I BETTER STOP LISTENING TO IT LEST I BECOME A NAZI MYSELF! MY MOMMY WOULD DEFINITELY NOT APPROVE OF ME, THEN!"
This is the same fucking argument that I see some people use for homosexual members of bands. First of all, who fucking cares? Second of all, them being gay (or in this case, nazi) does absolutely NOTHING to affect you. It drives me insane when people go "OMG FREDDIE MERCURY WAS GAY??????!?@#// I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOOK AT QUEEN THE SAME WAY AGAIN!!1" Why the fuck not? Did they come to your house and rape you up the ass or something? Christ. You're the same way. Did they come to your house and convert you into a nazi or something? It's just music, dude. Get over it.
If I'd listen to stuff like Burzum I'd always feel like supporting an complete idiot and his crimes... sorry, but thats my opinion. And I don't think its the same argument people e.g. use for homosexual bandmembers etc. If someone would stop listening to a band because one member is homosexual, he is an intolerant idiot, but you can't compare this to racism, because racism mustn't be tolerated!
