I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.
For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.
For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!
Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

So… you sound like a nice dude, so just so you know, there are people in the goth subculture that do not appreciate that joke (and its translations). For different reasons, but the majority find it fetishizing and sexist. I opened saying you look like a nice dude because I don’t think that’s your intention, or the intention of most here commenting, but that’s how many goth people feel and… well, in case you really want to meet goth people, that might be actually causing the opposite effect (that is, your shirt driving them off).
Laundry day strikes again
Trending on reddit, comes on Lemmy to talk about it. I love it!
Thats funny In Brazil we say “gótica rabuda”, that means goth with a big ass
Eu gosto muito uma gótica rabuda rsrsrs
SPOILER: It’s the sleeping dude.
Just kidding!! Welcome to Lemmy.
Haven’t read all the comments here but I hope some are of welcome. This is a safe space for lovers of goth tiddies.
804 upvotes is epic in this land so all I can say is there’s your welcome.
I feel dirty any time I lose my spine and peek back at a favorite Reddit sub or two. It’s so gross now.
I’m still figuring this place out myself.
It’s a journey. Again: welcome.
have you talked to any goth lady after that, and do you have any intention on dating one? i think you have the courage and confidence to do so. you got this, dominic. we believe in you. seriously!
Im moving back home to ohio soon so im trying not to fall in love with anyone until then.
i really hope there are goth ladies in ohio (and a lot of people here can agree that there are). seriously!
They did not take a photo of you, they took a photo of that t-shirt. LOL
Au contraire! All I see is a beautiful mustache.
this is art lol
I’ll have what she’s having
A nap?
Hell yeah
I hate this “culture” (?) of recording/photographing strangers and posting them online, but on the other hand this is sooo funny. I’m sorry it happened to you lmao.
you could’ve just worn it inside out….
that said, me too buddy… except i just want a little tiddy goth gf….
honestly tiddy size doesn’t matter to me much, i feel like there’s too much focus big tiddy goth gf’s and the rest of the goth gf world is being ignored….
#allGothGFsAreAwesomeWhat I said to my ex (paraphrasing) “Yeah don’t get me wrong, I love big titties, but I’m more interested in the girl they’re attached to”
so romantic! :)
A romantic
Where’s the love for a big booty punk girlfriend, smdh.
You might want to look up “nalgótica” 😉. The reddit post taught me that term.
Oh hell yeah
Absolutely agree
I want a big booty Japanese girlfriend. Please, if there’s a God send a Japanese girl with a phat ass my way.
just go to japan, that’s where most japanese girls are
Alright, I’ll go as soon as I graduate.
You can have a big tiddy gf, or a goth gf but asking for both at once is being greedy.
Live a little!
I mean who doesn’t want a big tiddy goth gf?
Personally, I’m leaning towards the small tiddied goth gf. Big tiddies are impractical on many levels.
I’m a firm supporter of all goth girls of all body types, all of the time.
Vote for me for US President, I literally could not do any worse.
Me. I want two.
You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out
I honestly didn’t think about that. But I also didn’t think it was that big of a deal either.
It’s not a big deal. It’s silly and hilarious. Own it 😁
Oh yeah, I love it lol.
All good until you chafe your nipples.
ThatsThePoint.jpg
The point is to chafe your nipples?
To each their own I guess.
yes! i regularly wear a few of my shirts inside out because i dont like the designs on them.
doesn’t the print irritate your skin?
Donate them to charity? Get new ones at the thrift store?
Maybe they bought them at the thrift store or received them from charity, that’s why they didn’t like the design.
Don’t assume everyone just has disposable income to throw out perfectly good items.
Jesus, I hate the internet sometimes.
So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.
There’s no expectation of privacy in public places.
There’s no expectation of fairness in DMCA requests.
Greetings, Warner brothers lawyer.
That’s an opinion. I have portretrecht, you can’t just take pictures of me (or anyone) and post them.
Do you honestly not see the difference between sitting in a busy airport where a lot of people can see you but don’t really pay attention to you, as opposed to being featured on one of the largest websites as a top post specifically to discuss you?
expectation of privacy is American law
And Reddit is headquartered in America.
Did you get approached by any big tiddy goth girls?
They swarmed me.
do you have any intention on dating one? i think you have the courage and confidence to do so. you got this, dominic. we believe in you. seriously!
After a few weeks it got so out of hand that you actually had to change shirts!
Actually, i’m like Doug Funny, I only have one outfit…
LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.
Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.
Or just don’t give a fuck.
Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text “nothing says I love you quite like fisting”. Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read “I have 5 stars on youporn” with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I’ve ever heard. Most of the profs “loved” me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

Not the complement you think it is.
It wasn’t really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn’t giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don’t judge a book by its cover, I guess?
She could replace my right hand any day.
Yeah I didn’t think about that.
