    No, the issue is that metal has a lot of iconography which outright attracts Nazis and the like (e.g. heavy use of crosses, mentions of war and sometimes glorification of ancestry, viking culture, classically western icons like medieval knights and the Crusades, etc).

    We have to push really hard against their co-opting of our symbols if we don’t want “Skinheads: Metalic Boogaloo” to become a thing.
