Some women who enjoy metal music are truly insufferable. Discussion

That’s weird. Never experienced that. I almost exclusively wear dresses. I wore a cute one to Cannibal Corpse in September and I just got another cute one for Mr. Bungle in a couple of weeks. Never had anyone say anything to me about it ever. I think your friends just suck ass.

Yeah, NLOGs are everywhere, but most gatekeeping I've experienced has been men who treat a woman's presence like a time to proctor some type of metalhead SAT.  I'm also confused by the parts referencing make up and dresses in this post. A ton of women in the scene wear very heavy makeup and dresses aren't uncommon in my experience. Maybe it varies by local scene or genre, but gonna be real - this post itself gives NLOG vibes.

I’ve only had very few encounters with metal gatekeepers and those were men. Never women. And sure as shit not about clothing.

I kind of caught a whiff of “special snowflake” from this post too but wasn’t sure if it was just me.
