In contrast to [[postcolonialist]] literary and cultural critics who see goth as [[eurocentric]] and laden with racist connotations, film historian David J. Skal argues that horror cinema has always served as a socially acceptable outlet for subversive social criticism,<ref>David J. Skal: “The Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror” Faber and Faber, Inc., 1993 ISBN 0-571-19996-8</ref> and thus neither horror imagery nor (by extension) the Goth subculture adhere to the description suggested by these critics.

Cartoonist [[Jhonen Vasquez]] has satirized the goth subculture in his comics ”[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]”, ”[[I Feel Sick]]”, and ”[[Fillerbunny]]”. Vasquez depicts it as showing tendencies towards backbiting, unoriginality, and conceit. At the same time, his work is also self-mocking, particularly when it touches on issues such as murder and depression (common in ”[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]”), which are topics of interest in Goth subculture. {{Fact|date=September 2007}}
