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
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?
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.
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.
‘Cunt’ isn’t minority focused though

More fragile than based.
Way too brittle to be metal. Should be called r/glassmemes.
How often do you wear a fedora?
…And you’re on an instance called “aussie zone”. Isn’t cunt practically a term of endearment down there?
It’s as brotherly as throwing some shrimps on the barby!
That’s a weird way to spell prawns.
It can go either way. I mostly use it on inanimate objects that have injured me.
So, essentially, “cunt” can refer to anything, good or bad, in Australia.
Kinda like ass in USA
Or Aloha
Or marklar on Marklar
I’ve never heard ass refer to anything positive other than actual asses, anything else has a negative connotation.
He’s a bad ass. What a kick ass way to dance.

Ah yes, an aussie in their natural dialect that only their friends and family speak.
I got a 6 day ban from reddit for telling a mod in r/funny that it’s not right to judge a person for posting a meme in a different sub. Which is what convinced me to make an account on Lemmy
I’m not saying it warranted a ban, but if someone is posting transphobic memes in another sub, they should be judged for that.
Yeah but that’s different. That’s hate
I got a 6 day ban for say Nazis should be punched. I’m sorry, but it was also in the context of when they ran over that girl with the car at the rally.
Doesn’t matter the context, imo, nazis always deserve to be punched.
It’s somehow normal to call anyone a -phobe or an -ist for pretty much any reason, or just by an unrelated assumption. You can’t be surprised if some people don’t appreciate it.
Don’t want to be called an -ist or a -phobe, maybe don’t act like one? I don’t get called either, but I don’t act like either.
You see how that works?
Lucky, but no that’s not always how it works. I will not elaborate here further.
I have been found out in my ruse, so I will seek silence as a means to keep from further degradation of my argument. I will provide no examples, and take no questions. Good day.

“Please respond.”
I wasn’t addressing an individual, see screenshot.
Why don’t you edit the post to add the screenshot into the body of the post message? Your screenshot is lost in the comments and this makes no sense to me why you did this.
Metal memes is a shit tier sub anyway, you ain’t missing nothing.
What are the alternatives? I’ll happily subscribe. Reddit is dying a slow death, and I haven’t found a new place to get metal suggestions or news
I mean if you want news and suggestions I don’t think metal memes was the right sub in the first place. I haven’t looked in a couple weeks but Lemmy’s got some metal communities. Idk how active they are because I listen to power metal and there wansnt a power metal community when I looked. So I guess look for a general metal community (there’s one on Lemmy.world) and from there communities more specific to your genre tastes. There’s also a metal memes community on Lemmy.world if you want the memes.
C U Next Tuesday
What a poser move of them.
The C word is for shouting at traffic, with your windows roiled up. It’s not for using on public forums, or really anywhere else.
Grow up, op.Lol. Don’t come to Australia! We dole that shit out like Oprah! “You’re a cunt, and you’re a cunt, and you’re a cunt. Everybody’s a cunt!”
Australia also doesn’t mean what the rest of the world means when using that word. :D
Ive always thought of memes as 1 panel comic strips. Id assume that people that need their information cut up into toddler size pieces and spoonfed may have trouble tying their shoes. I avoid any meme related stuff for this reason. Seems the quality of discourse is similar to the quality of content.
Jesse, what the hell are you talking about?
1- why are you still on Reddit? 2- I kind of agree with them. You can be metal without being an ass.
Imagine censoring curse words online…
A curse word toward an inanimate object or an animal I’m okay with. A curse word against a group, and a curse word related to said group I’m not okay with. That curse word may have one meaning in your social group, but this is an international community and we need to be acknowledging that certain things may be interpreted differently by others.
You aren’t an ass because you aren’t tolerant towards intolerant people.
One you can be an ass without being misogynistic, but you can’t be misogynistic without being an ass.
You’re not fighting intolerance by using a misogynistic slur.
It’s as “bad” as using “dick”, which you wouldn’t give two shits about. In fact, you yourself recently used “dicking around”, which I guess should be, by your own logic, not okay. Right? After all it’s about wasting time, so it has negative connotations, which you’re applying to the male sex.
Also, he’s from Australia. Stop bringing your stupid US crap into everything please.
The problem isn’t that it’s crude and refers to sex organs. The problem is that it’s misogynistic. When someone says “cunt” or “pussy” or “bitch”, they are saying “You are acting like a woman, and being a woman is bad.”
I didn’t say that the problem was that it is crude and you seem to completely missed the point, or act willfully obtuse so you can argue in bad faith.
“Crying like a bitch” does not refer to women at all, it refers to a female dog. The full phrase is “crying like a bitch in heat” and refers to the whining female dogs do when they’re in heat.
Ah yes, reddit going the twitter route.

Cunt seems to be one of their no no words over there. I’ve cursed up and down all over the place, but the moment I call someone a cunt I get banned from the sub I’m on.
Now I feel bad for the Aussies…
It’s a pretty fun word to yell. Kinda like fuck. Shit. removed (mods apparently won’t let you say betch. Also TIL they can change what you wrote, as if that isn’t censorship). Damn. Pretty much all of the one syllable curse words can be screamed at maximum volume, which I really enjoy
Wait, a mod changed what you wrote here?? Or on Reddit?

Okay thanks for the clarification!
