I'm not Asian or whatever, but if I'm talking about someone from Asia I might say they're East Asian, or South Asian, or Central Asian, or Southeast Asian, or Middle Eastern, and as far as I always knew Oriental was just an old-fashioned synonym for East Asian. I didn't even know it was supposed to be "bad." It's all kind of pointless to argue about anyway, because it's not the word that matters but the intent behind it. Saying "that guy is Hungarian" is totally normal and fine, but saying "that guy is Hungarian" while making a face of disgust and practically spitting the ethnicity is obviously concerning regardless of the specific words used.

The iron cross symbolizes bravery in combat and is awarded to US, German and Canadian (known as the "Victoria Cross") military members. The Iron cross has also been in use by multiple armies and militias throughout history. It does not symbolize "nazism" or "racism" at all. In fact the US was using the symbol at the same time as Germany during WW2. About the guy wearing the flag shirt, that is not the confederate flag but I'm not getting into that whole side of history. To sum it up that flag on his shirt was a battle flag used by smaller armies and most notably a variation of the flag was used in the state of Virgina as a battle flag. James doing the "nazi march" was completely done in purpose and was not serious at all in fact it was most likely satirical. The band is also not a bunch of old white dudes as Robert and Kirk are both of foreign descent. Kirk being Fillipino and Robert being Mexican. To sum it up everything she has said to try and smear Metallica was all lies. She just has a problem with metal and old white dudes.

The thing about cancel culture is that it prevents individuals from learning from their mistakes and growing.

[@NovastarDoughnut]

I think greater than that the idea of "cancel culture" is kinda bunk for everyone but a selected few. If you're an individual or a youtuber or someone whose fanbase follows you for your authenticity, then it can outright kill your career (so many youtubers have been killed by youtube drama). If you have a relatively low but influential position, then yeah, it's a threat. But for all above a certain level (or for those who do something very wrong like your weinstiens and louie CKs), then it's kinda nonsense. JK Rowling is an admitted transphobe and makes no secret of it, and still profits, Phil Anselmo said white power and made his brand being a nazi and pantera still performs, a load of the comedians who claim they "got canceled" got back up on stage then wrote and produced entire shows about how they can't say anything anymore and how "thier freedom to challenge" has been taken away (because yeah I think the people dave chapelle and Ricky Gervais, needed to challenge are the trans ones. Had it too good for too long, I think), and they still have platforms where they complain about not having one while media gives them so much attention. My point is the bigger they are the harder they are to fall.

As said before the iron cross was adopted by Germany in WW1, which I think was a Keltic symbol fearless in battle. It’s used to this day all over to represent battling an addiction. James has that right as a recovering addict. The context of a lot of this is why they are still around. Whatever song they are performing is about a deep subject most want to shy away from.

Interesting that she says Metallica didn't take addiction seriously until James went to rehab when the song that's blown up again from stranger things is literally about how drugs ruin your life.

[@TheEvilKingStan]

@@fromulus I think this insult came more from a place of personal anger than not taking addiction seriously. Both these bands were close personally and Alice in chains had to drop out of that tour with Metallica because of his addiction. Also, James is quoted as having the lyrics to death magnetic be a sort of tribute to Layne. If anything, it looks like growth to me.

[@B3AN5]

Thing is I think that clip she shows very briefly is part of a performance of master of puppets, a song about drugs so the movement of heroin needles into your arm is pretty fitting I’d say

[@MrMalve25]

Yea I don't see how it It was a reference to Lane, they were playing Master of Puppets and the gesture was with regards to a line from the song I believe "Needlework the way" though it is hard to tell from the clip. Edit: so I looked up the actual clip online and yes it was a clip the mid nineties, where they were playing Man in the Box. So yea it likely was a dig at AIC. They had to drop out of the tour due to Layne's drug issues. Keep in mind the members of Metallica were dealing with their own addiction issues at the time, so not and excuse, but still can see how it happens.

[@flatridefanatic]

Trying to cancel actions from years ago is like trying to hold yourself accountable for stupid shit you did as a child.

Many of the "bad" things she uncovered during this three minutes of video were intended as provocation by Metallica in the first place, because provocation was a motif for press attention back in the days or can as well as seen as artistical concept like Kafkaeque themes, which is a main concept in metal music from the beginning. Black Sabbath portrayed an artificial killing machine as victim of its own creators and taking revenge. Leather whips and soothing pain were introducted by Judas Priest at least as imagery. Edgyness as well as what is nowadays called "Rockstar Lifestyle" was just a promotional gesture for record sales and part of the business during the 80s and went out of fashion in the 90s or shifted toward other topics. You just had to be the opposite of mother-in-law's darling. Nowadays it is almost edgy if you are such a darling in the metal scene.
