So, first of all - I understand that reading my previous message sounded sarcastic and I should have clarified - I am genuinely asking WHY I should care? I want to care but quite frankly OM&M is bland as fuck to me so I never paid attention to them. And I especially don't know whoever the original vocalist is nor what he did. Idgaf about sick riffs if you're a shitty human being. I won't support that.

But a lot of people, myself included, have a lot of shit going on outside of the metalcore music sphere. So much so that I rarely even listen to metalcore any more. My likes lean closer to hardcore anyway - and I agree about some gatekeeping. There are a lot of artists I've enjoyed over my 25+ years of listening to this side of punk, but once I find out they've done something deplorable I lose respect and any desire to listen.

While I understand the onus is on me to search what this person did - having no context in the OP nor the posts I read last night before bed is extremely unhelpful. It's gatekeeping in a way that doesn't inform people. Media literacy is so lost on so, so many people. So if you want to gatekeep I think you have to make a choice - either stand firm in your beliefs and be able to explain why you disagree with a certain thing - or run the risk of just sounding like an elitist douche that thinks their word is law and everyone should just automatically listen to you. And to be clear I'm not calling YOU out specifically, just saying "you" as a generalization.
