Doesn't seem very metal to me, being a long time metal head.

Strange, I'm perfectly able to enjoy metal without resorting to misogynistic slurs, but maybe I'm the odd one out here.

That stigma is really only a US thing. British people say it left and right all the time

You're damn right. If I found out that any cunt around here has been using misogynistic slurs, I'm going to let them know what I think of them.

Stigma isn't even the word. You wouldn't say there's a stigma associated with using ethnic slurs, or homophobic slurs, so why should misogyny get a pass?

True, the only problematic thing about this is the exact slur they used. You can perfectly state that they are a-holes, dimwits etc. but some slurs are so minority focused I get why you shouldn't use them. And yet, a perma ban for that? Bit hard, bro.
