WolfLawyer: To be fair, that’s not exactly new in the metal scene.

i just want zoomers to know that computers were actually useful once. before the iphone/ipad/android/chromebook, computers ran software that was just like a program that did what it was supposed to do. also the internet used to have a lot of cool stuff on it that didn't give you an anxiety disorder

We had a Metaverse but it was called World of Warcraft and it was actually fun to be in.

I tried to recapture that when classic came out in 2019. The second I stepped into stormwind it was a bunch of people going on a tirade about Trump and some Qanon madness. I cancelled my sub that night. That shit didn't happen in 2005. It was just silly nonsense and people taking it all to seriously

The weird enclaves of the internet all being turned into hives of right wing lunacy is one of our biggest cultural losses. “Oh what happened to that heavy metal/knitting/fire eating chat board I used to post on?” “Aww, it’s just threads about the Biden crime family now.”

Yup, metal especially is bad. I hear a band I enjoy and I to have bite my lip and pray they aren't nazi's when I do a google search these days.

To be fair, that’s not exactly new in the metal scene.

No, I suppose it's just a matter of how easy it is to know these days. When I was 12 it was just "Oh this is rad!" and I never really looked into it. If I did then anything short of literally waving a nazi flag was subtle enough for me not to notice back then.

Also we used to have not-Nazis doing kinda nazi shit for edge. Now we’ve got Nazis pretending not to be Nazis so they can still play festivals.
