Again, I lack a lot of context here. I’m not actively following the RABM scene (much less black metal scene as a whole) beyond using this community and the “sketch band” list that’s doing the rounds as sanity filters. I’m well over bands turning out to be bigoted dipshits at this point.

I guess if I’d been invested in Afsky since he put out his LGBT+ band stickers, I’d have another impression that I might want to preserve. My sense is, like you say, he’s a BM musician — the RABM part seems more peripheral to his actual music and lyrics, and might just be the subscene that picked up on his signaling?

But I don’t know, seeing that attempt at rhetorical sleight of hand doesn’t make me keen on checking out his music.
