Because Neo-Nazis listening to Neo-Nazi music isn’t the same as people listening to Neo-Nazi music. I’ve listened to songs with suicidal lyrics, I’m not suicidal. I’ve listened to songs about heartbreak, I’m not really that torn up about my relationship right now.
I’m not trying to absolve them I’m trying to shake some sense into the people on an emotional crusade that are supporting doxxing because it’s against people they don’t like. It’s getting exhausting seeing people become increasingly unhinged and justifying it because “well, they’re baddies.”
No. There’s no plausible deniability here. These bands’ whole gimmick is that they’re Nazis. It’s not some catchy tune you randomly heard on the radio. There is nothing subtle about it. It’s racist songs with racist lyrics. You would have to seek it out to listen to this garbage.
Again, a lot of the people listed here are from Japan. I don’t know the lyrics to a lot of Japanese songs but you’re saying everyone from Japan who listens to these are neo-nazis? As in white supremacists? Make this make sense boss.
Also, can we appreciate how desperate and nonsensical that entire argument was?
Okay, lots of them are Japanese. So… what about the ones that aren’t? Why isn’t that person concerned about the one who absolutely understand what it means?
And secondly… it’s still a huge red flag that Japanese customers were going so far out of their way to buy extremely obscure music from racist bands from an overtly Nazi music seller. If an American specifically imported music from a Japanese shop only racists know or care about, covered in Axis power imagery, that’d still point towards being a huge racist.
That user is seriously turning themselves in knots to defend people who buy Nazi music from the Nazi store.
In a country of 124m people that has every subculture you could imagine, I can absolutely guarantee you that there are Japanese nazis. (They were a part of the axis after all.)
Being smart is not a pre-requisite to being a nazi. It’s actually a hindrance.
This might surprise you, but Japan has very close ties with fascism. Ever seen the Japanese flag with the rays coming from the center red sun? That’s the flag of Imperial Japan, a fascist terror that scarred much of Asia. Japan refuses to denounce their war crimes, and there are an unfortunate number of reactionary fascists who use the flag of Imperial Japan as a symbol they support.
I’m absolutely not saying that every Japanese person is a fascist, not even close. I am, however, saying that I’m fairly confident that these particular Japanese fans are aware of the Nazi ideology of the bands they listen to, and listen precisely because of that.
I’ve listened to songs with suicidal lyrics, I’m not suicidal
A song with “suicidal lyrics” is not even remotely comparable to the albums this site sells, which is why they don’t need a dedicated pro-suicide website to sell them on.
Would you rush to defend an album put out by ISIS, that pushed the agenda of ISIS, with all profits going to ISIS?
It’s getting exhausting seeing people become increasingly unhinged and justifying it because “well, they’re baddies.”
Then maybe you should explain your exhaustion to the group responsible for their overwhelming majority of mass shootings, who openly celebrate the killing of black and LGBT+ people, rather than someone you’ve decided isn’t appropriately sad that neo-nazis got exposed for doing a thing they did.

Well I don’t live in Japan so I’m not worried about that. Also, tons of Japanese people speak English.

Okay but… follow the logic thread you’re weaving.
If only neo-nazis listen to neo-nazi music, what is the likilhood that there are bilingual neo-nazi’s living in Japan?
I’d reckon it’s not very high meaning there are probably innocent people who had their shit leaked for no good reason.

You’d reckon wrong.
