Burzum vs "Sisters gegen Nazis"
Posted: 30 Sep 2011, 18:00
Not to sound like an overly politically correct tool, but am I really the only one that is highly irritated by a user nick like "Burzum" on heartland?
Not just political beliefs either - what about someone like Gary Glitter? Should people stop listening to his records because of his crimes? We know what Eldo's answer to this is because he went and covered one of his songs to show that despite what happened, it doesn't stop some of the songs from being bloody good Rock n' Roll songs.ribbons69 wrote:It certainly doesn't bother me,it's the old question though,should you not like certain music just because of the political beliefs of the retards that make it?
take a chill pill! our user names are what we make of them. if a user doesn't obey by the heartland rules then worry your little head.dummkopf wrote:Not to sound like an overly politically correct tool, but am I really the only one that is highly irritated by a user nick like "Burzum" on heartland?
and you might think my username as MadameButterfly promotes...dummkopf wrote:For all it's worth, I wasn't questioning let alone attacking the person behind the nick. I was asking what the general take is on promoting artists who's sole artistic drive is to spread racially motivated hate. In my book, picking a certain nick equals 'promoting'. Ever since my introduction to TSOM I perceived the band and their audience to be rather left leaning, so I was surprised to see the choice of said nick go uncommented. Fair enough if that makes me the 'bad guy'.
Oh dear,I find myself agreeing with,and wholeheartedly supporting one of James posts.James Blast wrote:Get Bent! dummkopf
Burzum has put an awful lot more into this forum than you have with your 'eletist trading' moves. Anyhoo Burzum is just some mental Swedish/Nordick black metal band in my books.
If you really want to join in here, be a bit more open and forthcoming.
Thanks for this explanation, dummkopf. That makes your idea more understandable.dummkopf wrote:For all it's worth, I wasn't questioning let alone attacking the person behind the nick.

It is a statement, just like adopting the number 88 for a user account name.

That's why I carefully phrased it 'a certain nick' as opposed to a 'random' one. Of course there is not necessarily a political implication in picking let's say "birth88" for a nick. "Combat88" on the other side, and I am putting it mildly, at least has enough potential to earn you a raised eye brow. As far as "Burzum" goes, Varg Vikernes musical outlet is widely considered to be the spearhead of the "National Socialist Black Metal" 'movement'. Even though, if we were to split hairs, it's technically an incorrect perception, as none of his lyrics deal with subject matters of racism or antisemitism. He instrumentalizes his interviews for that. Different strategy, same ballgame. Would anyone have ever cared about his music if it weren't for all the 'sidegimmickery'? IMHO, the answer is no. And that's why mainstream cultures adaption and/or tolerance of crap like Burzum annoys me. I can't even go to a single DIY show with a 'heavy' band on the bill without someone showing up in a Burzum shirt. Coming from a punk rock background, I might be a bit overly sensitive in that respect. However, s**t is just wrong.Being645 wrote:Thanks for this explanation, dummkopf.

Anyway, the numerology thing is something the Nazis have dared to avail themselves of as well.
What with any users born in 1988. Should they be denied chosing a username like birth88? Come on... ...
