They've pretended to murder every president on stage. It's not a new schtick.
Even William Henry Harrison?!
They got him in less than two fortnights
Especially William Henry Harrison
this sounds fun, cant believe ive never heard of them
They also ~~had~~ have a side project, The X-Cops
Where they sing songs about how evil they are as police officers
Just came out with a new album last year it looks like
Oh they’re fucking sick! You’re supposed to go to a GWAR concert wearing all white cause it’ll be covered in fake blood and cum by the end.
Is that fake blood and fake cum, or fake blood and (real) cum
Yes
They've been doing it for longer than any of the rightwing podcasters who are going complain about it have been alive for god's sake.
prompting critics to accuse them of normalizing violence
Have these people never heard of GWAR until that concert?
One of my favorite memories is getting sprayed with fake blood
It wasn’t clear whether the original critic of the performance was being genuine or just trying to stir up reactions. Shortly after posting, the user changed their X bio to read “GWAR’s biggest fan,” leaving some to wonder if it was a case of rage-bait.
I guess the shitstirrer is acting in bad-faith or did not understand it...
The account that posted the original 'criticism' is called karen @hottakekaren . Pretty sure everyone missed a joke.
Or that. Thank you.
what a relief that regular, constant school massacres are just innocent incidents and don't normalize violence
Same with hatecrimes and all the constant genocidal rhetoric against innocent minorities.
Classic high school move. Bullying the harmless nerd? Fine. The nerd stands up to be much stronger bully? Now suddenly there’s a problem.
The whole world is a fucking cesspool of hypocrisy.
the rationale of the right wing
Or you know, mass murder and starvation
that's too abstract for the kind of person mad about gwar
I wonder if bombing Palestinian children and burning them alive normalizes violence?
Ngl the idea of some 
or 
calling up the manager of fucking GWAR to complain is extremely funny.
Too bad their old frontman isn’t still alive to personally flip them all off and spray fake semen out of an alien dick at them.
It’s fucking GWAR lmao they love this shit
Oh hell yeah we're relitigating every conservative moral panic from the 90s? It's even the same band. I remember my fundamentalist aunt always talking about how Gwar specifically would steal souls
Can we do the one about satanic messages in pokemon next
Also Gwar fucking rules. I adore them. Masters of their craft
They beheaded Netanyahu and killed Biden when I saw them last year. Killer show
slammed the performance as crossing the line
someone just now found out about GWAR.
been a fan since the 90s. suprised they didnt spray fake semen on it from a giant foam monster cock first tbh
they have literally been doing this since the 90s
"Tree of Liberty, Blood of Tyrants Gang" not all they're advertising themselves to be.
Jesus fucking Christ. Every day I become more and more radicalized, I truly thought there would be a limit to stupidity/brazen hypocrisy
How foolish of me
Off topic, anyone hear how Israel recently closed on a deal with Google and YouTube? Sure am thankful HD videos of the IDF blowing people’s heads off doesn’t glorify violence
Riot Fest fired back at the uproar over the Musk stunt video with a biting response on X. They wrote, “I know this is just a rage bait account trying to get clicks, but saying ‘GWAR crossed a major line’ might be the funniest thing I’ve ever read.”
I went to a GWAR concert 20 years ago where I was doused in buckets of fake cum and blood as they pulled a big weird doll apart on a medieval rack while playing Tormentor. It seems about par for the course.
So where was the outrage when the hogs were printing pictures of barfsack ocrumbo looking like the jonkler to use as target practice at the range?
Ahh. The Scumdogs Of The Universe. Good times.
GWAR will SERVE the MASTER, or GWAR WILL DIE.
They're gonna deport GWAR back to space
Seen these guys live multiple times. They're pretty great. Was wondering when their performances would get some lashback. Saddam A Go-Go is pretty great.
"I, at the time, was a communist
Lived on a collective farm
She was a part-time antichrist
Our sex went off like a bomb
Living the life of a terrorist
Just looking for the man Saddam
Who gave me a gun as Iran to the sun"

-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
