Actually, the New Yorker does just fine with all of that. They just don't do humor especially well.

Demanding=Talking About. Good to know.

I really want someone to write a song about this now ala Rush's "Red Barchetta":
They say we used to rock in peace
Before the one guy wrote his piece…
Now the government's locked us up.

This too: whether or not Wood Sword realizes it, his (or her!) argument has now become NOTHING TO SEE HERE! Which is one of the least metal arguments of all.

…because one guy wrote something about it.

HEY, THIS GUY'S GOT A POINT! SINCE NOT EVERYBODY DOES, NOBODY DOES! YOU CAN ALL STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS NOW!

EDM, I might *not* be surprised: it's music for mobs.

Oh, how true: except for the "generalization" part. At no point in the article was there anything even approximating the statement "AND ALL BLACK METAL BANDS DO THIS, AS WE ALL KNOW."

LOOK OUT, DUDE! THIS GUY'S ALREADY MADE YOUR ARGUMENT FOR YOU, AND FUCKED IT THE FUCK UP, BRODEN! YOU'LL NEVER WIN (which you can't, because it doesn't exist)!

HIS IS A NOBEL PRESUIT!

Well, and I agree that slippery slopes are horseshit. I'm just thinking you can still make Milo look like shit more efficiently by letting Milo talk than any other method.

There is -and I think we've already seen plenty of it today- plenty of feeling ganged-up on in advance among the Metal Folk. They've spent plenty of time being actually blamed for plenty of shit that ain't their fault at all, true. But you wanna see serious cognitive dissonance? Try to unpack all the homoeroticism

Is your counter-argument that since Not Everyone is doing (whatever), then No One is?

Aw, but MAN! He knocked us all out again, with his "Lol What?" NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR ARGUMENT IS, YOU'LL ALWAYS LOSE TO 'LOL WHUT!' IT'S JUST SCIENCE!

Careful, CAREFUL! He's gonna whip out his "ahahaha" again, and win the argument!

Yeah, I was liking an above argument about how since there's legal parameters for Libel and Slander, why indeed can't you legislate against Hate Speech? And of course, to an extent, we do.
I'm still more for the marginalize the Milos approach than riot against him, but you're right: all he speaks is worthless, and no

Okay, so if there was a genre of music -however "fringe" they might be- that "jokingly" often spoke of the need to exterminate all Aran'Gar, you'd have a fucking problem with it, right?

Well, I didn't outright castigate anyone's entire community, so I feel like I'm in the clear on that one. To say that some people are nazis still isn't the same as saying that everyone is.
And there's a difference between the "prevarications" quoted in the article and "a clearly defined defense." Again, they're not

HE SAID "ahahahahaha!" ARGUMENT: WON!

Noisey does.
