Heavy metal is sexist: yay or nay?

Whether it's modern day doesn't affect the validity of the comparison in the slightest. ISIS are, as an organisation, only presently separated from the MO of a group like the KKK, by the scale of their ambitions and their international nature.

You're just blowing smoke man.

'Pleasure Slave' by Manowar

I disagree obviously. The scale of Islamic terror is way beyond anything the KKK ever did. And I fundamentally disagree that white people wouldn't be exempt from criticism and asked to sort out the issue if the KKK ever started doing bad sh*t again.

You're right, the KKK is responsible for far more deaths than any Islamic terrorist organization. They're basically incomparable.

Heh. That's clearly false.

Isis is a media whore, hopefully you know that. The KKK operated in secrecy, but even if the statistics were entirely accurate (which they are obviously not due to both lack of modern data gathering methods/tools and unreported/unenforced murders), it still quite literally outweighs the death count of those scary terrorists.

The KKK is the most sexist heavy metal band IMO.

Boko Haram is admittedly less sexist, but their music is way better in any case.

I didn't limit it to ISIS, but ISIS alone probably trumps the KKK.

Probably = conjecturing to keep from being proven wrong
