HATE everyone bashing him.
his wife is a groomer, she started dating him when he was 17 and she was 25. they married when he was 19, he didnt get the chance to figure himself out.
so happy for him and "disease" is my favorite beartooth song to this day.
The metal scene is rife with toxic masculinity and bro culture at the moment.
I need you guys to understand just how big it is that Caleb is an openly gay man making metal music.
I am so incredibly proud of him.
The Caleb Shomo discourse is a sad reminder of how behind the curve Metal Music is
Nearly all other genres celebrate LGBTQIA+ representation and inclusivity. It’s almost exclusively metal that is this far behind and negative
Why does this happen every time
at first you google 10 words every page. then it’s more like 7 words. then 5. soon, you only google a word or two every couple of pages, and later it’s once or twice every book. building your vocabulary takes time but it also opens up a world of opportunities and understanding.
Horror is misunderstood ,it's much more than gore and Jumpscares. It's emotion under pressure , grief, guilt ,paranoia, loneliness ,survival, obsession, etc. Some of the most creative cinematography, sound design ,practical effects ,& story telling choices happen in horror
just saw a girl get accused of "larping" on a video of her literally playing the game bc "you're only playing it now that it's mainstream". what rock do you live under to apparently think that resident evil is niche and unknown
It’s not your expression, it’s a machine given words that it uses to create a consensus of how other people have expressed it. Expression is your voice, not the voices of others serrated and dragged through a machine made to mimic your mouth. You express nothing, you forfeit your voice to allow the rest of humanity to speak for you. Here, you even say the ultimate goal is the erasure of human voices. Your “expression” leads to a lack of humanity, not a furtherance of it. Every iteration and invention of art has found new ways to allow us to culminate the human experience through sensation, but generative AI is cancer, it’s the cells of what we’ve already built spinning ad nauseam until all we “make” is what others have already made. It’s a dead end and lifeless, and goes against whatever spirit, soul, or God gave us the gift of creation in the first place.
The entire point of authoritarianism, police states and fascism is that they are obsessed with aesthetics, control and not actually having any substance or principles and this is how they get people to cooperate through surface level looks and violent coercion... Media literacy..
They started small. Little price bumps here, a subscription there. Said it was inflation… supply chains… whatever excuse fit the headline that day. I watched as they turned gaming—from something built on passion—into a machine. A machine fueled by drained wallets, locked content, and players chasing experiences they already paid for.
Saw it happen. Saw ‘em normalize it.
Now look at it. PlayStation 5 prices going up years after launch. Games costing more. Subscriptions stacked on subscriptions. And they still want more.
They’ve already taken ownership of what we play, how we play it… now they’re coming for why we play.
This ain’t about nostalgia. Ain’t about ‘the good old days’ of gaming. This is about control. About a system that keeps tightening its grip until playing becomes a privilege instead of a right.
You think it stops at a price hike? It doesn’t. It never does.
This is a player’s war. Against a system that feeds on loyalty and gives back less every time. Against the slow death of creativity, buried under monetization models and quarterly targets.
And yeah… if that means pushing back—boycotting, calling it out, refusing to play along—then that’s what it takes.
Because if we don’t?
One day you’ll boot up your console… and realize the game was never meant for you anymore.
You don’t see it yet.
But you will.
i get people will take any opportunity they can to dunk on a problematic band but calling out ice nine kills for doing blackface when it’s actually a black man and not a white man in makeup is diabolical
wait until the english speakers find out about our other iconic phrases like
"dressed like a rat for the grand sewer opening"
"free is a fair price"
"for free even vinegar is sweet"
"looks like shit, and tastes even better"
"place where dogs bark with their asses"
i think people need to take the palestinian genocide more seriously and not just use it as a punchline to call things they dont like 'spiritually israeli'. people are dying
