Remember when these faggots got cucked out of their name by a few gooks and SJWs?

You. Raped. Now.

how is M.I.A edgy? genuinely don't know

You're really getting defensive about this topic my dude. Seriously, who hurt you?

It's literally an acronym for "Missing In Action." It's a play on words because her name is Maya/Matangi. I'm actually a big fan of hers, but she's always had a war focus to a lot of her work because her father was the leader of a minor terrorist group during the Sri Lankan civil war.

How is an Asian band calling themselves the slants edgy? If anything that's just tongue in cheek self-awareness.

Keep repeating yourself and projecting. Who hurt YOU? Why does what I said make you feel so insecure?

It's edgy towards her own cultures, not towards US cultures

>defending against American imperialism
>bad

idk who that would offend though

It's edgy and tongue in cheek. It's a play on the racist phrase "slanty eyes." They're actually a neat band. I think it's kind of weird that you describe it as "self-aware," though.

did Andrew Jackson Jihad change their name because they're söyböys of the highest order and "jihad" is islamophobic and problematic or because having JIHAD right in your bandname made people not want to book them, search engines fuck up and whatnot?

>How is an Asian band calling themselves the slants edgy?

They're adopting obviously racist imagery as their music group's identity. You can spin it as cheeky, but it's still a racially provocative name.

LOOOOOL relax my dude. nobody's here to hurt you.

I don't think it would offend anyone. But I also don't see why naming yourself after a Vietnamese militant group would be offensive. If you worry that it would offend people who were affected by the Viet Cong, then you could use that same logic to say MIA could be offensive to people who were Missing In Action, which would be ridiculous, but so would being offended by Viet Cong.

> I think it's kind of weird that you describe it as "self-aware," though.

Asian band calling themselves The Slant. What's not self-aware about that?

That's moronic. You were molested as a child, weren't you?

Arab nations where armed military combat is a sensitive subject and everyday occurrence. Throwing someone's status as being "missing in action" in such armed conflicts can be seen as insensitive in their own cultures, where women aren't even allowed to drive. Now, not only is MIA driving, she's using their wars as her own artistic identity.

If you still don't get it, then you're being dense or you're virtue singaling that "ha, well I'm so unphased that I couldn't even imagine that being offensive!" which really is bragging towards nobody.

They're Asian and calling themselves The Slant. That's in the same vain as blacks calling themselves nigga. Who the fuck is that offending?

>What's not self-aware about that?

It's only self-aware in so far that they're aware that it's a racist term used towards their racial group. There's nothing else behind it for them to be aware of, it's just Asian people describing themselves in a way that's racist towards Asian people. So what? Where's the clever self-aware trick in that?

>That's moronic. You were molested as a child, weren't you?

Now you're just projecting. Who's molesting you my guy?

Wow. You're stupid as fuck.

iirc a few white SJW journalists found random Vietnamese survivors of the Vietnam war and had them tell the band their bad times during the war, and then used that to convince the band to change their name

none of the stories even pertained to the Viet Cong, it was a big joke

Wow, you're actually braindead.

Still projecting, you sad, sad little man.

Seriously though, who hurt you?

You, with your stupid comments.

You're a fucking retard. I'm not even right wing. I thought the thing about white bands using edgy names was stupid, so I listed some edgy names by other ethnicities. Why did that set you off so badly? You're so insecure and stupid that you can't handle any criticism whatsoever? You literally have an 80 IQ. I'm even against racism, and I'm a big fan of three of the bands I listed (The Slants, Nailbomb, and M.I.A. - I'd probably like Gravediggaz if I ever got around to listening to them).

You're an emotional child, and you have an ~80 IQ.

>Nailbomb
>Latino

Max Cavalera's latino. I don't know that many Latin bands.

Max Cavalera is still white though. Also Nailbomb is a collab between Alex Newport and Max.

I know it's a collab. White people can be considered Latino. I just looked it up, and it looks like Max's father was Italian, but it seems like his mother is a true Brazilian, given that her name Vania is a common Brazilian name.

When did this board become this cucky? Must be over the last year? Are Zoomers really this indoctrinated into this bullshit?

No. This board has always been more left wing, but I think it's just one or two retards ITT that are really cucked and sensitive, and not representative of the board as a whole. I could be mistaken

Yeah you can be white and latino. For some reason lots of Americans find this very difficult to understand. I've seen interviews where Max calls himself white, Can't remember which ones though. Might have been Andreas Kisser also though.

There's a difference between being left wing and being this sensitive cucky "ew incel" type shit i've seen so often recently.

>band says theyre gonna change it and theyre sorry
>bitch keeps going on at him about 'educating yourself'

the look of contempt on his face in this interview is funny

those american viets are the cucked ones

women are the worst
haha you get it?

I'm actually really impressed with how the band handled this

Um sweaty you have a platform to spend every waking minute of your life appeasing PoC demands, if you do anything else you're basically Hitler

actually it was pretty fucking cool. it was a name that stood for the resistance against the imperial americans waging a war that they shouldn't have started.

>YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FEELS LIEK LIPSERVICE THO
>ECONOMICALLY PROFIT

WOOOOW,FUCK THOSE LOOSE FUCKING CHINKS, i would of spat in their fucking faces and not change the name, seriously fuck these people

seriously who the fuck listens to chinkies? there's like 2 billion of them and yet they're all expendable.

but I thought Vietcong were the good guys

ya if u a commie pinko fag

the people who complain about the name were actually commies

their first album was pretty great

This is the best post in the thread. The music they made was trash, but the name itself was good and they completely undermined themselves by changing it.
>b-but they just chose it because it sounded cool! they didn't understand anything about the viet cong!
See also: Joy Division, Gang of Four, New Order, Misson of Burma. None of these bands understood shit about politics. The names caught your attention and some of them, by chance, made good music.

i don't even know man

This is what happens when affluent hipsters attempt politics. They either don't have the courage of their convictions, or the convictions didn't actually exist in the first place. Absolutely pathetic. Music was trash, too.

Stopped listening to them after that whole debacle. Fuck them.
Why is it perfectly fine for music/films/games to involve violence/murder, theft, and terminal illness, but as soon anything possibly racially charged is involved everyone freaks out? Why is it okay to offend victims or relatives of victims of these things, but it's completely verboten to even come close to offending someone whose skin isn't white?

>Arguing over something as trivial as a band name

I swear y'all niggas cry over anything.

viet cong is offensive! i am a 3rd generation vietnam person and it is offensive to me because my family was on the opposing side!

Imagine if they changed name with Khmer Rouge
