I think some people aren't really understanding, it's not about corporations actually giving a fuck. They never did. It's moreso an indicator that it *used to* be seen as profitable to signal allyship, but that's just not the case anymore, which is sincerely concerning

Mind you, a bunch of girls are traumatized including a (previously??? Currently????) 13 YEAR OLD and yall are turning this into a meme/a joke to yap about on socials
Aside from *everything* that is fucked about this whole situation it's so cringe that they're still talking like this is a meme "my fault slimes" be normal for like FIVE SECONDS
disrespectfully, if you see women talking about casual misogyny and your first instinct is to use their favourite band as a counterpoint you are exactly the demographic that we talk about when we discuss casual misogyny in music scenes
women: *general statement about how things liked by predominantly women get shat on disproportionally, incl in metal, without mentioning specific bands*
men: “but youre a sleep token fan! hating on you and st isnt misogyny! here, let me mansplain casual misogyny to you :)”
And in the past the same was true for Black Veil Brides, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce the Veil, and Asking Alexandria. Men feel threatened by hot men making music that hot girls like. Honestly its incel-adjacent behavior.
people love to act like this isnt a thing as if misogyny isnt severely ingrained into every aspect of society.
things liked by predominantly women getting shat on and women in male-dominated scenes/hobbies getting shat on happens everywhere. metal isnt magically immune to that.
