Idiot on facebook wants METAL to be banned.

Lo and behold, me searching "Ban Metal" on facebook, got me this lovely Gem. It's a site run by a "Jesus Freak" who is singling out all metal for being "noisy screamy satanic trash".  Not that he has listened to any REAL metal that's not Metalcore, or Nu-Metal mind you, but still idiots like this piss me off.

Let me quote some of his nonsense, and then debunk it.

"Music should not be used to spread hatred and devil-worship!
It should be pure, harmonious and a joy to listen to for all ages.
It upsets me that screaming and songs about hell make it to the airwaves and before long, the media will be full of this filth!"

So metal is now spreading hatred and Devil-Worship. And it isn't "pure, harmonious and a joy to listen to to all ages".

Ahem:

Every single one of these bands is A) NOT satanic, and doesn't write songs about Hate all that much or at all. If this doesn't suit the fundies, then a list of all the non-satanic Bands in Metal might due:
(in parentheses is the lyrical subjects)

Iron Maiden (history/fiction)
Death (philosophy)
Iced Earth (fiction)
Blind Guardian (fiction/fantasy)
Testament (societal issues)
Anthrax (societal issues)
Metallica (societal issues)
Megadeth (societal issues)
Helloween (don't be fooled by the title, they are NOT satanic - Fantasy is what they write about)
Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire (same band - Fantasy is what they write about)
Dio (Fantasy)
Judas Priest (rebellion/love/history/etc)
Primal Fear (societal issues)
Gamma Ray (societal issues)
Manticora (fiction)
Ensiferum (epic poetry from finland)
Korpiklaani (pagan themes from finland, NOT satanic)
Eluveitie (history/pagan themes)
Einherjer (Norse Mythology/Vikings)
Tyr (Norse Mythology/Vikings)
Dream Theater (Societal Issues/Fiction)
Fates Warning (Societal Issues/Fiction/History)
Queensryche (Societal Issues/Fiction)
Voivod (weird art like lyrics that are cryptic)
Vintersorg (ditto)
Communic (history/etc)
Katatonia (dark depressing lyrics)
My Dying Bride (dark depressing lyrics)
Paradise Lost (dark depressing lyrics)
Rapture (dark depressing lyrics)
Anathema (dark depressing lyrics)
Amorphis (dark depressing lyrics)

Now for some Death Metal bands that are NOT satanic:

Hypocrisy (Alien Abductions/Conspiraces/etc)
Amon-Amarth (Vikings/Norse Mythology. Anti-christian, sure, but that's the way Vikings Were in real life, christians tried
to brainwash them at sword point to be Christ Worshippers back in the middle ages)
At the Gates (Nihilism)
Opeth (depressing subjects)
Dark Tranquility (Society)
In Flames (Society/History)
Many others I won't name that are Melodic Death Metal or Progressive Death Metal.
Only GORE-METAL, and Brutal Death metal have SOME satanic bands, not a whole lot:


Both of my bands (even though they are extreme)Caustic Euphony (Fiction/Societal Issues/Anti-Censorship)
Unleashing Vengeance (Non-Serious Lyrics/Anti-Censorship/Brainwashing/Corruption/Political/
Fiction/etc)

The Following bands are Christian Metal:

Black Sabbath
Candlemass
Steel Attack
Extol (and it's BLACK METAL!)
Stryper

Black Metal Bands without Satanic Themes
Behemoth
Enslaved
Borknagar


Bands with strong anti-religious sentiments that are NOT satanic:
Kreator
Destruction

Now for Satanic Bands:

Non-Black Metal
Slayer
Mercyful Fate
Venom

Possessed
Danzig
Vader


Black Metal
Mayhem
Emporer
Darkthrone
Burzum
Dark Funeral
Dimmu Borgir
Old Mans Child


Those are just mainstream bands. In that list 13 are satanic and <drumroll> 48 are NOT!

As for "screaming" which I assume is extreme vocal styles like Death and Black Metal:
34 out of  61 are extreme metal bands. 27 are non-extreme. Even though extreme outnumbers non-extreme It's still really close and saying ALL metal bands are "screamers" is stupid.

Now for another point:

A lot of "metal" being played on the radio is not metal at all.
It's either Punk, Nu-Metal (really a kind of alternative), Hard Rock, Shock Rock, Industrial, etc.

Marilyn Manson = Shock Rock/Industrial
Ministry = Industrial
Lamb of God = Metalcore (A kind of Punk with metal influences, NOT metal)
Trivium = Metalcore
Bullet  for my Valentine = Metalcore
Tons of other bands like that = Metalcore
Slipknot = Nu-Metal (A kind of alternative)
System of a Down = Nu-Metal
Rage against the machine = Rock with Rap vocals! NOT Metal
Limp Bizkit = Same Thing
GWAR = Shock Rock
Kiss = Rock
Led Zeppelin = Rock
Van Halen = Rock
Ac/dc = Rock
Fear Factory = Industrial

A LOT of Popular bands classified under metal are NOT metal at all. The really good bands that are metal are very unpopular and thus would have never even been played on the radio at all! This person claims that : "screaming and songs about hell make it to the airwaves". He's probably hearing crap like the above bands, and a lot of these above bands suck! Even I think that, and I'm a metalhead!
Either he's mistaken by above bands and has never heard any REAL metal, or he's an idiot using bands like that to scapegoat all metal as Evil. 

More crap from him:

"hey kids... one day ya'll grow up, and you'll realize that your life don't suck and you'll be ashemed of the loyal headbangers you were... release yourself,and go listen to other kinds of music, wtf, fucking fat teens hating life n' stuff... i know that you sing that song that you curse, so release yourself fat "sad" kid, Stop trying to be tough listen to this just because you can't beat the bullys... so get up and become one of them, it's just a matter of effort."

So our life sucks because were metalheads! WTF! He is demanding we listen to other forms of music. Then he calls us all fat teens who hate life. What the hell is this idiot smoking. 

"I don't know if any of you have seen this new video by the slayers, it's abhorrent #spreadingawareness"

This "Video" is from 1986! IT'S NOT NEW YOU IDIOT! That's not #Spreadingawareness, that's #IMAFUCKINGIDIOT

 "I recently discoverd a progressive death metal band by the name of Amen. Needless tosay my interest was peaked -'Amen' is one of the most sacred words one can say in the name of the Lord (Jesus) When I heard the music I cannot describe how angry I felt - I immediately ran to my loving wife and gave her a stern telling off for no reason. When I finally came too I was in a hospital bed. Apparently I had a 'hate attack' triggered by the repugnant tones of this sinful band. This music is hatred incarnate - #BANMETAL"

So he is saying it's evil because it's death metal? What kind of idiot says that? So the music made him angry? What kind of moron is this?

"The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

I believe a Christian band has infiltrated your legions of debauched heathens and shall be preaching the word of the Lord at one of your terrible concerts, I shall most certainly be there front and centre

 So he is calling, Accept, Anthrax, Sabaton (A Power Metal band FFS!), Avantasia (Rock Opera! band), Amorphis, Wolfsbane, Last in Line (Dio Tribute), and KING DIAMOND Heathens? To him Any metal band must be a heathen!


"Metal should be banned for many reasons. Some of them are:

1. It all sounds the same.
2. It's all just screaming.
3. It causes school shootings.
4. It distracts young people away from the one true path of Christ our savior.
5. Satan is bad and Metal is bad for being satanic.
6. Long hair is for girls."

1 - This idiot thinks all metal sounds the same. Well..... He's only heard NU-METAL, which is crap played on the radio which isn't even metal at all, but shitty alternative. He's never heard Melodeath, Folk Metal, Power Metal, Prog Metal, Progressive Thrash Metal, Doom Metal, Viking Metal, or Black Metal, or Progressive Black Metal. Each genre sounds radically different from the other. 

Melodeath - Brutally heavy, yet lots of melody, harsh vocals, simple riffs mostly.
Folk Metal - Massively Varied Genre, each band sounds radically different from the other because Folk Music is very varied and so is metal, so when you get one band combining one form of folk music with another form of metal it will sound different from a folk metal band using different forms of folk and metal. Ensiferum is Finnish Folk mixed with Melodic Death Metal. Korpiklaani mixes Finnish "Humpa" polka-like music with Thrash Metal. Finntroll mixes that with Black Metal. 
Power Metal - High Pitched non-screaming vocals, fast guitars, epic melodies, classical influence, it's the entire anthithesis to his argument!
Prog Metal - Complex music structures, long song lengths, softer approach compared to other forms of metal, concept albums, weird sounding riffs, very experimental.
Progressive Thrash Metal - A mix of progressive metal and the very fast aggressive thrash metal style that Metallica and Megadeth Play.
Doom Metal - Haunting melodies, simple song structures, slow drumming, haunting low pitched vocals, depressing lyrical subjects.
Viking Metal - Sounds like black metal with folk metal influences. Lyrics about norse mythology mostly.
Black Metal - Bad production, non-chord, harmonic guitar structure where several guitarists play notes and vary the notes to create an evil sound, fast drumming, very harsh vocals, Evil Satanic Lyrics mostly.
Progressive Black Metal - A hybrid of Prog Metal and Black Metal. Black metal harmonies are used but experimentation means that new harmonies are used a lot more, time changes are quite common, lyrics are NOT satanic like in Normal black metal. Very weird sounding.
All of the above metal subgenres sound very different from eachother! So much for it "sounding all the same!"

2 -My List above disproves this totally.
3 - WTF! Last time I checked, there wasn't a single School shooting triggered by a metal band. This guy is just pulling crap out of his ass now!  Marilyn manson is the only band I know connected to a school shooting and that aint metal! 
4 - Good. Your Savior's religion Supports beating and raping to control the minds of people to become loyal subjects, torture, Child Molestation, Brainwashing ,since that is what it does all of it's history is about condemning people for sins (Crap like You're gonna Burn in Hell for being proud, etc is proof of this. It's just like the military hazing people saying "you're not a soldier, you a pile of shit!" in boot camp. Same premise!) and verbal abuse is normal to them. Hell they invented it!
5 - Satan is fiction. Metal is mostly non satanic and you're an idiot for saying it is!
6 - True, But many metalheads are short-haired like me. IDIOT! 

 "One of lady GAGA's songs has more views than all metal bands in the world.
BAN METAL."

That's because Lady Gaga is pop, artifical music made with a computer that is easy to get into therefore most people like it. Metal is like classical on guitar, it isn't mainstream due to crap like Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, etc.

He states that metal has some "Scary Crime Statistics" related to it. I looked through a google search to find out more. I came across this site. It's a blog article talking about "heavy metal killers". In each of the cases where metal cd's were found in the posession of a murderer, there is always a more likely cause to their crime then "Metal made me do it".   I quote:

"
Name: Jared Lee Loughner
Alleged crime: Fired a 9 mm Glock into a crowd outside a Safeway in Tuczon, Ariz., killing six people and injuring 14 others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).
Date of incident: Jan. 8, 2011
Heavy metal gets fingered: "Loughner's embrace of Bodies -- at least as the backdrop to a favorite video -- strikes a familiarly chilling chord: The Drowning Pool song served as the soundtrack to a double murder in Oakton, where in 2003, then-19-year-old Joshua Cooke cranked the throbbing tune on his headphones, walked out of his bedroom holding a 12-gauge shotgun and killed his parents." – Washington Post
A more likely explanation: Loughner is so mentally ill that a judge has deemed him unfit to stand trial.
Name: Kyle Smith
Alleged crime: Killed his his grandparents, David and Rose Garrick, and then set their Midwest City, Okla. house on fire
Date of incident: March 23, 2011
Heavy metal gets fingered: "Inside the walls of the burned home, investigators seized a demonic drawing, a heavy metal CD with a pentagram, along with a hatchet, a samurai sword, a dagger, knives and two gas cans." – KFOR.com
A more likely explanation: When he pleaded guilty to the crimes in August, Smith told the court he's being treated for bipolar disorder.
Name: Adam Yahiye Gadahn
Alleged crime: He's a senior operative in Al-Qaeda, where his chums call him "Azzam the American."
Date of incident: Gadahn began threatening terrorist attacks on America in 2004.
Heavy metal gets fingered: "As a teenager in Santa Ana, he formed a death metal band called Aphasia. In the early to mid-'90s, he also was a contributing writer to a local Southern California metal zine called Xenocide where he interviewed bands, wrote album reviews and drew artwork." – The Gauntlet
A more likely explanation: Home-schooled and raised a Christian, Gadahn found fundamentalists "apocalyptic" and "paranoid;" the faith left him feeling "empty."
Name: Jeffery Todd Guy
Alleged crime: Shot and killed Scott Maxson at Maxson's home in Billings, Mont.
Date of incident: March 20, 2011
Heavy metal gets fingered: "Guy 'prominently displayed idols and literature on (Satanism)' in his home … (Public Defender Christopher) Abbott argued that the items in Guy's home were associated with Guy's interest in rock music commonly known as 'death metal,' which often uses images of Satan and the occult." -- Billings Gazette
A more likely explanation: During questioning, Guy apparently told police he has "severe mental issues" and blacked out during the crime.
Name: Morne Harmse
Alleged crime: Used a "samurai sword" to kill Jacques Pretorius and attack other classmates and workers at Nic Diederichs Technical High School in Krugersdorp West, South Africa.
Date of incident: Aug. 17, 2008
Heavy metal gets fingered: "'He came here camouflaged as the guy from Slipknot,' (Pierre) Eksteen (who directs a South African student support network) told the Times (in South Africa). 'We know the wrong kind of music and drugs have bad effects. Young people need to be informed of the effects of bad Satanic music.'" – The Guardian (UK)
A more likely explanation: Before the incident, Harmse and friends discussed the ways they would carry out a school massacre. Because totally rational people do that.
Name: Timothy Parlane
Alleged crime: Attacked rival Matthew Hall with two knives, killing him in his Wellington, New Zealand, flat.
Date of incident: Feb. 15, 2011
Heavy metal gets fingered: "A death-metal band member who confessed to the bloodthirsty knife murder of another metaller was a gentle person, his family says – despite his aggressive stage persona." -- The New Zealand Herald
A more likely explanation: Parlane was so suicidal that he stepped in front of a train after confessing his crime to police in early March.
Name: Travis Martel
Alleged crime: Stabbed his girlfriend, Sarah Nicole Rae, to death in his bed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Date of incident: Aug. 3, 2008
Heavy metal gets fingered: "A deleted video file discovered on Martel's cellphone showed her lying on a bed as he slowly focused on the spreading red stab wound on her chest. With heavy-metal music blaring in the background, a voice can be heard muttering from behind the camera of the Sony Ericsson flip phone: 'Good that I said I love you … This sucks. I'll be there soon with you, baby girl.'" -- CBC News
A more likely explanation: Though he told prosecutors the stabbing was an accident, Martel opted to video Rae's death rather than calling 911. Sensible, right?
Name: Protected by authorities
Alleged crime: Killed his father and seriously injured his mother with a kitchen knife at home, south of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK.
Date of incident: March 25, 2008
Heavy metal gets fingered: "In the years before the attack the boy had shown an increased interest in death, Satan, the afterlife and the heavy metal band Slipknot." -- The Telegraph (Australia)
A more likely explanation: A judge in the case said the teen experienced "delusions and disordered patterns of thought, sourced from his underlying psychotic condition."

You have a bunch of psychotic killers here who listened to metal. 1 is a Al-Queda member for gods sake, and this "ban metal" idiot wants to believe metal made him do his crime, and not being part of a terrorist cell? 1 Was inspired by what they incorrectly call "Death Metal", which is what they name Satanic extreme metal. They probably mean BLACK METAL!, because 90% of Death Metal is NOT Satanic.  Slipknot, Drowning Pool, some black metal band, a Death metal written or peformed by the Murderer, Slipknot again and some other misc. metal band are named. Notice a pattern? Fake 'NU-METAL' such as slipknot and Drowning Pool, which is really alternative, is 90% of the bands scapegoated. The others are black metal and death metal bands the murderers were in.  Not once has a power metal, Thrash Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Folk Metal, Prog Metal or Doom Metal band been named in a major case. It's only POPULAR  fake metal, and Indie Metal Bands of killers, which are blamed..... Sounds more likely these people were mentally ill, terrorists or psychopaths. One even was Bipolar, another blacked out during the crime. The idiot "Ban Metal" would ignore this obvious evidence to say Metal was to blame and he is an idiot for bringing this up. Metal does not cause crime!

I personally, HATE Satanic themes in bands lyrics. Not because it's evil. I'm an atheist so that doesn't matter to me. It's the whole "Spread evil religious attacking lyrics to cause a controversy" angle that gets me. Every one of the above Satanic Bands do this in one shape or other, Especially  the non-black metal ones. For years idiots like the person who made the Ban Metal Page on facebook have been whining about 100% of metal being satanic, 100% of metal fans and bands being part of a satanic cult that molests children and similar. Bands like Slayer are taking advantage of this stereotype to sell records. I think more bands should DITCH the satanic image to get these groups to listen when people like me say "WERE NOT SATANIC!". 

People like this piss me off. It's always the Westboro Baptist Church types that attack metal, Notice that? The guy Singles out Black Metal and Slayer like Satanic Bands to attack ALL the music I listed above that is NOT satanic. He insults metalheads right and left, he calls us names, he's an IDIOT.
He calls metal "metal filth", he calls us "Heathens" and the bands that too. He's obviously a religious zealot. I cannot stand these people. What he is doing could be considered hate speech. More on that later.


I suggest people who want to spread this educational message that He's an idiot use this template I set up above to list metal bands by Lyrical theme to prove him wrong. If possible...I won't because people like this are People I like to avoid because they are Religious Zealot Assholes.  But I don't mind and actually encourage the following. Post the following text as comments on his page to debunk his claims.

As for "screaming" which I assume is extreme vocal styles like Death and Black Metal:
34 out of  61 are extreme metal bands. 27 are non-extreme. Even though extreme outnumbers non-extreme It's still really close and saying ALL metal bands are "screamers" is stupid.

Texas head of Probation blames violent games for crimes... Again....

I was browsing gamepolitics.com when I came across this article. Apparently some moron in the inept Texas crime punishment system is blaming violent games and music for crime. What kind of music? Not heavy metal this time, thank god, but rap, which he hits the nail on the head on, to his credit. He is right about that. But then he goes down  to try to say that playing violent games will make you more likely to commit crime and then attacks various popular games (thank god none of them are actually good games)... I quote:

“As the body becomes physiologically accustomed to a little lift from a gateway drug, the person graduates to harder drugs,” Williams said, “I see video games as something where once the thrill of playing a video game is gone, what’s the next step?”

He's basically saying that crime is directly caused by playing violent games. Which is BS, because in the last few years when games were really violent and popular, crime has been dropping.  He is trying to say that gamers become criminals after they get bored of a game. It's preposterous, stupid, and just a plain fucking lie. There is no way violent games will make you want to commit crime after you get bored of them. I have gotten 'bored' of the crappy games I played to death like the ones he mentions, and not once did I want to steal cars for real like I did when I was playing the shitty excuse for a series GTA is. And I don't know where he gets this info. He has no hard evidence to back up his claim whatsoever here, NONE. And here is proof:

"It should be noted that Williams did not cite a single case he had been involved in over the last 28 years where there was a correlation between playing video games and a crime being committed by a juvenile offender."

This is proof that he is pulling BS out of his ass. Like this said there hasn't been a single cited case where he mentions how a juvenile offender played violent games and then committed a crime. He just says there is but can't back it up because he's an anti-gamer asshole.


"Williams also took the time to list the games "kids are playing today" including Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, Postal 2, Postal 3, and Grand Theft Auto V. At least he mentioned two games that teens might actually be playing..."
 
 He then tries to claim kids are playing these games (GTA, Postal 2/3, Call of Duty and Mortal Kombat). Call of duty he is right about. But the others, not so much. The average age of a gamer today as found out by the ESA is 30. 30! Not a kid. The whole idea that kids play violent games and only kids play them is nonsense that I have debunked on a blog post somewhere in a myths post. It's nonsense.

Notice how he singles out those 5 games and tries to claim all violent games lead to crime? Well I did and this is total bullshit. Games like that are a small percentage of violent games. There are tons of idiots in newspaper articles singling out Postal 2 as an example of what "most violent games are like" to attack the EMA vs Brown Decision. This is no different. It's blatant stereotyping. There are many shooters/RPG's/other games that are violent and do NOT push the envelope like GTA or Mortal Kombat does.  GTA and it's ilk make up less than 10% of total violent games ever made. He is simply using his position, like cops do to try to demean the gaming industry by making it look like these 5 crappy games are good examples of "realistic" violent games (when they are not), and then saying all games cause crime. It's Bullshit, Don't believe it. And he's an ass.

Columbine Doom hoax search results and Fake Doom BS

Today, after reading the articles I posted on the Doom Hoaxes, where Doom was blamed for columbine using fake evidence, fabricated in 1999, I decided to write another article about video game related nonsense and how my efforts to debunk such hoaxes have really helped to show how idiotic the doom moral panic was.

The first such hoax "Doom will become reality", supposedly was said on Eric Harris's website but several sites proved that it was fake at the time. But their proof did not get far, because many more sites said this was proof that Doom did in fact cause columbine, all attacking violent video games at the same time. At the time, any and all search results for the phrase lead to sites attacking violent games. My debunking it helped to change that however. Go search for "Doom Will become reality" on google.com and you get this:

My blogs and videos debunking this nonsense are now at the top of the results. Surprise! Saying that the Doom will become reality hoax is just that, over and over again can do wonders to the search results. My stuff has seriously trumped all the anti-gamer nonsense BS sites saying Doom was the cause for the massacre.
But this thing doesn't end here.

Another much more complex hoax involved 3 articles from 3 newspaper saying a modified version of doom was found on Eric Harris's website/or computer. (it differs per source, weirdly). The modified version of doom had begging students saying a certain phrase and many features doom could not do in 1999. At the time searching for some phrase in the articles themselves led to tons of sites all citing the claims like they were a fact. That is still true. But if you google "modified version of doom columbine" you get the most popular article and my debunkings right below it. Not as successful as the last debunking, but close.

Now if you googled the phrase "Doom caused columbine" before I mentioned the phrase over and over again with various articles here, you would get tons of sites saying that Doom did in fact cause columbine. Now this is what you get:

After the wikipedia article, my debunking is right below! I never expected the debunking to get so high in the search results. I expected that some people would read it and then stow it away, and at best I would get mentioned on some gaming forum. I wasn't expecting my results on the Doom will become reality hoax to include my articles first. With all the sites (100's) saying that this hoax is proof doom did cause columbine, you'd expect my post to be much lower, but no.

But before we go, I want to do another Fake Doom BS debunking right here. Not quite as popular in the game attacking sites as the 2 last ones but still mentioned from time to time is the following long paragraph written by Harris himself:

"everyone should be put to a test. an ULTIMATE DOOM test, see who can survive in an environment using only smarts and military skills. put them in a doom world. no authority, no refuge, no BS copout excuses. If you cant figure out the area of a triangle or what "cation" means, you die! if you cant take down a demon w/ a chainsaw or kill a hell prince w/ a shotgun, you die! fucking snotty rich fuckheads [Censored by J.C.Sheriff Office] who rely on others or on sympathy or $ to get them through life should be put to this challenge. plus it would get rid of all the fat, retarded, crippled, stupid, dumb, ignorant, worthless people of this world. no one is worthy of this planet only me and who ever I choose. there is just no respect for anything higher than your fucking boss or parent. everyone should be shot out into space and only the people I saw should be left behind. 4/12/98"

This phrase is clearly talking about doom multi player, not actually putting people in a school shooting situation. Any gamer can see that. But the people who never played video games would see it a different way, because of the way the articles using this against doom quoted it. The "ultimate doom challenge" is clearly just multi player. Not a school shooting. After that he goes into a total psychotic attack against people who are rich and says they should be killed. But this is used to blame doom constantly. How do we debunk this?

We look for other references to doom in his writings. In most of them Doom is mentioned with other things such as war, with no context to what they are actually describing, such as "this will be like doom, ww2, the korean war rolled into one". What is he talking about. You can't tell. There is no way to know, so how to the anti-gamers know this is about the massacre? They don't. They just want others to believe it is.  In all of his writings there is plenty of evidence that Doom was NOT influencing him to commit the massacre.. this following quote proves it:

"someones bound to say "what were they thinking?" when we go NBK or when we were planning it, so this what I am thinking. "I have a goal to destroy as much as possible so I must not be sidetracked by my feelings of sympathy, mercy, or any of that, so I will force myself to believe that everyone is just another monster from Doom like FH or FS or demons, so It's either me or them. I have to turn off my feelings." keep this is mind, I want to burn the world, I want to kill everyone except about 5 people, who I will name later, so If you are reading this you are lucky you escaped my rampage because I wanted to kill you. It will be very tricky getting all of our supplies, explosives, weaponry, ammo, and then hiding it all and then actually planting it all so we can achieve our goal. but if we get busted any time, we start killing then and there, just like Wilks from the AlIENS books, I aint going out without a fight."

Notice how he said he would have to "force himself to believe all students are doom monsters" to turn off his feelings during the massacre? No way is this  something doom did. Look for more references to Doom in the writings I linked and you get one reference to WW2, and one to the doom shotgun, the ultimate doom test and this. That's it.

Speaking of ww2. Why is the obvious fact and motive that Harris was a Nazi fuckhead completely looked over? Do I have to quote the exact quote where he worships hitler/Nazi's. now. But search for it and you will find more info on his obssession with Nazi's. Why was this totally ignored by all the groups that attacked doom? It's all over his writings, Racial Slurs, references to Nazi's, swastika's, plane as day to see. Yet this was totally ignored and Doom was blamed instead? WTF!

In any ordinary mind this would be much more likely motive than being "brainwashed by doom". But people in Colorado started blaming doom right and left till it was mass hysteria.  It got so out of control that even I was threatened by some dickhead on a forum over it (long story).  This is just more proof that the people blaming doom, skipping over his hatred of people/love for Nazi's, are complete idiots. His multiplayer "Ultimate Doom test" was used like the "Doom will become reality hoax" to demonize Doom constantly in  various attack sites, even to this day. It's rediculous.
At least I can try to stop this nonsense, and I think I have been relatively sucessful.

"Offensive Content" nonsense clauses in websites terms of service piss me off!

So for a few years I've been posting music to my soundcloud account, mostly extreme metal I write for two solo artist of mine. As of late, a theme has popped into my lyrics, a not-so-clean theme that I don't normally write about, wanking. But since I am massively pro-wanking(tm) I decided to write 2 songs about it. So I uploaded one, not realizing, that soundcloud's terms of service say you can't do that, your content cannot be sexually explicit.... WTF! Here is the exact text from the terms and services section:

"Representations and Warranties

You hereby represent and warrant to SoundCloud as follows:
(i) Your Content, and each and every part thereof, is an original work by you, or you have obtained all rights, licences, consents and permissions necessary in order to use, and (if and where relevant) to authorise SoundCloud to use, Your Content pursuant to these Terms of Use, including, without limitation, the right to upload, reproduce, store, transmit, distribute, share, publicly display, publicly perform, make available and otherwise communicate to the public Your Content, and each and every part thereof, on, through or via the Website, any and all Services and any Linked Services.
(ii) Your Content and the availability thereof on the Platform does not and will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights, performers’ rights, rights of privacy or publicity, or rights in confidential information.

(v) Your Content does not and will not create any liability on the part of SoundCloud, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns, and their respective employees, agents, directors, officers and/or shareholders.
SoundCloud reserves the right to remove Your Content, suspend or terminate your access to the Platform and/or pursue all legal remedies if we believe that any of Your Content breaches any of the foregoing representations or warranties, or otherwise infringes another person's rights or violates any law, rule or regulation."

Look at part 4 above:

"Your Content, including any comments that you may post on the Website, is not and will not be unlawful, offensive, abusive, libellous, defamatory, obscene, racist, sexually explicit, ethnically or culturally offensive, indecent, will not promote violence, terrorism, or illegal acts, or incite hatred on grounds of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation."

So basically they are not allowing people to upload merely offensive content of any kind. Define offensive? Some lyrics I write might offend the idiots out there? In fact you can say that any content can be offensive, because there will always be someone who will find it offensive.

Notice that it also outlaws "culturally offensive content". WTF! Define culturally offensive. That is a complete subjective statement. Someone can find a song's lyrics about zombies eating babies to be offensive or "culturally offensive". It's stupid, vague and idiotic that that, sexually explicit, obscene and indecent content are not allowed...... They are vague, subjective content definitions that all require the person 'offended' by them to find them offensive for it to be any of those..... Not objective. Is our country and our Internet such a nanny state now that offensive content has to be gotten rid of... For the children? WTF!


Also, what the fuck is the problem with sexually explicit  content? Both youtube and Soundcloud block this stuff and it's completely normal and natural. Yet in this world it's horribly offensive to even mention any kind of sexual content in lyrics. It's like 'all mentions of sex = bad for a children's mind so we need to get rid of it'.  It's stupid.

It's really lucky of me to upload the music lyrics I do which can fit into some of these categories and not be deleted yet. I have had some suspicious problems with my soundcloud accounts in the past so maybe. I wish soundcloud would get rid of the 'offensive','abusive','culturally offensive','obscene',and 'indecent' clauses.  It isn't needed. People offended by lyrics can put them in categories like this to get them taken down and that is NOT the way the Internet should work.

I'm not happy about this. This crap should not be on the Internet at all. Subjective content restrictions need to be Gotten rid of, completely. They don't do anything positive. They just prevent people from being offended. It's like accidentally or purposely offending people is a crime now. It shouldn't be. Guess what folks.... you have the right to be offended. You have no right whatsoever to be shielded from offensive content because that's fucking stupid. End of story.

NSA's new Malware plan must be stopped

So NSA's rediculous power is only going to get worse now. If you thought them collecting info was bad, well, guess again. Now, according to Slashdot, they want to use Malware, probably rootkitted malware to steal info from possible "terrorists", using fake emails spread claiming to be from Facebook and other Social Networking services.  It's bad enough when we have no privacy anymore, but now they want to mess up the security of our computers? What the hell is wrong with them. Do they even know how bad malware is? Certain malware can totally fuck up a system, and that's what they want to do to get their spying data from us.... It's really sick...

I highly recommend that people who don't want their PC's hacked by NSA and others (because others will use the malware the NSA makes against other people, mark my words) should contact their Representatives and complain. It's really important we do this. Send them a message saying how you don't want the government allowing others to utterly destroying people's PC's (because that's what malware does) while the NSA can do the same thing at the same time! Tell them how disgusted you are at the NSA! Show them your anger! Remind them that what NSA is planning to do should be punished with Life in Prison like it would be for any Civilian hacking a PC. But NSA won't pay thay price, will they?

Some hacker nuked my PC 2 years ago and 2 1/2 years before that. I've been a victim of nasty malware, Rootkits, Polymorphic file infecting Viruses that nuke your PC by infecting all programs on your computer, destroying all your date (like Virut), and worse. This shit is already out of control, and the companies that makes pile of shit antivirus products aren't  doing shit against the horrible malware out there, and now the NSA wants to join the hackers in the great job of nuking our PC's for what, for National Security? WTF!

This whole pile of crap idea is NOT for national security. It's for spying on people and accessing their PC to enable them to use that whole framework to enforce laws that are impossible now, like Punishing people for playing violent games (through a tax or prison time even), or listening to mp3 music (getting their info for mass lawsuit filing!, or worse), or to punish people who criticize the government. This crap is NOT needed for National Security! Tell your REP that!

In the mean time, It's really important to Protect your Own PC. An antivirus will do nothing against their malware. It will be a rootkit more than likely and Antivirus products can't even flush out tougher virii or fake antivirus crap now. Instead get the free Program Sandboxie. It sandboxes your browser in a protected area it builds that makes it so that any malware laden email will simply run the malware in the sandbox, doing nothing to your computer. Download it here:

GOP trying to overtax "Violent gaming companies" with the new Tax Reform bill.

So reading gamepolitics got me this article to attack. Basically, the GOP is trying to make it so R&D tax credit does not get given to "Violent Gaming Companies", another ill planned attempt to kill off the industry in 5-10 years, like the Oklahoma Tax Bill that would have made it legal to tax people who stored, played, and otherwise consumed violent games 1% Of all the property they bought in the state, (which would be 100's of dollars per storage, use, etc for me, more for others). Since no one could afford such a tax no one would even buy violent games and the industry would go bankrupt, provided the bill spread to other states like the filthy virus it was. Good thing it was struck down in court.

But the current Tax Reform bill has absolutely nothing to do with tax reform in a positive way when you factor in the future consequences the industry will have. I have no clue how high the current Tax Credit is for R and D for the gaming industry but it must be quite significant. Make it so this tax credit goes out the window and gaming companies will eventually (not right away but eventually) stop even trying to make new engines for their games because they can't afford it. So they use old engines, and since old engines = shit graphics to most of the gaming community, the game will get shitty reviews and won't even sell. Once this happens to 75 percent or more of the industry you have only the big corporations even being able to afford the tax credit and all others use old engines and eventually the new games with the old engines get panned as obsolete and they don't make anymore money off of them, therefore they go out of business because they can't afford to make new engines for their games.

I for one hate this. It's not entirely the GOP's fault, because to me Graphics =/= better game, Gameplay is far more important and so is story. But to modern consolitis infected morons graphics are everything and because of that this whole idea will eventually kill the industry. Someone has to stop this kind of thing now, because I don't see the trend of better graphics = better game changing soon.

Write your representatives and tell them you think this tax is a ludicrous example of censoring an industry that the public thinks put out trash for games (which is the most common example of an opinion on violent games, unfortunately). Tell them the government should not be putting there noses into the gaming industry for a sick minded attempt to kill it off, which is what this really is!

My youtube video goes into this more:

Denverpost.com 1999 death threats and the coverup Revealed.

So I told you in an old post how my anti-video game censorship crusade began. I was brutally threatened by an Internet troll on a denverpost message board after rudely responding to him after he did the same to me after I posted how I hated how denverpost and other news sites were making up utter BS about Doom's fake connection to columbine.  It's a long story but what isn't is there culpability in allowing someone to threaten my life and how nothing has been done about it since.

The troll swore, used sick sexual innuendo, threatened violence AND rape to anyone who said something trying to defend violent games on the forum.  And for 3 months the troll was allowed to do that, threaten to crack my skull in and much worse. The final post involved the troll saying "I have enough evidence to prove gamers get violent" or something like that, something very lawyer like.  It was almost like the troll was a lawyer and was trying to get evidence that gamers are violent through  a warped method of insulting gamers constantly till they eventually would threaten him back and writing down the responses.  I have no proof this troll was a lawyer, except for this and 1 other thing, the persons email address was justicemail.com, email for the law community.

Eventually the site was shut down, the entire forum service actually, and the entire email service was also shut down. The account for justicemail.com that this person used does not exist and this image taken with my web browser proves it.

It seems this whole thing was being covered up. First the post that said "I have enough evidence" was taken down suddenly, no more than 20 minutes later. Then the entire forum service goes down and the email service too? Too weird to be a coincidence to me. But what really proves this is that actual evidence that proves the identity of this troll (probably a fake identity) was found by me recently, and it was taken down too!

For years I have been using reverse email lookups to find the Identity of the troll who threatened me. Almost all of them were scams and the ones that weren't gave me no matches.  I kept looking for more for 12 years or so and until this year I didn't find any clue who this idiot troll was. I tried spokeo.com and It gave me a match to a person in San Diego but nothing else. That was a start... But the more I tried the more I failed to find out more. Dozens of google searches of the email led to nothing, I was hoping to find an account of the troll threatening gamers on some other message board lazy enough to use the same email but no such luck. Until this year. Google searching "kissle@justicemail.com" lead me to this result which I took a screenshot of because I was afraid it would be taken down:

So the troll in question was "Mike Pope" from Thailand? Somehow I think this is a pseudonym because Mike Pope doesn't sound like a name from a person living in Thailand to me. It sounds fake. It's besides the point because this result was taken down by google mysteriously.  Another cover up? I don't know but if you google "kissle@justicemail.com" you don't get this result anymore. It's a coverup, I tell you.

So denverpost allows this loser to threaten my life, threaten to crack my skull open, threaten to "fuck me up the ass" and worse and nothing was done to ban this user, what so ever, no action taken whatsoever. Their scumbags, I tell you! They first publish an article making up nonsense about doom after Columbine saying Eric Harris made a version of Doom to train on that has features Doom Cannot do, then they do this? It pisses me off, that this idiot and the idiots in this fake newspaper get away with this.
