Haven't heard much of them, but I do remember that "Counting all the assholes in the room, well I'm definitely not alone" song from a few years ago, which was…an amusing line.

I'm all for ragging on George Lucas when he deserves it, but…come on, everybody knows the whole point of that scene was that Han was just bullshitting.

Idiots?

Modular words are my favorite thing about German. The word for "tool" literally translates to "work-thing". The word for "car" is "travel-thing". "Employer" is "work-giver". It's amusing in a kind of simplistic, but useful way. I think it's awesome.

People who call themselves "Satanists" are doing so in jest. They're not actually people who worship the evil dude from Christianity. It's either about getting religious people's goat, or else it's something like LaVeyan "Satanism" which is more like Objectivism with the serial numbers filed off. There are no people…

Gene Simmons is just a greedy, fucking disgusting, lecherous, sex-addict degenerate who judges other people for having personal demons that he was fortunate enough to never have to deal with, and thinks music is not art, but purely a business. He's a horrible human being, but he's about as Jewish as a person can…

Dude, this guy is one of the biggest fucking douchebags on this entire site. Take nothing that he says seriously.

People who use "snowflake" as an insult really do need to realize that Fight Club is 18 years old now, and not edgy anymore.

I agree with all this, and can I also insert my opinion that "millennial" is a stupid, shitty word too?

My honest opinion on free speech? I think the Founding Fathers specifically intended "free speech" to mean the right to criticize the government. That was what they couldn't do in England, that they wanted to preserve the right to do here. I think people understood what they meant by "free speech" at the time, but it…

acting like Milo is going to hurt everybody if allowed to speak is indeed leftist extremism, college-division.

Nightwish fucking rules. I'll admit, Metallica and Nightwish (along with other symphonic bands that are similar to Nightwish) are probably the only metal I listen to now. I'll take the good-natured ribbing, but I'm a rock and roll guy at heart, not a metalhead.

Mustaine did go full-on immigrant-hating Trumpist dicknozzle, huh? Really sad considering Rust in Peace was one of the greatest anti-war albums ever. I want to shove that album in his face and say "Remember when you ranted about 'Brother will kill brother, spilling blood across the land, killing for religion,…

True question though: don't we all wish Hitler had been a GOOD painter?

I feel like anti-Russia rhetoric in the US right now is more about its leaders than the people. I mean, there's obviously a lot of bigotry in the US right now, but I don't think most of us have a problem with the Russian people, just fucksticks like Putin. And I do believe he's trying to make a power grab in the…

I can believe that AVC will get around to reviewing anything, eventually, but the needledick hipsters at Pitchfork and prog go together like a fork and an outlet.

Yeah, I always thought the whole point of AVClub is knowing a little about a lot, so I can believe that the author has enough familiarity to at least speak somewhat knowledgeably about metal. Whereas, metalheads generally (which is their biggest flaw, IMO) know a lot about a little.

I agree with this. "Ironic" bigotry is bigotry. A decent person wouldn't even want to pretend to be racist.

Exactly!

Well, opinions will vary (wildly!) on that, but I don't think it's unethical. Mostly, I think everyone's entitled to their opinion, but there are a very narrow set of beliefs that I think shouldn't be met politely in a decent society. Briefly, I'd say, beliefs that are hostile to other people because of factors about…
