So, as well as subbed to this Community, I’m also moderator of !globalorderofsatan@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is a Community for an atheistic Satanist organisation I’m a member of.
We recently (re)launched our Satan Not Hatin’ campaign which we’re running to try and tackle the incidents of hate (racism, homophobia, transphobia and Nazi shit etc) that sadly some metal bands put out. The campaign isn’t just for metal bands, we also cover punk/goth/industrial/alt/indie too but the emphasis is metal bands. It’s early days, but it’ll continue to grow.
If you’d like to read more and see how you can help (if you’d like to) please visit the page or if you want to skip straight to the music, there’s a playlist on YouTube | Invidious | Piped.
Tackle, reclaim…these are marketing terms. How does the campaign operate? Reading between the lines I guess venues are supposed to feel pressure not to hire certain bands based on SNH paraphernalia being all over the place.
Can I listen to metal bands with hatred as a theme/inspiration and not ‘be’ a hater, or does that not fly in these circles?
You can do whatever you want mate, just take the stick out of your arse first. No one’s being pressured to do anything.
