Face it, we are the new Al-Qaeda. Soon we'll have to break into metal sleeper cells, meet in the cellars of dingy bars and hatch thrash metal terror plots.

A few thoughts: There's nothing even remotely wrong with a business instituting a policy and then sticking to it. I doubt the world will sorely miss the likes of Burzum and Zyklon B. Some of you guys, no offense intended, might want to reconsider your priorities in life if you're up in arms when it might be a bit more difficult to obtain your daily dose of hatred and bigotry. And finally, if anything should be banned, it should be Christian music. Damn, that stuff sucks.

 

[Chromatose]

I suppose I'd better hurry up and sell my annoyingly faggotly agallochy wood box on ebay before they ban that too.

 

[dorian gray]

Nah, Agalloch are dark and mysterious but at the same time, peace-loving nature-lovers. Not a threat.

It really boils down to the principal of the matter though, of course ebay or any other buisness has the right to do that. Its the fact that they will still sell things like Rap music glorifying *****, exploitation of women, murder of law enforcement, etc. yet ban a fucking Emperor album.

 

[dorian gray]

they might be perceived as racists if they ban the sell of rap

 

[Erik]

something i just noticed:

a couple of days ago, you could select "black/death", "speed/thrash", "nu metal", or "other" as subgenres for the "metal" genre in ebay's classification system but now these options have disappeared and there is only one blanket "metal" genre

 

[Evil?]

Very lame.

yeah you make a point, personally i hardly ever buy on ebay so it doesn't really affect me but it's lame to single out metal like that

but frankly i welcome mainstream consternation toward metal, who wants that kind of acceptance? we spend all day talking about how we hate pop culture, are we really gonna whine about it when they take a negative stance toward us? isn't that, uh, the point?

 

[dorian gray]

I said *near* the In and Out Burger

 

[cthulufhtagn]

we're going to the in-n-out burger?

 

[dorian gray]

Well, *you* aren't considering your current location

 

[cthulufhtagn]

neither, my friend, are you...i hardly imagine the apartment above 1600 pennsylvania avenue is anywhere near an in-n-out

Personally, I thought 'the point' was just to enjoy listening to whatever you enjoy listening to - fuck mainstream acceptance or consternation, let the people that actually give a fuck about what other people think one way or the other bother about that.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

k i wasn't trying to say i listen to metal specifically because it pisses my parents off...metal has never pissed my parents off tbh
