People were offended by this stereotype and stood up for themselves. Who are you to discount this?

How did "Someone made a joke about the group I feel I belong to in a small text box of an ad which practically noone will ever read! I'm going to write a letter and you all should, too!" become a "standing up against oppression" type thing which should be admired by all of us who do not have the courage to fight the establishment, or something?

Someone is clearly lacking in perspective.

But this one's nice:

i think goth often gets a bad rap in the mainstream media

I'd like to hear a bad rap about Goths, please!
