Apparently the Goth subreddit is run by woke Karens these days.

Oh - I'm banned from the The Cure subreddit too 😆

Seems like wherever I go (especially on Reddit) it's just leftists everywhere.

I don't know why it took me so long to search for this subreddit. I guess I just assumed it didn't exist.

Anyway, this is the post that got me banned from the Goth subreddit (please bear with me):

"Okay, so I've been thinking about this for a while....

(Just for context I should add that I've loved The Cure since I was 7 and I'm now 40, so nothing I'm about to say comes lightly. I don't like saying it either. Also, it can't be said in the The Cure sub Reddit because.....you just can't talk to the Cure fans over there about this sort of thing, they don't take it well).

So here it is....

Does anyone else wonder sometimes if Robert has...well....lost his edge?

It's been during the last 6 years that I've really been noticing it fall off a cliff.

This happens a lot to musicians in their 60s. They can be legendary, iconic......they last for decades, no sign of fading away or slowing down. They set the rules, no one owns them/tells them what to do. They don't follow fashions or trends. They a are truly something different. Absolute rebels.

Then something odd happens when they start getting well into their 60s.

They go woke & soft - start collaborating with or endorsing........really pro-establishment, pro-regime types of people. Absolute cringe. I mean MORE than just a bit mainstream. I mean the posing-for-photos-with-Biden types. I mean the chummy-with-Fauci-and-pushing-the-vaccine types.

I mean people like Olivia Rodrigo.

Doesn't anyone else think it's seriously weird? I can't imagine a younger Robert having anything to do with someone from f*cking High School Musical.

I mean just think about it, it's ridiculous.

He says she " calls him up quite a bit and they talk about clothes and fashion". Like they're girlfriends or something. I wonder what Mary thinks.

Honestly, I thought something was off when that singer from Churches was suddenly all over Robert's twitter/X timeline.

That time she managed to make his birthday all about promoting herself.

Then he did that weird BBC interview and just let the two presenters interrupt and talk over him the whole time - about themselves.

Something definitely isn't right.

Some of you might get annoyed with me for posting this, but I'm sorry - I can't just pretend everything's fine anymore."

If you read all that, thank you for your patience!

The crazy thing is, it wasn't what I said about Robert that got me in trouble.....

it was what I said about the COVID vaccine.

Their defensiveness of the vaccine, Fauci and even Rodrigo completely eclipsed any interest they had in defending Robert Smith.

That's on a GOTH subreddit.

This is what I mean when I say it's everywhere you f**king go - leftism or wokeism (they're the same thing really), just wearing a different costume.

Okay, so I've been thinking about this for a while....
