I mean, if someone shows up to a goth party in chainmail, they’d probably still fit the vibe?
Was gonna say, every single one of the Goth kids I grew up around would have absolutely loved that.
Most people don’t understand the difference between Visigoth and gothic. It leads to an interesting “goth” scene.
Yeah, there would be no disconnect here, goth subculture is pretty broad and in any case it’s super inclusive and just fun as shit. They would get a kick out of this.
Can verify — I’m quite fond of wearing chainmail belted with an under bust corset. I always feel like I’m a celebrity or something when I wear it
When you get accused of “Vandalism” despite never having participated in a single raid against the Roman frontier
And you’re not even a Vandal.
Visigoth, Vandal, what’s the difference? They still can’t speak proper latin. Every time they open their mouths, all I hear is “Barbar, barbarbar!”
Visi goths? Why the past tense?

Didn’t the Germanic tribes fight largely without armor, or very little? A lot of them were shirtless, unless I’m confusing someone. But they also died easily. Weird.
Early Germanic tribes fought largely without armor, but in the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries AD, increasingly fought armored.
I would. Goths, Suevi, Vandals, Huns, Avar, Bulgar - all welcome
