    Societal alienation makes for the best art and metal is no exception. Metalheads trying to exclude someone for being different (NSBM excepted) have completely missed the point of the entire genre.

    Shout out to Genital Shame and Lust Hag making excellent Transwoman Black Metal!

        A lot of first wave and early norwegian black metal bands were essentially proto-NSBM. Nazis have been a part of black metal for as long as it’s been around. For a long while black metal had a reputation for being full of fascists

      Yeah, some genres have a large segment of people who struggle to fit in with the mainstream. I’d like to think that they pick up something about social liberalism vs traditionalism from that, but there’s apparently also a significant segment who want as strict traditions as the mainstream, they just want somewhat different traditions.

    I wanna downvote because you called metal shitty growls and screams, but I’m no transphobe so you get a comment >:(

    Metal people are the most chill people always, have you seen Serj outside of musical videos? He’s almost a hippie.

    I’ve been attending metal shows my entire life and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any transphobia. OP doesn’t know metalheads

    “23 subgenres of equally shitty growls and screams” sounds like a headline from far-right media, so…

    If I die and go to hell and there is no metal genre playing then I know I truly went to hell.

    And for those who say ‘what about all the people before metal music was invented who died and went to hell’. To that I have to say that metal music is eternal and the history of music is a lie!

    Duh, Metal is clearly when your opinions align with fart-in-chief of a right wing government owned by crusty billionaires appealing to boomers /s

      People who elect genocidal, theocratic fascists to power because they think trans people are icky should be driven to the fringes of society, not have their feelings coddled.

      It really is better to be destroyed by Trump and fascism standing for what’s right, that being empathetic and logical, than to cowtow to his demands.

      Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. I won’t be the equivalent of a German who provides silent, obedient consent as they dehumanize the gypsies/Jews/disabled.

      It’s not rehabbing the Democrat party to yet again make them a little more similar to the Republicans, they’re already fascist light.

      We need a major left wing party in the United States. We haven’t had one in living memory. If we don’t get that, highly likely, the ship will continue to sink until collapse. Then we can form a bunch of smaller nations of varying decency to be destroyed within a couple decades by climate change, forcing us back to a far more hostile nature than humanity has known.

      It’s almost funny we are doing all of this to ourselves as a species to prevent what my species sees as the worst possible fate: humanism and global cooperation where no one is allowed to hoard enough resources to live as modern pharoahs while others starve and die of exposure.

      We’d rather go extinct or to subsisting off hunting and gathering than forfeit our dreams of being the rich sociopaths inflicting ourselves on the masses. Earth has something for a species that toxic.

      Surprise, the transphobe doesn’t like the anti-transphobic meme. Who would have guessed?

      Well, the economy is headed for recession and the international system the US spent the last 80 years building is forever shattered and nobody will ever trust us again, but at least trans people can’t use their preferred bathrooms.

      Was it a good trade?
