Second, women who go ham on makeup are embracing their femininity, and probably the not so good sides of it. (Overt seduction for the sake of their sole benefit through manipulation.) In a certain way, women who care about aesthetics like that show that they are good women in the sense that they care about how they look (standards) but take it to the next level and are signaling that they are not so good women because they can't help but dress in a way that indulges in their desire for male attention. In a certain way, there is a beautiful, grim honesty to it. Something that's "goth" embraces the cruelty of the world without being cruel in itself.
I think the main appeal goth girls have to internet guys is the fact that they're signaling their misery and it resonates in a man's soul. Even e-girls have a similar effect, a woman with an outrageous amounts of tats, non natural hair dye and make up says "I am the zeitgeist of our current, overstimulated world. I am chaos, covered in memes." There's still a woman to love underneath all of that stuff too, I sometimes wonder if these types of girls dress this way to thirst trap men and one who keeps themselves in frame and doesn't let her distractions get the best of him is rewarded with (psycho bitch) love. desu, kinda my type.
Finally, goth girls are as political as classical architecture.
>>440624443>nowadays the girl that looks like she just got home from church is playing with her pussy on only fans for money. ironically, the goth girl of today may be more based and wholesome than her strait laced counterpart.Maybe it's more in your face because everything is so polarized, but the memetic idea of something beautiful being ugly and something ugly being beautiful has existed probably since time immemorial. Lucifer is apparently a pretty boy, but he's the very definition of belligerent and rebellious.
