TikTok and Twitter users are trying to cancel Metallic now.

This is the generation that is willing and eager to pay arena show prices to go watch a goddamn DJ play fucking records.

WATCH A DJ PLAY RECORDS

They're idiots

Any opinion they form should be disregarded with prejudice

Secretly he’s just an actor and he does have a twitter account.

There are they plenty of men who do use Twitter.

No.....there really isn't.......

This is almost as much Injustice For All as the OU coach resigning after reading a bad word from a players iPad.

People are clinically insane. I’m not even joking. I feel like I speak a different language than the earth sometimes.

Follow the Tok that failed

This is your basic rage baiter- seeking negative engagement- not a woke moralist. Every vid is just cringe. Not sure if people understand the concept of rage bait here. It is a thing.

Formula:

1. Piss a bunch of people off in a video.
2. Get them to negatively comment on your video, and to share it… like here.
3. Algorithm detects the engagement and promotes your video even more.
4.More people watch and comment.
5. Profit!

Nothing unique or new.......

I'd wager most here understand the basics of what it is......

Its been a staple of the human race to gain attention, make $$, win elections etc for a centuries.......

Its not limited to the internet......not at all.....its a human thing..

You don't just have a 40+ year career as kings of thrash metal only to be cancelled by a couple of purple haired pussies on TikTok. This won't effect their ticket sales one iota

 

[wildhawk1]

Yeah... good luck finding a musical artist who isn't problematic.

Tik Tard. I pity the fools.

Tik Tard.... lol

A couple of coworkers are a few IQ points away from leaving hours spent daily on TT for shiny objects.

If St. Anger didn't get 'em canceled nothing will

Exactly! They got me kicked off Napster and I'm still a fan. They released an album where Lars played fucking trash cans and Kirk didn't play any solos and I'm still a fan. They went alt rock in the 90's and I'm still a fan. They are too big to fail. Uncancellable. The hate will only fuel them

No doubt, but it is a bit disingenuous to use this to rally against a non-existent trend within MLP’s favorite fringe movement.

Most people in this thread are taking this at face value— as if the discovered the internet yesterday. So staple or not, plenty of people don’t get it. And this is why rage bait works— all this engagement over something that doesn’t exist.

And an education. She makes a lot of incorrect assumptions, but I guess that’s to be expected.

God help her if she hears a slayer song

I don't know, man.
I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I think most people in this thread are posting in it for the same reason I started it... it's just something to talk about.
Stir up some discussion on the ol' discussion board sort of thing, y'know?

Personally, I think most people are showing amusement about it more than any kind of anger or rage, but maybe those kinds of emotions look different to me than they do to others.

I would say most if not all people in this thread are perfectly aware of sensationalism. This is why as a whole we can have way more controversial conversations than most music forums. People don’t in general rage and troll each other.

I don’t know what “fringe” movement is being referenced. The ridiculousness of cancel culture, and the resistance to being gaslighted on a constant basis on variety of significant philosophical, fact based, scientific truths isn’t what I would call fringe.

Personally I wouldn’t call Jordan Pererson fringe or a “Chicken Little.” He’s kind of where I am as far as wood outlook. He is far smarter and more articulate about it than I am, but I can follow him 99% of the time. I think most people can’t follow him, which is exactly why he’s so controversial, when he shouldn’t be.

That not to say there are some reoccurring topics discussing current events, and gaslighting taking place. There are, and I appreciate the fact that we can, actually discuss. I appreciate the fact that I can come here for polite conversation and not think I’m completely alone in thinking this “stuff” is nuts. That’s not to say, so stories are brought up specifically to stir the pot a little. Isn’t that kind of the point of forums and threads? As Jordan Peterson says, you can’t have conversation without some level of disagreement or we’d have nothing to talk about.

What I can also tell you is that the lack of intellectual IQ and emotional IQ with people in general that allows the rationalization of ruining lives, and manipulating truth; is alive and well in the professional world from those who would be considered highly educated people. It doesn’t feel fringe at all to me. It’s actually quite scary. If anything what should be “fringe” isn’t. We are living through what should be satire, but isn’t. The movie Idiocracy in real life. That’s why I’m up thinking about this stuff at 4:30am.

Cancel culture...my wife calls them "idiots with just enough IQ not to shit on the street"

To me they seem to be at the same level your average extremist movement who try to cancel people with the "wrong" religion or heritage and just history in general. In the end it all seems to be about power and self enrichement or just plain stupidity.

They should have seen the Rammstein concert i was at last thursday...

As I’ve found out many of the woke are really just enjoying their ability to bully people via a self inflicted victimhood. And it’s not just the woke who pull this but anyone who can claim they were somehow wronged and find enough people to give them support.

yes somehow being a "victim" and mentally ill is like a badge of honor these days.

it's gross. And stupid.

Ermergerd! Nertzees!

Yep. And the Swastika predates the Nazi party.

It always reminds me of this guy (NOT a nazi)

Even though the symbol goes a lot further back in history.
