Controversial opinions on metal

The only way I can see Manowar as having homosexual tendencies is when compared to today's "straight" males who somehow think it's more masculine to wear shirts and pants that drag on the floor.

Citing a immature/prison fashion trends in defense of homosexual music and fashion is a poor arguement.

I haven't even listened to them much save for several songs maybe. Am I missing out on some Fates Warning-esque godliness, or something?

hardly but they're cool brah.

Manowar look like ruthless barbarians from thousands of years ago. I hardly consider that gay.

That was pretty damn great.

It's only gay to those who see such types in their sexual fantasies.

I could make an obvious statement like "Manowar is the height of homosexuality in metal music" and all the closet gay trolls will rush to defend the band's non-existent masculinity.

I would recommend moving on to another genre of music if you find Manowar's image bothersome.

Seriously. Grow up already.

Seriously. Grow up already.

I am not the one suggesting Manowar is a pinnacle of heterosexuality.

 

[Krow]

Well... their image used to be totally bad ass.
No one thought Kevin Sorbo wasnt awesome as Hercules... Or that gladiators and barbarians werent awesome.

Then it became cool to be gay and the guys who would have liked the badassery became overly homophobic.

 

[skeptik]

You know what you said and you know why it's stupid and immature, so there's really nothing for me to say. I'm way too tired of all this "lol manowar is gay" and all other internet crap.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

...so I ask you again, why do you listen to metal if this kind of shit bothers you? Scantily clad men does not automatically accumulate to homosexuality and it's only homophobes (aka those still in the closet) who feel this way.

 

[Dak]

Nothing badass about leather panties and leopard print leotards.

Edit: If the above pictures don't look extremely homo to you then nevermind. at "homophobe in the closet". Why didn't you just save typing with "NO YOU!" ?

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Then get the fuck out of metal, pussy.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I would recommend moving on to another genre of music if you find Manowar's image bothersome.

I would recommend that you stop posting dumb shit like this.

Yeah, they look totally gay tbh. But that doesn't mean their bands suck or that their music is gay.

Manowar, on the other hand, posed in speedos covered in oil. You know who else does that? Bodybuilders. You know what bodybuilders do when they're finished posing like that? They fuck the shit out of a bunch of women, that's what they do. Actually, they probably take a shower, but you get the idea.

Anyhow, can you describe why you think Manowar are gay? Is it merely because they posed half-naked?

wut

Do you know what masculinity means?

 

[DarkBliss]

WAIF, almost all metal bands pose for photos in such a showy, flamboyant way.From Immortal to Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon, to Mayhem taking that extra step and sacrificing lambs at their concerts and flinging their parts into audience(I've heard that one spectator was killed when a chunk of flesh hit him on the head). It's all done for show. And then some metalheads are awed at the fact that metal is not taken seriously by "outsiders". Bah.
