Over at Clit-Orations, Nikki Nines writes a long — but most excellent — piece about the mistaken perceptions about what Gothic is, and how that relates to BDSM:
Gothic isn’t all dark pessimism; like the architecture, the true philosophy of “Gothic” reaches for the heavens.
…When those self-described Gothic persons only see or believe in “darkness” and “gloom” without reaching, without romance, they’ve made it as base as fucking.
…When people forget to reach for (let alone acknowledge) the light, they miss the beauty. But I thrill at such purpose of discovery.
