We have to ask V5 to re-open the hate thread and promise him that we won't tell Deron about it.
I don't get it, when did anybody say that rape is a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously??
it was all clearly a joke, and nobody was offended
Metal lyrics are NOT to be taken literally. Much of the 'gore' aspect of metal is to be taken as if one were reading a comic book. You can't go out making fun of the rather sensitive issues of soceity. Whats wrong remains wrong, metal or not.
Actually I said it was as much for the fact that it was a social thread any more as well. Probably more so the reason it was closed. The rape stuff was just the piece of straw.
So what if it was just becoming another social thread?? Was it hurting anybody? NO! We all enjoyed it, and isn't that the point? No one was complaining. Removing it was unnecessary.
I like that slick businessman who tries to talk to Hans and gets executed. Great movie.I fucking love Die Hard!
I fucking love Die Hard!
I fucking love Die Hard!
I am hating alot of things right now, but im not gunna say because it would be seen as 'off topic' in this thread. And the social thread it not a place I want to come and let out my anger.
Just try and imagine a person who's been a victim of rape in the past comes on and reads this. What people were posting could have gotten QUITE offending.Nor are jokes meant to be taken literally. If you can listen to music with offensive lyrical themes, but not offensive jokes, that's a double standard. Regardless, do you really think that there are no metal bands out there who mean what they say?
It seems like your saying that it's ok for metal bands to make light of any subject they want, but it's not ok for anyone else.

I agree with the idea though that simply the deletion of posts would have been a fine solution. Including a warning to go with it.
