I get info sent to me regarding classic rock or older metal and I saw a followup on an article about a black teenage girl who had a Metallica shirt on in one of her videos and all the "mean messages" she got. Of course the mean messages were simply people asking what she knew about Metallica or to name a song. The article I saw was a followup saying that she "clapped back" (hate that term) at the trolls by playing a classic Metallica song on her guitar. I no longer follow that site by the way.

I swear within woke/sjw media there are some tried and true scripts. This one reminds me of the ones who get angry because they are huge fans of an IP but get angry when someone asks them about their favorite comic book, character, book, etc.

I guarantee you a white teenage male would probably get asked what he knows about Metallica if he wore their shirt. She could've simply talked about how much she liked the band and moved on. Anyone with any online presence will get hate messages more mean spirited one. I remember Jeremy from Geeks & Gamers talked about the death threats or racist messages they get, but they move on and nobody is going to write some sobbing article about them.

I love classic country and my favorite country artist is Hank Williams Sr. I have gotten some odd looks years back when I would buy the cds but people would ask me how I got into him and I told them. Is that so hard? I made some friends that way as well. Just like a lady asked me how I knew about Zeppelin when I wore my Zeppelin shirt. in middle school my older brother told me that the rap music I listened to was all sampled from older stuff, and that made me go out and listen to old school funk/R&B and I had plenty of adults ask me what I knew about those groups.

As a nerd I love it when people ask me why Superman or Spiderman are my favorite characters, why I can't shut up about the greatness of Skyrim, why you should read the Expanded Universe books and ignore Disney Star Wars, and the list goes on. I swear some people are fueled by their need to feel like a victim.
