We could go a step further and start a discussion about why humor based around contentious topics such as rape, sexuality, gender, and race is disseminated, or for that matter, even considered funny. How is it that extremely awkward topics make people laugh? Is the laugh response real or an attempt to fit in? Is the rampant misogyny and racism associated with metal only a product of the notion that being vulgar is actually hilarious? What ever happened to humor that is actually funny? Why do people lie to themselves and laugh at this sort of garbage? Why does the "scene" promote such antisocial ideas (which in extreme cases leads to actual violence)? Any takers? Or am I just going to get railed on for not being metal enough because I have a conscience?


i just have a high tolerance for things deemed offensive by the average person. i don't take offense at too many things, unless it's a personal attack. over the years, i've grown to learn that being offended is a choice. i'm not going to let jokes or pictures offend me. in most cases, i find them funny.
