The story is from 2006, but while Deus Vult'ing on the Internet, I recalled this story.


The bands response was pretty (y)

"We are very disappointed that we can’t play to our fans in the Middle East. We are not and never have been a racist band. The lyrics of the song 'Crusader' have been taken totally out of context. Many of the songs we write are based on historical events e.g. 'Dallas 1 PM' (Kennedy's assassination), 'Conquistador' (The Conquest of South America), 'Crusader' (The 12th Century) — the songs are not intended to be taken as any form of propaganda, the song is a snapshot of an event in history, the lyrics are intended to give a flavour of what it must have been like in the army at the time. Saladin, the leader of the Saracens, was also a mighty warrior and his battles would make a good vehicle for a great metal song as well. The journalist who wrote about 'Crusader' was obviously trying to cause as much trouble as possible. We don't write lyrics to inside hatred or racism, we have fans all over the world of every colour and religion and music should be used to break down barriers and not to build them."

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Update on Vic's delayed transcripts. Get it here. Lemoine is getting ganged up on due to his obsession with Nick and the GFM.

Can you give us the highlights?
I don't have access to the computer but if you look further in the farms Chupp is having none of Lemoine's antics everytime he brings up the GFM and Nick while charging his client wasteful legal fees and questioning his legal ability.

Martinez another lawyer joined this case because he has a bone to pick with him so he's also dunking on him in the transcripts.

And 700 or so fans were seeing Vic recently too.

How many did the Kickvic VAs get?

I hear one of the most batshit insane one was too crazy for that company that does persona she had to go Amanda Win Lee.

Say, to begin with, did much of Funimation have jealousy problems in regards to Vic that were exarcerbated by seeing how different he was from the usual cliques you find in entertainment?

Probably. This guy had a decent background being a former LEO.

Then the fans coming to him and not his fellow VAs is cause for jealousy.

What’s a LEO?

TBF, the guy does look handsome and touchiness and weird religious faith aside, I think I heard the guy is pretty nice and normal when it comes to interacting with them

Whereas I’ve got to bet that the types that go very publically SJW in the industries, even before the 2010s have some issues with interaction

Speaking of cancel culture... looks like Louis CK might be starting a new comedy tour in March.


Keep in mind the allegations came out around November of 2017... and he didn't do a stand up routine until August of 2018 and apparently a small army of snowflake stenographers showed up to derail his comeback because he dared make jokes about school shootings and Judd Apatow of all people was hating on him on Twitter... on behalf of the CHILDREN!

But anyways... he's been disappeared for over a year now... we'll see if he's still cancelled or considered an "alt right" comedian or other nonsense.

If any of you have the time, Jim Norton actually confronted Judd Apatow about him kind of transgressing the comedian etiquette of hating on another comedian and their routine on his podcast back in January 2019. Judd of course said that he's confident that Louis CK will be back in a year or so IIRC. :cautious:
