The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

All of them.

Never heard of NSBM before, had to look it up there.

What's the big issue about sharing a stage with them? Why can't the likes of Primordial just turn up, play their show, get paid and leave?

Is it that they don't want to be associated with the other bands?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Well Graveland is the obvious problem as they were only announced in recent days as far as I can tell.

But Graveland have played it before. They're actually why I asked, I was wondering if there was some band "worse" than Graveland who'd been announced for next year that caused all this commotion. Couple of bands did cancel in 2016, but I don't know if it was related to that.

[O Drighes]

None of the bands who have cancelled have gone so far as to name the bands they supposedly have a problem with, for example, which would be kind of a minimum you would expect if they were genuine and not just worried about the slippery slope; if we say it's because of Nokturnal Mortum, then the mob will jump in saying we should also be condemning Destroyer 666 and Inquisition, and so on.

Spot on.

I would also add that keeping track of bands who shared stage with whatever other band spousing a controversial idea is also an unattainable demand. What happens with bands who shared the stage with bands who had previously shared stage with controversial bands and so on? If a band is really against such and such idea and wants to speak out against them then they might consider going on stage and saying it openly, calling a spade a spade, and let the audience decide for themselves. After all, do these bands care as much to what their audience beliefs are too or is it just other band members' beliefs?

Much like people do in debates involving speakers holding extremely different views, each side is only responsible for what they have spoused themselves rather than being condemned for sharing a stage with the opposite side. This cancelation mania has a lot more to do with saving face than actually keeping prejudice out of metal, which in BM is even a laughable proposition given its antichristian stance.

Ahh what a thread lads, must be the whiniest read on the world wide web  :

Reality denial does that to you. Steelfest knew exactly who they were booking and what the backlash would be like. Looking for those whiny NSBM manboy tears. And of course it works, the people who believe in "the great reset" etc exist and are incredibly dumb. Just say "white men are the real victims" and they're in your team. Like many of you in this thread. It's fucking hilarious

Good man.

[keyboard bat]

Good man.

I am sitting with my popcorn over here reading people deride outside meddlers over this, while the people who cancelled their festival appearance are not some anarchist straw puppet, they are called Primordial, Moonsorrow, Deicide etc . I bet those bands are (((cultural marxists))) now, whoda thunkit! Or maybe their hard lad anti everything stance is just posturing, because they know their fans are dumb as shit!

[Thorn]

'Dumb as shit.' And it all went out the window.

I get it, your poop is a logical being with a very high IQ. Apologies for stereotyping scat.

[Eoin McLove]

I think we should consider cancelling our Nazi rally. Keyboard Bat has opened my eyes.

So the main takeaway from the Steelfest saga is that Primordial are antifa operatives, right? Better watch some ben shapiro videos asap for the daily red pill dose!

[Caomhaoin]

This lad sounds like Chris after about 6 grams of Special
K and a severe knock to the head.

'Sure Primordial are in the Antifa now amirite'

Bee in the bonnet and arguing with fresh air. On ya go son, knock yourself out.

Thank you for your help in this difficult time.

A buncha yas claiming Antifa is to blame. Primordial, Deicide, Moonsorrow etc pulled out, so if Antifa is to blame, Primordial etc are taking orders from Antifa. Or there is a massive cognitive dissonance that you are welcoming so that your dorky ideology stays intact.

Very wimpy.

Thanks, Keyboard Bat. Your good work here is appreciated. We all feel safer.
