Oh for the love of puppies. ;_; NOT all "emos" cut themselves! And not all people that CUT are "emos"! If you're going to go around using that term at LEAST know THAT one simple fact. >.<

Now, I do agree with the 'it's wrong to stariotype'. It always has been wrong. People should start to think before they say something like that, but really, I don't think that'll ever happen. Most people just wouldn't take the step to stop doing that. ;_; And I've seen a lot of people that have "fun" making fun of people they deem "emo". Unfair and stupid. But unless mods are on more and start warning/banning people for that, which I've never seen them do for the past forever... Yah know.

Pshaww yes ! =D That was exactly what I was thinking...and that's how I feel as well.

Something that frequently comes to mind when people are calling someone emo and making fun of them...Is this :

"Don't you understand that it hurts?"

I've never gotten an answer to that question because whenever they do it to me, I'm too scared to ask why. Why am I scared? Because I know I won't get a pleasant answer.

Although, I feel alot more confident to speak up for myself and others here...That's most likely because I can't see their expression. Nonetheless, it still hurts to be bullied online.

yes. This "Are you emo?!" is starting to get on my nerves. Why do they cut themselves anyway?

Ok, they don't cut them selves because i don't and im Emo, and it doesn't "feel good" some poeple do it because they are depressed and anyone could do it.. And this was not the point of this topic anyway. STOP GOING OFF TOPIC!
sorry, for going off topic :oops:

Right. This topic is NOT about Emo's. It's about the steriotype given to them on the Shoutbox. Incase any of you actually READ the topic.
Infact, it's not even soley about Emo's!
We aren't discussing why people cut themselves. So, please read the first post at least.
The topic is about, when somebody comes on the shoutbox, and links to a photo of themselves, or music they like. And they immediatley get labelled.
It can HURT people , and they can take it offensivley.
Do I have to type this twice? :roll:

Agreed. Get back on topic, please.

and racist.

Technically, emo's are not a race, so I believe that one is a bit uncalled for.

However, I know a lot of "emo's" myself, and I know some of them are very cool and fun to hang around with. Not everyone are apocalyptic messengers of their own self-suffering, and even fewer harm themselves.

The whole conception of "emo" is stereotypical that they harm themselves and are filled with self-grief because they can't live normal lives - which is NOT HOW IT IS IN REALITY!

....you know. Those of you who call yourselves "emo" but aren't "emotional" meaning you don't "cry" over "stuff" and don't "cut" yourselves to feel "alive," need to come up with a new label for yourselves. Because its confusing and its making everyone angry. Everyone hates emos and your "I'M EMO BUT I'M NOT EMO CUZ I LOOK SORTA SKATER-PUNK-ROCK-AND-KINDA-SORTA-GOTHIC BUT I DON'T CUT MYSELF" shenanigans only make them classify you as such.

People stereotype.

You look the part.

People are gonna consider you an emo.

You deal with it.

Stop whining.

Or change your label.

SOMETHING!

Call yourselves Hot Topic Junkies or something. I don't care. But "emo" is not a generally "positive" label. So I HIGHLY suggest not calling yourselves that. It gives off that you have very low self esteem and people will not wonder why. Its sad, but its true 83

And no, I'm not being mean to you people. You BSers aren't the only people who need to know that, trust me. XD

There should be a sub category for people who compose self-harm on him/her self from the style of having hair over the right side of the face and wearing black...I mean, they could be goth for all we know.
