Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

Depends on. Some places of the metal community outdo gaming toxicity-wise, especially pre-2010s.
Crazy, I've been to a couple hundred metal shows and never heard anyone say the N word. No one's ever threatened to kill me or my family. Never heard anyone going around the crowed telling women to get the fuck back in the kitchen.... like the fuck you mean?
I'm jealous of you, but maybe a lot of it comes from me being older, and some of those toxic elders either got reformed, or left the scene entirely.
In my experience, the gatekeeping and unhealthy drinking habits are the most toxic aspects of it.
