I saw this on PBS, and I thought it would be interesting to show you guys...
Russia seems to have some weird thing against emo and goth as they are making a law to ban dressing this way in public. Well honestly this law seems really kind of weird/funny to me, they are banning two stereotypes here, but honestly how strict are they going to be enforcing these stereotypes? Like if someone wore a studded anything will they automatically assume they are emo/goth and arrest them? This law is going to be in place because Russia thinks that this dress is associated with depression, but the way they are banning this is making me think that Russia thinks that their dress is the cause of the depression. Well truthfully if you force a depressed kid to change how he dresses won't that make him more DEPRESSED?
They are trying to fix the problem, but in the end they are only making the problem worse.
What is your opinion on this?
