Boating With Jesus

[Giggles]

The organizer has asked what other bands he should include in the list to not miss anything. What would the purpose of this be other than to decide whether somebody is denied entry or be asked to leave, What's the alternative? Bold corner by the entrance?

I'm just pointing out that the post doesn't specifically state that you will get kicked out or refused entry for wearing a certain band's shirt.

And yeah I agree, it's silly making up rules like this after the tickets were bought.

What does we strongly urge you not to wear a Burzum t-shirt mean if it doesn't mean you'll get kicked out? They'll give you a disapproving look and make you really really feel bad?

I imagine that it's to scare people into not wearing said merch. Maybe they're afraid of getting negative press with the shit storm of bands pulling out of recent festivals. Who knows 🤷

Imagine if this is the next thing now being told what you can and can't wear to a gig. Festival line-up looks shite.

Yeah, just checked out the line-up and it's not particularly inspiring.
Do I have any difficulty with a festival not wanting neo-Nazi symbols/imagery on display? Not really. Should they moderating band tshirts? Equally no.

This is it. Making a list like that just encourages young lads to whip out the phone and look them up anyway.

[John Kimble]

Exactly. And even though the line-up for that festival is fairly safe and uninspiring, I'd imagine if you did a deep dive into past members of some of those bands, you wouldn't have to go the full six degrees of separation to find some tenous link to dubious politics or views. Where's the cut-off point? Vetting of patch jackets at the door? Curated by Dawn Ray'd?

These cunts have forgotten that they are entertainers.

[Grim Reality]

Absolute bananas carry on. Is it frowned upon to wear a Burzum shirt in public these days? Like at a random gig or in the pub? They are one of the biggest bands in metal for fuck sake.

[Anvil]

Even Kanye West likes to wear Burzum t-shirts....

[Giggles]

I doubt it 

And yeah it is bananas carry on, seems like some virtue signalling shit. It reminds me of business's sporting pride flags like they actually give a fuck about queers.

But then again, the festival venue (MUZIEKGIETERIJ) has an "all inclusive" speil in their terms and conditions, so maybe the festival organisers are being put under pressure from them, who knows? Or maybe they're just wimps 🤷

Some festivals have banned bullet belts and spikes/studs larger than 1cm for years, so technically they already are 

They have also urged people not to wear anything that represents extremist religious or political views for years too. But that doesn't stop people from walking around with shirts that say "Jesus is a cunt"!

All Inclusive to some people! The fuckin stupidity is mind boggling really. Also, re the pride flags for queers thing at least they can say they care about the pink pound and stuff, but who exactly are these fuckin eejits pandering to?

oh no not the Burzum shirts that have exactly nothing offensive about them

Boycotts would be nice for both this and the only thing more offensive, which is dynamic pricing

[Giggles]

Boycotts would be nice for this

Be better if everybody showed up in a Burzum shirt 

I read some of the fb comments there, fucking hell, get a load of this guy replying to somebody who asked how the hell Burzum are a nsbm band:

he is a goddamn fashist and murderer. If that doesnt bother you, it doesnt speaks for you. Sure, go on with that "separat art from artist" BS for a fashists work and give him all the atention he can get and help him mske a living from it. At best while blasting R.Kelly at full volumen because the music is not "rapist", he? Lost Prophet next? Who cares about morals? Let help the fashist get into the nainstream even more and give them all the opirtunities they can get for networking and spreeding theire hate even more. The dudes with the same ideology that destroied all the "entartete Kunst" back in the day? No tolerance for intolerance. Simple as that.

It must have taken four or five of them smashing their combined brain cells together to come up with that level of insight.

[Caomhaoin]

What the fuck is 'entartete kunst'

I'm picturing Varg waiting impatiently for his next Burzum cheque to clear so he can spread some more online racism.
