Hot Topic Clothing Stores Infected My Girl With The Harlotry

Today my heart was filled with great sorrow and I am so very livid, as a clothing store named Hot Topic has infected my baby girl with the evil spirit of emulating a harlot.

This all started last weekend, when my precious little girl was visiting home from college asked if she could borrow the car to pick up some of her old friends and go shopping at the mall. Thinking they were going to a fine, upstanding clothing store such as Talbot or Macy’s, I was very happy to lend her my car and of course give her my credit card so she could stock up on a new wardrobe.

As I was taking her to the airport the next day, she remembered to give me my credit card back and I asked her what neat sorts of outfits she managed to find. “Good, tasteful stuff, Dad”, my little blonde angel said.


One of the many shocking Dirty Shirty pictures that cast my heart into a parental rage

It’s also important to understand that this is not the first time Satan has tried to seduce my girl into improperly showing off her body. Some time ago, the sodomites at a tshirt company named Dirty Shirty beguiled my little girl into becoming a tshirt model for them, which after I found out I immediately flew out to her school in California, burned all the immoral merchandise with which they lured her and then properly gave them all a piece of my mind. I thought there was closure to all this, but not at all.

After the grievous pains my heart was forced to endure, I thought I’d never again see anything worse than those Dirty Shirty tshirts adorning my daughter. But such was not the case.

When getting back home from the airport, I found my wife visibly upset. I went to see what was wrong, thinking perhaps she had burned supper or even worse the apple pie I had instructed her to make for dessert.

But no, she had found receipts and one sack that my daughter forgot to pack up. In it was a very immoral black stringy outfit, one you would expect to see adorning the body of a Vegas street walker.

There was also very unnatural blue and pink hair-dye in the sack. Seeing all this I was pretty sure my daughter may have been caught up into some liberal Californian cult, and figured this Hot Topic place listed on the receipt may have something to do with it.

Alarmed, my wife and I found the address to this store…which lead us to our local mall.

Friends, I tell you today. I’ve never been so frightened in my life. The store speakers were broadcasting weird music, the type that if played backwards would surely brainwash you into worshiping false idols. The shoppers in the store were young and adorned with spikes, impious make-ups and one boy was even wearing fangs and a cape.

After seeing such things my wife fainted and I helped her onto a mall bench. We immediately called my daughter and will be flying up to California to discuss what sort of cult she’s been tricked into joining now.

All I know right now is that that Hot Topic store scared me, and we need to get to the bottom of all the stuff I saw them selling in there.

  • This is absolutely horrible, Pat. Seeing your girl in those tshirts from that Dirty Shirt place was horrible enough, so I know this really had to hurt.

    I think that Hot Topic store also is responsible for all this new scary vampire fad. They helped sponsor a movie called Twilight, which encouraged kids to perform crazy, evil rituals and act like mystic terrors of the dark.

  • Vampire kids is a problem thats been spreading rapidly across our great, god fearing country, America. I’ve even heard vile rumors the the heathen democrat founded show “south park” is spreading this vile hot-topic propaganda.

    theres a good reason they’re called democrats… demo stands for demon and crats stand for the evil demon magic they’re using on the children of today.

    But lo, Pat. ive helped fallen people find the truth and helped free them from the demon magic of hot topic. If you gave me your daughters phone number id be glad to help.

    • This website and the people who believe whats on here are really SAD and Pathetic People. OMG Satan made Twilight? While I believe and agree with that statement, its not for the same reasons as the writer. Its because its such a shitty movie and it, like the Jonas Brothers, is made to make little girls ‘ginies tickle.(thats right, a southpark reference, deal with it bitches) Hot Topic can’t make your Kids into anything. IF your children buy things there, no magic person made them do it, THEY THEMSELVES decided to go in and buy it. Now if Satan does in fact exist and he did convice your children to buy things there and become whores (which they probably were already) then wouldn’t that mean that you as a parent failed to properly prepare your child to resist that temptation? IF so then you are a failure and your child is not to blame. Enjoy my perfect logic bitches.

    You say this is satire? No, this is religious propaganda made to ‘scare’ people into becoming a Christian. I am Atheist, a Socialist, and a vegan… and proud of it. I recently read an article on this site entitled ‘I am extremely terrified of Chinese people’ and all I have to say is.. what is going through your minds?!!? Your religion says to treat all people equally; and yet you don’t practice what you preach! I wish I could shop at Hot Topic, it’s a wonderful store but the only ‘sin’ they have committed is charging so much for their clothes.

    If you want to flame me/send me hatemail, go right ahead, all e-mails will be answered. Send all mail to darkpkmn4@aol.com, unless you’re scared by my ‘pagan’ ideals. XP

      Ok as much as i find the hilarity and suprisingly irrational response that this dude has taken of the emo/punk fags at hot topic, you are so many times worse than any of the zealous individuals. First of all socialism is a hideous, repeatedly attempted, repeatedly failed economic policy that reverts everyones freedom of choice back to the stone ages and makes us rely instead on the government telling businesses (who are all owned by the government if socialism is taking place) what to produce, how much to produce, and how much to sell it for. Likewise they also tax half of your income (this amount increases the longer socialism is being implemented) and pays its top leaders and then decides to spend the rest giving loyal followers handouts. Whatever is left over it gives back to the people in the form of “social welfare” which is just a pretty name for making you a ward of the state who relies on the handouts from the state to pay your insanely high taxes and survive on what limited rations are made available to you. Socialism is the worst idea EVER to have been thought up. At least primitive trade based mercantile systems provide some marginal benefit. Socialistic policies have led to the collapse of every major country that has applied them as a widespread, long term, government economic initiative(or in this case, a DIRECTive) except for Cuba, and you can see how well they have been getting by. Go on, move to cube, or russia, or venuzuela, see how well you enjoy it. Im sure they will give you all the “free” health care you want, provided by countless doctors named pedro and felipe who have 3rd grade educations and have raped countless female patients. Cause If im a doctor and i go to school for 8 years to become one, why the hell am i going to pay half my salary in taxes just so Andre Hoodrat from L.A. can sit on his ass and play madden while collecting his welfare check. FUCK THAT SHIT. Pick up any introductory economics text and read a few chapters. It will do wonders on your outlook. You might even try not reading the communist manifesto and wearing a shirt with some crazy south american dictator on it, and start reading the wealth of nations by Adam Smith, the father of modern economic theory. If you want to equally distribute the wealth after this, then get the fuck out of my country and go to some shithole rat infested red cornucopia of equality and fantasy land where no one works unless they are forced to at gunpoint and you cant even buy milk because the government couldnt manage shipping all the bread, generic soda, socks or anything out on time or to the right places because they are so bogged down in all the tax forms they are recieving to care whether your sorry ass gets anything or not. Not to mention they have no way of knowing what you want and how much you would pay because no market exists for you to provide that information to them. Christ(sorry jessus freaks and holy deciples)! Your a fucking real twit you know that. People like you want to spout your opinions here and there and come to conclusions that are against the norm because you think there is some sort of moral right for you to get something for nothing, either that or your just a pussy since most liberals are afraid of defending our great nation, the most powerfull one in the world in fact, made so by our implementation of capitalism and its ideals. Id rather share my country with religious nutballs like this guy who are to worried about their young, moral, and not entirely unattractive daughters hanging out with little punk bitches like yourself than i would want to share an entire universe with you. Your ideals are ineherently flawed sir, and you will change, or you fail greatly. Plus who the fuck is a vegitarian, must be some more liberal bullshit agenda that has been pushed on you.

      …And that’s just my two cents, NIgga WHHHAAAATTT

        oh and By the way a Government can’t be socialism and communism to the purest form it’s just …. Impossible

        so saying a Government is communist is like bullshitting

        oh and by the way 90% of the world is socialist

        and anyway Most of American doenst even Know what is the true way of socialism and communism they just said what they hear in media and they think their country is freedom when its all opposite ( rememebr george Bush administration is if you are against our Idea you are against our country

  • You are absolutely ridiculous. It is a clothing store. It is a style. If I hear one more person say Twilight started these “turning kids into vampires and making evil rituals,” then watch Twilight. The movie does not encourage anything. It was just based on a book that was the imagination of the author Stephenie Meyer. Did you have a problem with Harry Potter too? Stop being afraid of silly stuff. I love Hot Topic merchandise. They sell comfortable clothes that give me a chance to demonstrate my style and personality.

    Hot Topic also sells clothing for the organization “To Write Love on Her Arms.” How could you hate a store that does more than sell clothes? Seriously, open your eyes, stop worrying, and start living.

    I truly think that stores like “Hot Topic” should be shut down, and women should go back to their rightful place in the house tending to the chores, and that they shouldn’t where any clothes that show sking beyond their face and forearms, so as not to tempt the fine upstanding gentlemen of society.

    • Erm, OR you could step into the present and out of the dark ages. Women fought way too hard for way too long to get where we are and we’re not gonna stop now-let ALONE go back to where we were! You have fun in your flower apron breaking your back over a hot stove every day of your life and see how many of those “fine upstanding men of society” respect you and take your seriously.

      As for Hot Topic, the only thing they’ve done wrong is sell out to the mainstream, they didn’t turn your kids into sluts and whores. If you’re kids turned out that way, maybe you need to do some reflecting on your parenting skills. And honestly, you sent your daughter to CALIFORNIA, one of the most out there states in America, to go to college. What did you expect other than she would break out of your nazi-pretend Chrisian regime and grow a personality? Just because she shops at hot topic doesn’t mean she’s joined a cult. Furthermore, I’m pretty certain that God has more important things (like terrorism, global warming, and Justin Beiber cults) to worry about than what your daughter is wearing. If you taught her values, then what she wears shouldn’t affect them.

      And to the guy bashing the socialist/vegan, it’s a personal choice and, if you don’t like it, then don’t pay attention and keep your rude, disparaging remarks to yourself. It’s called freedom, that’s what America is about.

  • Oh my goodness!
    For one, Twilight is movie, and not even a good one at that. It’s NOT some brainwashing conspiracy.

    And two Hot Topic isn’t involved in cults or “demonic worship” or whatever crap that is. IT IS A CLOTHING STORE!!!! Just like Abercrombie and Fitch, just like macy’s, just like any other “upstanding” store in the mall. It just sells clothes. And there is nothing sinful about dying your hair. That is simply hypocricy. I am a very dedicated Christian and I have turqoise blue streaks in my hair! DO you think God cares about the color of my hair? NO! He cares about my heart and that I love and worship Him as the one true God.

    It’s people like you, sir, that discourage teenagers and young people from getting saved and turning to Christ. There are so many hypocrites that judge you on your hair, makeup, clothes, skin, ect. We’re all Christians, no matter what we look like. We should support each other, not condemn. It’s not your job to judge the sins of others, thats GOd’s job. If you try to do God’s job for him, you are just as sinful as the person you are judging.

  • oh my god, it’s a store! it can’t brain wash you into doing anything! Face it, your daughter bought that stuff because she wanted to. Not because she’s “possesed by the devil”. And Twilight was written by a mormon, you know. If anything, the book teaches you to love forever! You people are so easy to blame “Satan” when really, your kids are inflicting this on themselves. They can dress how they want to dress. It’s called freedom of expression, try it one day instead of all being Jesus-clones! And the music played in Hot Topic actually has some religious lyrics, if you try listening to it instead of gawking at how the members in the band dress as well! Like Avenged Sevenfold, who are a really good band. But no, you guys are probably like “OH HAIL MARY! THAT YOUNG GENTLEMAN HAS A TATTOO! EVERYONE, ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY GOD FOR FORGIVNESS FOR EVEN LOOKING AT THAT BLASPHEMY!” It’s okay to believe in God, it’s okay to love him, just use your common sense! Things happen for scientific reasons too! It’s not all “God-this” and “Satan-that”. There are other religions too, you know. No one knows which one is completely right. You don’t have to like Hot Topic, either! You can dislike the clothing if you want, dislike the music too. But don’t call it a work of the Devil! That’s stupid! Hot Topic just expreses a different type of style, that’s all! It’s not a cruel invention made by the Devil! Hm, no wonder I turned away from the church. It’s crazy people like you that make me unable to stand this religion. You guys are so fucking hypocritical, it makes me sick.

  • I have never in my life heard of some one so ignorant. I’m 16 and I shop at Hot topic. I have great grades and I do not look like a hooker. I believe you thought about this store are totally misconstrued. Twilight is a book, try reading it there is nothing that is suggestive. Also, where do you get off thinking that parent are letting the daughter dress like sluts when they shop there. Children are reflections of their parents, if you don’t like what your GROWN daughter is doing, there is no one to blame but yourself. Like someone has already said is a store… not a cult. It’s a book… not a cult. Look it up have an imagination and get your nose out of the bible for a full minute.

  • Excuse me. You need a reality check. J st because a person shops at a clothing store you think is untasteful does not mean they worship the devil. Many of the people i know, including myself shop at the store. Just because i shop there, doesn’t mean i look like a tramp. I have read ALL of the twilight books and seen the movie. There is nothing satanic about it. Hot topic does sell some suggestive clothing but just because you shop there doesn’t mean you have to like every thing in the store. I thought that god was forgiving and we were all his children. If this is true why do you church people disgrace everyone from your community?

    I’m sorry that you lost your girl to the world but YOU are the one at fault, not the the devil or hottopic,

    who’s little girl is she? YOURS, you are the one who raised her and had the responsibility to TRAIN up your child in the way she should go (pro 22:5-7)

    your guilt & shame causes you to blame others for your mistakes,

    the fact that she does these kind of things indicates that you lost her and her heart long time ago,

    I’m a Christian man and have two son’s 13 & 11 and we go to hottopic all the time and I’ve gotten to know the people there well enough to share what Jesus has done in my life with them, (“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.Math 9:11-13)

    and both my sons know and have a personal relationship with Jesus, WHY because I’ve taught them relationship and not religion all their life,
    and when I’ve made mistakes (allot of mistakes) I’ve humbled myself before them and asked for forgiveness,

    remember RELIGION DESTROYS and sadly the church is filled with religion but
    CHRIST brings LIFE,

    it’s sad but allot of people involved satanism come from so called Christian homes, wounded , religion forced on them, caused to hate God or anything to do with God, it’s thees people that Jesus want’s to show His love to,

    because once someone receives the love of Jesus(that they are accepted just how they are with no need change how they look, but Christ loves them right where they are) it’s life changing.

    • Easter is derived from the name of the goddess Eostre, after whom ‘Eostrogen’ is named. That’s a female hormone. And Christmas from Yule, which was actually the 22nd of December, normally. The 25th of December was chosen as it was the birthday of a god born of a virgin goddess, and all of the above made converting the pagans easier. Oh, and if you do more research, it’s believed that Jesus was born in August. Poor guy got his birthday changed because people were so desperate. And the bible was written 200-300 years after the death of Jesus. And the disciple who always questioned Jesus? He loved him, because his questioning showed he thought, and by questioning, we open our minds up. He helped Jesus educate the others. Because of this, I’m not a christian. Sorry, I just can’t believe in a religion that has about 25 different versions of its holy book. Spiritualist and proud of it. At least I know the ‘Holy Ghost’ is actually the ‘Daughter’, which makes more sense, rather than giving Her an obscure title to keep all the oppressing men happy.

      Just putting this in, because chances are, if it’s here, they’re more likely to read it, than use the evil site called ‘Google’.

      P.S. Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, and they had kids. If you read the bible right and have knowledge of that time periods way of speech, you’ll know how many kids they had and even the gender. Clue: ‘earthly restitution’.

  • It is no one’s right to judge the actions of others and it is up to no one but god to decide a person’s path in life. You may not understand why god has sent them in a direction for a tougher lesson in life, but what we must do is pray for understanding and acceptance that he knows what he is doing and will shed light upon those people in his own way. These are lessons in which the children of today’s society must learn (the hard way if need be.)

  • Wow, i cannot express the amount of outrage i felt reading about a father who would burn his college aged daughters clothing. I saw nothing wrong with the tshirt in the picture. It actually covers her body quite efficiently. You are a shining example of everything wrong in the church today. What are you, some torch carrying, witch hunting nutjob?? Seriously dude, i agree that some of the clothing in hottopic is revealing, but so is some of the clothing in ANY store in ANY mall in america. NOT that that makes it right, but to single out a store and claim it “seduced” your daughter is assinine. She made a concious decision to shop there afterall. There are no zombies lurking in the entrances casting spells. Grow up. Much of the clothing in hottopic covers more skin than alot of the preppy little stores like American Eagle, Abercrombie And Fitch, Deb, Hollisters etc. I think too many of your kind hear the loud music and freak out because its upbeat, and not funeral marches much of churches play. Hottopic sells jeans, tshirts, jackets, shoes, etc. Not just extreme styles. And the hair color doesnt not expose skin. I cant stand those preppy teeny giggly girlys, and no offense, but she probably looks good. You dont have to dress slutty to look good, and how do you know she bought a skirt that the how to wash tag has more fabric than the skirt itself? I think a girl in tripp pants and a tshirt looks good. Chillax, and dont be so puritan about life.

  • If you sit in the seat of judgement, you are not worshipping. Period. Truth. Spend your time diving in with God because you are committing the sin of passing judgement. You are probably willing to burn abortion clinics, because they are evil. I dont like abortion (i hate it) but one violent act cannot beget another. Otherwise you become just like the muslims.

  • As a Christian, I find Hot Topic to be a very tasteful place actually. They carry many brands of shirts of Christian rock and metal bands I can’t find anywhere else. Yes, there are some innuendos and satires among these shirts, and yes some of them are a bit disturbing, but how is that any different from what you can find on the TV or walking out your front door? It’s a clothing store, how is it any different than JCPenny’s?

  • Leave it to God to judge.

    I cannot say anything here that hasn’t already been said before but I’d like to add to it. I’m sure the man who put this up probably will never see this comment I think I’ll speak my mind anyway. There is a Christian Rock band named Underoath. I am sure many of you have not heard of them. They are supported by Hot Topic. Yes you may consider their music wierd, and I am sure you would consider their clothing to be “obscene” and “immoral.” However, I would recommend you listen to their song Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape. Listen to the lyrics, and then I can promise that you will have a new out look on this “immoral” style and store. Before I go, I’d like to also add that the more protective you are of your children the more they will want to act out. This doesn’t mean that there should be no boundaries, but less strict. Allow your kids to choose to go to church. If you force them, then as soon as they go off to college or move out, they will have stopped attending a weekly service and they will soon lose their faith in God. As a teenager I have seen people with over protective parents fall into the pit of drugs and alcohol because they are tired of their parents rules. I am drug and alcohol free and I encourage all other teenagers to be as well. There is a reason 90s grunge bands became popular: it is because they understood teenage anger and captured it in their music. This is somethig that parents must understand if they want their children to have a good relationship with them and with God. Thank You

  • I know I’m quite late on commenting on this but I just read it and can not resist on saying something.

    Wow. I have not laughted this hard in a while. What kind of 50′s suburbia world do you live in? Wake up! It’s the 21st century! You have to realize that your daughter is an adult that can make her own decisions. And she will never learn and grow into an amazing person if she doesn’t make mistakes every once in a while. You are not going to be around forever to hold her hand in everything she does. She is probably rebeling because you sheltered and smothered her all he life and she is just learning about the real world.

    And to “Love God’s Way” and anyone else that think us women should only be a dutiful housewife: Some of the most brillant people in the world are women. The dishwashers, fire escapes, mufflers, and windshield wipers were invented by women, (to name a few). So you owe women respect, pig.

    P.S. How paranoid can you be? Since when is a black tank top and blue hair a cult?

  • ok, here’s the thing. ITS A STORE! Does the bible not tell you to adorne your body as if it were a temple? If your daughter thinks that she looks beautiful in the cloths from Hot Topic, then you should let her wear them. Don’t you want your daughter happy? If she feels good in those cloths let her wear them! Just because you don’t like the store itself doesn’t mean you should try and pull her away from it. She can order cloths off the website if she choses to. The sub-cultures that are associated with that store are truely beautiful if you look at them open mindedly. Just because someone wears dark clothing or dyes their hair an unnatural color doesn’t make them bad. All this is coming from a teenager raised in a Christian home. I know for a fact that they sell christian music and merchandise in that store. They may not be the standard church hymns but nonetheless it IS christian music. You have to approach this logicly. Just give it a chance. My grandparents were dead-set aginst that store when i first started going in there and now they actually go in with me. They see that the people inside are normal people who chose to express who they are. Its because of all this single-mindedness that the store was created in the first place. It was created for people who wanted to express who they are and to help them escape from the people persacuting them for them being themselves.

    I’d actually like to tell you a little something personal here… My last step mother was a preastess. Looking at her, you wouldnt be able to tell. She had her hair dyed an unnatural red and her clothing looked like something that would come strait out of Hot Topic on its darkest days. She was a very good woman. My point? Things aren’t always as they seem. Hot Topic may seem like a dark scary place for cults to meet and buy cloths but really, its just another store. Only it dares to be diffrent than all the others. It choses to sell things that people wouldnt normally be able to find anywhere else. Its unique and you just dont really understand anything about it. If you did, you would probably embrace it.

  • Really Sick of this Stupid Shit

    Wow. I didn’t think this type of blatant idiocracy existed anymore. At least not enough for a full website. Oh well, at least in a few decades the few ideas like this that are still floating around out there will be dead, along with the ignorant morons that spread them. Then maybe the world can continue to progress and children can read there fantasy stories without being told they are going to go to Hell. Oh, and I would really like to know how you people get the idea that the Bible was like written by Jesus’s deciples when the Bible was written over 100 years after Jesus died. Because guess what, people don’t live that long, especially in those times when the general life expectancy was between 30-35 years. So there is no way that his followers could have written the Bible which means….that what you people are believing, teaching, and FORCING apon other people, is really not what you say it is, and could have been written by anyone trying to write a good story. Food for thought.

There are worse things than Dressing “like a harlot” she could be spouting off against expression like you do. She clearly wants to distance herself from your veiws, so let her. She’ll be all the healthier for it. Oh yeah & this whole sit needs to chill too. There’s more to life than looking for satan. Trying living once and appreciating human rights like everyone else.

Its your daughter who has chosen to buy the stuff, you should have taught her better if thats what you feel. Many christians choose not to buy it because we have free will. Talk to her, rather than hating on shops.

  • You need to live life

    Really there are worst things in this world your daughter could be doing. Please step out of your horribly small bubble and breath in the air and see the world as it is. You can not change things. Burning your daughter’s items will not get her change back to your ‘perfect little angel’. She is trying to find herself in this world. Having a tight grip on her will make her run from you and your beliefs. Let her taste the world without the strain of religion being shoved down her throat.

    The devil does not make you do anything nor does he make movies. Are you kidding me? Movies and books are from the mind. They are just dreams or ideas. They are not forced to be written by some outside force.

    Again please worry about other things. Like others going without food, water, heat, medicine. Those are things you should care about more. A silly little t-shirt will not send you to hell. We are made to make mistakes and learn from them. If your avoid everything in this life, then what was the point? Take a bite of something different. See what this world and life has to offer. Don’t be pulled down by silly things such as this.

    This whole website is a joke. You people are to afraid to do anything for yourselves. Your god is an escape goat for your fears. You MUST believe there is something out there so you don’t feel so alone. Try something different. Let mistakes be made. Let your daughters and sons fall on their faces and get back up. They will pull themselves to the right path, whatever that may be. Stalking them and controlling them won’t do a thing. They are big boys and girls now. You did your part. Just be there for support.

    Really makes me sad that people believe in such things as this. Books are Books. Movies are Movies. Music is Music.

    If you truly believe music can brain wash you, then you are weak. Nothing can make you do anything. Only weak minds believe in such lies such as the ones stated above It’s been proven. Like childern that start acting like their favorite cartoons on TV. Weak minds. It’s caused by CONTROLLING parents, religion or ways of life shoved down their throats, or a stable house hold. They go with the main stream stuff to rebel against forceful parents or to feel part of something that is stable.

    So if you want to blame anything or anyone, blame yourselves.

It doesnt change who I am. Hot Topic is just a clothing store. Nothing to be “frightened” over. Its just mere children expressing themselves. Its most likely a rebellious act, against what you have forced them to be. Let this phase run its course, dont be so controlling, and it will go away. And just because someone likes to be themselves and not conform to our disgusting society does not mean they are involed in a cult, just the opoosite, being themselves. Thank you.

    Okay so, since i work at hot topic, i have piercings, tattoos, my hair is all pink, the whole nine yards. That must mean I worship the devil right? no you moronic idiot, I and go to church, and the people of my church love me, and they shop there also. One of my managers there are one of the biggest church goers i’ve ever met, she has her work schedual done around church for her. She’s even in her churchs band that plays. yes i understand that you love god, he’s your savior, whoot, good for you. but you saying those things prove that you and your narrow minded wife need to figure out what makes someone a “devil worshiper” i honestly feel bad for you. you’re pathedic.

  • The Store has nothing to do with Satan the music isn’t evil and the chain is owned by the same company as macy’s. You guys need to lighten up. And sowing a little skin isn’t bad I wear their clothes and still manage to not wear anything provacative the store doesn’t even endorse doing bad things. Before you go around saying something is bad do your research. Just because you don’t know about something or it’s different doesn’t mean that it is evil.

    I’m a Christian and i enjoy shopping at Hot Topic. Grow a pair and actually listen to the “weird” music instead of assuming. A lot of it has Christian meanings. Don’t point fingers,the Bible even says not to judge. Before you preach something, try living it yourself(:

  • Can we stop for moment and have a brief conversation about the fact that this website parodies Christian radicalism in order to goad people into fighting with the authors and one another? Don’t get me wrong, I find every nuance of these articles and the subsequent flame wars pretty darn funny, but I just want to know if even one other person realizes this.

I’ve contributed to the ministry before and as long as they continue to produce the truth in many of their articles, I will support it. We need more standup news companies to go against the grain of liberalism and this is one of the few independent places that does it.

  • My favorite part of this article?

    When getting back home from the airport, I found my wife visibly upset. I went to see what was wrong, thinking perhaps she had burned supper or even worse the apple pie I had instructed her to make for dessert.

    I nearly spit my coffee out on my screen. Oh boy, I think this site plays for the wrong team. I do feel sorry for the daughter… emotional abuse is horrible. I have no doubt this girl will run as far as she can from her parents after graduating college and has parents that couldn’t do anything more to drive her to immorality than these people. God is shaking his head in disbelief, I’m sure…

  • All of you that doubt the power of this site will be burned alive in the cleansing hellfire that is to come. May all you demon worshiping, scantily clad women, vampire types be crucified in the name of our lord. The end times are near and I take pity unto your souls. I too have the same problem with the youth of our society wearing skimpy outfits and being possessed with demonic spirits. Luckily, I have uncovered a method of dealing with the heathens.

    Anyway, I see why they keep posting this garbage, this pretending to be an ignorant zealot is kind of catchy.

  • i do not worship satan or his followers! im a wiccan and wiccans do not worship satan! we oppose of the christian devil. my sisters, brothers, and seekers do not think that your devil is holy. we do white magic. white magic protects us from the demons and evil spirits a bay. the demon that follows me is named maldo. she is 2 years old and doesnt your bible say that any children that die before learning about christ dont they attomaticly (exuse my spelling im really mad at you) go to heaven? well dont they? white magic brings luck, love, purity, and other good things. learn the facts before you say that i worship pagans.

  • This is the type of cite that turns people away from christ not brings them to him. Yes i will agree some stuff at hot topic is inmodest but they do have some nice items. The people who write these articles are only driving people away from God. Who gave you the right to judge? “He who is without sin shall cast the first stone” None of the authors on this cite are without sin because no one on earth is without sin so who are you to judge? Jesus was and is the only sinless man He is the Judge so back off and let him do his job. He does it so much better than you. And your daughter is old enough to know the differance between right and wrong which means you can’t save her from anything. She is her own person let her be. If you have “destroyed” anything with which she has used her own money not your credit card she has the legal right to sue you for destruction of private property… and she would win.

  • dear amber cooper,
    i am 15 yrs old, and a HUGE twilight fan, i do shop at hot topic, and there is pink hair dye on my head, i may listen to “strange” music, but i am not a satin worshipper, or a freak. hot topic is the best store ever and twilight is more of a romancy story, dont judge a book by its cover!! we young people enjoy the unique and inspiring clothes and music hot topic has to offer. so you can go suck it!!!!!!! RAWR!

  • hmmmmm… amber you have an interesting view point. All though I’m not sure where you got the basis for any of your assumptions. IO am a mom of 6 children, aged 12-22, and four of them are girls. Three of my girls have read the books in the Twilight saga and I must say I was very nervous in allowing them to read about vampires, being as we are a very religously sound family who attend Mars Hill and I know for a fact that all of my children love God with their entire being.
    So I decided I should read the books to see what my daughters have gotten themselves into. It is not a book of satanic belief or even supporting vampiric nature. It is simply a tragic love story where a girl falls for the ultimately unavailable boy because he is a vampire.
    Stephanie Meyer created the vampire fad you speak of and not Hot Topic. They just jumped on board to make a large sum of money.
    Get your facts straight next time please before you go out galavanting what you think you know.
    Thankyou

  • twilight, you’re deceived just like many others. God is love but love isn’t God. Get what I’m saying? Just because its a so called love story doesn’t mean its not Satan inspired. Murders LOVE to kill and thieves LOVE to steal but they are both inspired by Satan, not by God. The Bible says that the devil was once a beautiful angel of light before he rebelled against God. He is using his charm and beauty to deceive the world. I believe he is using movies such as Twilight and Harry Potter to deceive kids into getting involved in occult practices.

  • Pat, You’re an idiot. Those “devil spikes” are actually plastic studs, rounded enough and not sharp, so you can’t feasibly cut yourself on them. Most people try cutting once, if they are depressed, for various reasons. Don’t judge. Seriously. Me and my boyfriend are Christian to the bone, and we both loved shopping at hot topic, until idiots like you convinced the company to start selling “fluffy” stuff and get rid of the gothic clothes with chains. You people ruined a good clothes brand.

    Also, I shopped at hot topic because their clothes are very UN-revealing. Most of their stuff used to be long sleeves and studded and beautiful. Stores like Macy’s are the places where people find low cut, revealing, and slutty clothes. DO your research. Hot Topic is not the evil-doer, it’s your daughter.
