     The same Cultural Marxist insanity behind #GamerGate have been increasingly<\/a>, and laughingly<\/a>, been trying to go after Heavy Metal.\u00a0 Much as with #GamerGate, the Social Justice Warriors are increasingly outing themselves as being not part of the sub-culture, but external enemies that seek to only destroy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“While aggression against women may have been overlooked or written off as a gimmick in the 1970s and ’80s, in 2015 metal’s derogatory lyrical content is only one of the problems that need to be addressed. Many bands either openly encourage violence against women or fail to support legitimate female fandom, but it certainly doesn\u2019t end there. Female metal bands are rarely booked on national tours and practically ignored by the media \u2014 and worse, the ones who make it that far get ridiculed or sexualized.<\/p>\n

“\u2026<\/p>\n

“Go ahead, boys, dig your Slayer Vans in the sand, but if metal doesn\u2019t change to reflect its more diverse audience, it could vanquish itself into irrelevancy. Do you really think excluding women will further metal as a sustainable art? No. Keep excluding women, and it will be a dead genre in 50 years \u2014 or an outdated, embarrassingly nostalgic subclass of musical racism and sexism.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Ah yes, all those sexist bands like M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce who sang about “Girls, Girls, Girls<\/a>” not only had a plethora of female fans that traded make-up and hair tips with M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce and other “hair metal” bands, we so “sexist” as to have let a girl<\/a>… drum for them!\u00a0 Doesn’t that just totes LITERALLY ooze MISOGYNY???<\/p>\n

     The author’s dismissal of BABYMETAL<\/a> as “a band only a pedophile could love” seems a bit culturally insensitive to the idol-loving non-White Japanese.\u00a0 Ironic when the author goes full intersectional feminist and whines about “systems”:<\/p>\n

\n

“And even if metal fans are principally male, why are they reluctant to cheer for a female-fronted band? Never fail to understand this: because being a fan is an act of submission. It\u2019s the same reason men can’t wait destroy a successful female player in a live-action role-playing video game. Lower-ranked males despise the disruption in hierarchy represented by a successful female. They\u2019re jealous, and don\u2019t want to give up power.<\/p>\n

“Or worse, they either fail to see the common humanity in a female or believe they\u2019re just not worth hearing. The empathy gap in metal is so enormous that the problem is systemic. Until metal fans can appreciate metal for the music and not just who plays it, metal will remain the dark fraternity it is.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     This is but another example of a Social Justice Warrior refusing to even entertain the possibility that reality exists, and substituting their Cultural Marxist idiocy on people.<\/p>\n

     The poster child for why Metal is sooo misogynistic?\u00a0 Cannibal Corpse.\u00a0 A band that makes the musical equivalent of a horror movie.\u00a0 A band that writes fiction<\/em> about horror<\/em>.\u00a0 Apparently this<\/em> is what misogyny looks like:<\/p>\n
