My grandmother is racist. I still love her. Point is, why the fuck should you care about the bands' opinions or messages? Secondly, you've now dismissed the use of both the word "gay" and the word "faggot". Quite frankly, these were words long before someone decided to use them as labels for sexual preference. Faggot connotes smallness, or brittleness. Gay means festive and exuberant. You can go home and sleep with three dozen women, but if afterwards you put on a pink shirt and tailored pants, you're still gay. If you're a skinny weakling, you're a faggot.

Never try to battle words, it's pointless. If you need to stand up for your beliefs (which I encourage) then ignore the words and instead take a stand against the ACTIONS.



toggletoggle post by ArrowHead  at Mar 7,2005 6:44pm
By the way, I'm not trying to start trouble, just making a point. I've been forwarned by far too many people that I should moderate and temper my comments at this show for fear of upsetting fans and promoters. I sing heavy metal music because I have a message and a point to make, and it's a violent and angry one. I've never really considered metal a proper medium for positivity and politically correctness, and can't understand when people try to force such values onto it.

Again, I'm just debating. I mean no disrespect, and I WILL be watching what I say at the show out of respect for you giving us the opportunity. Just letting you know that sometimes the people you disagree with MIGHT have a valid stance, and the intellect to back it up. Hey, isn't that what makes the music so compelling?



toggletoggle post by adam_time   at Mar 8,2005 12:31am
of course i meant no offense, i'm not the kind to "discriminate" or "judge". obviously it was a joke, but how can you understand something unless you can have humor? i make fun of myself just as much if not more than anyone else.

toggletoggle post by jonah at Mar 8,2005 1:06am
"why the fuck should you care about the bands' opinions or messages? "

I probably put at least 35 hours a week into my show booking/record label. Its more or less a third part time job for me. Considering all the work I put into it, why would I want to pomote and pay bands that I dont see eye to eye with? I'm not saying you have to be my best friend, but if I spent all this time flyering and finding venues just to have a band spout ignorant shit I'd be pretty fucking insulted. In most cases putting a band on a bill is a favor, as I hardly make any money at this, and the least they can do is respect the space they are playing in. (in this case a community center)

For the record I'm all for letting out aggression and anger with music, but there's no excuse for ignorance and idiocy. I'm not "battling" words, I'm more so offering alternatives. You can go anywhere in MA hear kids rant about homophobic/sexist/racist bullshit, but why not try something different and run shows where people of all walks of life feel welcome. Also, If I offer a band a show, that doesn't mean I'm "forcing" values onto them. You don't have to play this show if you don't want to.

I know your not starting shit and im all for talking about this stuff. If you want to talk more in person thats totally cool. I'm not sure what the valid stance is behind words that seriously hurt people, but hey, we can chat.

Also, I normally email all the bands and let them know about my thoughts on shows and this kind of stuff, but this was so last minute I didn't think of it. Hopefully things run well none the less.

Jonah, of course things will go smoothly, I already gave you my word.

As far as "battling" words, I wasn't really referring to the show and standards. I was talking about this thread. If words like gay and faggot bother you due to thier homosexual connotations, then speaking up when people use such words will only fuel the fire. As I pointed out earlier, One cannot fight the words, but one can EASILY dissasociate the words from thier hurtful intents. Especially words like gay, faggot, nigger, and other words that have been completely removed from thier actual meaning. In fact, it's probably more ignorant to assign such words to thier slanderous alternative meanings than it is to use them freely with no ill will intended.




toggletoggle post by Jonah at Mar 8,2005 7:23pm
The homosexual connotation doesn't bother me at all, its the negative connotation that sucks. no one calls someone a "fag" with no ill will intended, its obviously usually a put down. and thats a bum out.

As far as what I can do about it, there isn't much. The best I can think of is trying to lead by example and not encouraging or promoting homophobia/racism/sexism.



toggletoggle post by ArrowHead  at Mar 8,2005 8:14pm
But that's the point. Faggot has always had a connotation of weakness.

A faggot in actuality is a bundle of sticks used as kindling wood. People in europe refer to ciggarettes as "fags". Long before uncloseted homosexuality became the norm, faggot was used in slang to refer towards anything small, weak, brittle, or diminutive.

When ignorance prevailed, homosexuality was considered weakness. Therefore the labeling of faggot. If you want to feel better, than don't call people that like homosexual sex faggots. However, you need to also learn yourself how to remove that connotation in your OWN mind.

Really, why DID you assume that the "everyones gay" idea was homophobic? Literally read, the slogan means "everyone is happy and having a good time". We all have stereotypes and connections we have to learn to think around. It just seems to me that you're so blinded by those of others, you've completely missed your own.



toggletoggle post by ArrowHead  at Mar 8,2005 8:16pm
By the way, this thread has gone way off topic, but this show is going to be SICK!

We played with locked in a vacancy out in NY. I bought a cd, and they're nice guys.

Also, I've been dying to play with nicaea room. I honestly think we've been trying to play with these guys since I first joined the band.




toggletoggle post by JonahBloodbath   at Mar 8,2005 9:22pm
A. I really don't need a lecture on the meaning of these words. I know what a faggot is etc.. I'm not sure why your trying to make it sound like I have a problem and if I ignore these hurtful words then they will stop being hurtful. Homophobia is a huge problem for a lot of people and pretending that whenever some jock yells "stop being such a fag" he's talking about a brittle bundle of sticks doesn't do shit.

Also, I didn't assume "everyone is gay" was homophobic, thats why I asked what he meant. Obviously he wasn't using the "happy" definition, but I know adam and he's a chill dude, so I was just curious.

B. I'm also pretty psyched for this show. I've never seen your band or nicaea room so I'm pumped for both of you. LIAV and Within the fray are always awesome so I know i'll enjoy myself no matter what!
