Dark Attractions

[Subhumanoidal]

I wouldn't worry too much about being attracted to goths, as I understand it it's more of musicfandom/fashion thing. Witches are another matter, steer clear of them.

He is not attracted to them, they are attracted to him.
Also goths tend to focus on paganism 'white witchcraft', spells and rituals and the belief they can put curses on others. Hence the frequently seen up pointing pentagram they often wear. Nature worship, goddess worship and such things.
Not to mention some of them believing themselves to be vampires and will literally drink another's blood.
Most often they are a pretty passive group and you don't see a lot of violence from them.
Naturally depression is quite common with them, and depression causes people to act and think inwardly, not expressing their pain outwardly.
This is why self harm is more common in this subculture.
Some are also into dark things and that adds to the draw of it.
Many seem to feel empowered by the white magic side of it all. People that clearly feel powerless within themselves without it.
And, weirdly, heavier set girls seem drawn to white magic as well. Or even black magic.
And yes, I'm aware all magic is wrong and evil, but this is how they view it.

havent heard that before, but then again I really don't know a whole lot about the subject, the few I've known were pretty softcore. Though I can imagine there are more extreme ones out there.

I've kept my eye on some of the subcultures in the past. Being in the metal subculture opens you a bit to other subcultures.
Also having seen them in public or even working with them. And this was 30 years ago, I can only imagine what they're like now.

But, yeah, in any subculture there's always the ones deep into it, and some that dip their toe into it or think they know what it is to be part of that subculture but they're really just wannabes.
