    Hell, they’ll give you this look even when you say you like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and of all bands - Motorhead.

    People have particular subgenres of taste, but who the hell decided at one point that we should evaluate what is metal and what isn’t?

    I have given bands like Cannibal Corpse, Death and sprinkles of other Death/Black metal bands honest tries. To me it’s all just noise and the vocalist guarantees me that I will not like them because it’s just belching and barking lyrics.

    Because Ghost is not going crazy with solos, screeching/belching/barking lyrics out, isn’t recording their material in some hollowed out and echoed building somewhere. They also aren’t catering to lyrics about how it’d be a wonderful day to be devouring some flesh and fucking the eye sockets of a skull. But you wouldn’t know that with the vocalist doing said belching/barking/screeching lyrics until you read what the song is about.

    So basically, Ghost is not liked because it’s not catering to metal edgelords.

    The downvotes prove me right. :)





  • I’m going to have to answer this based on my personal experience and I’d know because your detailing is very similar.

    Mainstream content reinforces the idea that the world and society all but feel manufactured. They’re the things that got chosen to be popular, they’re what is going to be market, they’re what is going to be talked about and so on and so forth. Sometimes it is chosen but other times, there’s definitely a formula in the works that just gravitates people instantly.

    That’s all fine and well. But if you’re an individual who’ve developed their own tastes and you’re not getting in any engagement with anyone about those tastes, you’re going to get lost in the fold very quickly because you’re not part of what everyone considers the ‘in’ thing.

    Your last bit tells me that it’s a you-thing. You dropped everything that you liked, because why? Because you saw merchandise being made in a store? But it’s like, did anyone force what you enjoyed down your throat? You’re waiting for the hype to die down? I don’t get that, because all that you’re doing, is limiting your personal enjoyment and your personal moderation about how much you enjoy something.

    You don’t have to go out, buy the merchandise, buy anything that so much has your favorite thing on it. You don’t have to engage with the mass volume of the community that gets noisy to engage. You’ve sucked out whatever interest that was left over things that are optional. It’s one thing if a series changes because of fan demand, that I can understand and it has happened to people’s favorite series.

    But if a series is still going for what it is, unaltered and naturally enjoyed but still popular but you want to sit it out anyways? That’s kindof on you.











  • These guys are a bunch of morons. All of the comments here are proving as to why.

    • Associates with AI
    • Wants money to use it
    • Doesn’t factor that Twitter might not entirely be available after all
    • Uses Musk’s other imprints, like Grok, on it which may subject them to fail
    • More centralized social media is not what we need

    I’ll give it a few months before they actually are sued into oblivion, to which they’ll have the biggest pikachu shocked faces possible.



  • Meta maintained throughout the brief trial that it had worked extensively over the years to make its platforms safer for its youngest users, pouring resources into testing and research, and building new features.

    No, you’ve made it a pain in the ass process to delete a facebook account. I’ve counted, you have to go through almost 5 prompts to finally delete an account. It’s simpler on mobile, by about 2 extra steps shorter, but that indicates that no, you did not work extensively to make it safe if you can’t make deleting easier.
