    At this point we really need to accept that there are still puritans amongst us. That said, [insert profane insult here, everything I could think of would irritate someone, and well, shit].

      Idiots have existed at all times. Sometimes they are competent at other things that make them seem competent but they are not.

    • I said BS at a presentation the other week, like literally the letters, because I wanted to say something completely wrong was bullshit, so I censored it for my wide audience. My boss “mentored” me later that I shouldn’t say that because I never know who is watching my talk. If those little bitches lose the heart of my discussion because I used an expletive to reinforce the strength of my observations, they can eat a dick. Obviously, I said I’ll try to keep their advice in mind because…

        I really wish we could get back to a place where people weren’t so easily offended.

      I want to read your insult, so I can measure it to the profanities popping in my mind.

    Wait, does that mean that Doom 2016 is based on true events, then? Because the H E A V Y M E T A L always plays when a portal opens up with loads of demons!

    They think metal is all about devil and demon and hell.

    Metal in reality: i’ll make a journey and find this holy sword to defeat evil and uphold justice.

    Alternatively: I’m a dwarf and i digging a hole.

      It’s wonderful how misunderstood a lot of the ‘evil’ metal bands are. Bands like Cradle of Filth and Cattle Decapitation have ostensibly repulsive artwork and song titles/lyrics, but the themes and meaning behind the songs meander between tongue-in-cheek fun to philosophical pondering to outright castigation of humanity’s treatment of the natural world. Judging a book by its cover and all that stuff…

      Then again, there’s Behemoth, who literally describe summoning demons and other pagan and satanic rites in their songs. But good grief, the music is so good.

        Cradle of Filth is one of the worst examples to bring up, lol. Principles of Evil Made Flesh and V:Empire is mostly about vampirism and satanism. They literally have albums (Cruelty and Dusk) about Elizabeth Bathory sacrificing children in rituals to Satan to keep her youth and so many songs in Midian have Anti-Christian themes including a protagonist in one of the songs burning down a church.

        But agree with you, only a small fraction of metal is satanic, it’s mostly limited to a small subsection of Black Metal. Although… the wiki page for Early Black Metal in Norway is always a fun read. :)

        The origins of metal have more moral correctness than the “Christian” US. Scroll all the way back to 1970, “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. Song very plainly and literally about the corruption of the political establishment and the evil of war. That undercurrent never went away, all the way to the present.

      And then there is a 91 year old Christopher Lee that is singing about his Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather, Charlemagne.

      No, I’m not joking.

          No worries! Finding this album made the phrase, “you’ll never be as cool as Christopher Lee,” go from just a statement of fact, in my head, to being a compliment. It’s like being told, yeah you’re a pretty good guy, but Fred Rogers was nicer than you. Must be doing something right to be in that company.

    So what does he listen to? Messiaen? Rautavaara? Or some cringe american band whose whole material is the blasphemous doctrine of some megachurch? If the answer is something like the first two, they certainly know how to open portals to hell and heaven and back while being extremely religious.

    My dad is a born-again Christian and he threw out all his Black Sabbath records when he (re)converted. I started listening to classic metal in college, and I eventually had to ask my dad… “You threw out this? This is some of the lyrically-mildest stuff I’ve ever listened to.” He just kinda shrugged, and admitted that he overreacted a bit, but this is still 100% the way lots of the evangelicals I grew up with think about anything that’s not explicitly marketed as “Christian.”
