Crazy, I’ve been to a couple hundred metal shows and never heard anyone say the N word. No one’s ever threatened to kill me or my family. Never heard anyone going around the crowed telling women to get the fuck back in the kitchen… like the fuck you mean?
Depends on. Some places of the metal community outdo gaming toxicity-wise, especially pre-2010s.

In my experience, the gatekeeping and unhealthy drinking habits are the most toxic aspects of it.
I’m jealous of you, but maybe a lot of it comes from me being older, and some of those toxic elders either got reformed, or left the scene entirely.
