel to be reenforcing the stereotype that all alternative people are depressed?
*this came out sounding like i'm a lot more angry then i am, its really not that deep to me its just annoying
tbh yeah, i feel like people draw him more as a stereotypical metalhead rather than a goth. i’m not goth myself, so my take on that doesn’t really matter, but it does feel weird to see people caption drawings of just a vaguely alt dude with “my favourite goth <3” as someone who is currently best friends with and used to date a goth.
when it comes to the tmagp thing, i don’t really care. i do find it weird that people heard that gerry was happy, and immediately jumped to “oh so he’s not alt anymore”, but i guess people can have whatever designs they want? but they should be more careful about enforcing stereotypes and whatnot.
