Death metal is a highly niche market. It automatically excludes them from 'world renowned' status.
Just because you aren't part of the niche doesn't make it any less significant. Head, ass, pull.

I get the PR issue but come on, he was just screwing around and trying to "be a hard ass" while admitted to his metalhead fans that he plays an online roleplaying game.
His intent wasn't to "gay bash", even if people ended up taking it that way. So much hate in the world, do we have to try so hard to find it?
I don't think we should except gay bashing in any form. It will never be accepted if it is acceptable to hate on it openly in such a vulgar manor. I imagine being young and gay is not the easiest thing in the world as it is without constant put downs like the above video becoming the norm.
What beating heart of self-loathing
must lay thyself bare,
and surrender certitude of a life well-lived
to the acclamation and grant of impulse
gained by acknowledgement?

jezus, obviously you kids have never hung out on darktide....
eff-aye-gee is a subgroup-based insult, so is calling someone a chink, spic, abbo, bog, or Schvartse. (bet half of you don't even know what all of those are) Its a cultural phenomenon older than the pyramids...just because its the 'hot button happy sappy politically correct group' of the day doesn't mean that it means anything more than calling someone a dumb swede. (and yes, you get beat to S*** for being a swede in some places in America)
Crass? yes, world ending hugely important crap? its a pvp-music group at a gaming convention for pities sake.

Back in the day when we were telling Polack jokes, you didn't see a high rate of suicide among the Poles...
I didn't watch the video and while it may have been in bad taste for anyone from the company to do, I couldn't care less about people's undies in a bunch. Political correctness makes people think they have the right to not be offended. This is in direct conflict with what free speech is all about.

I wonder if some people here are truly this obtuse.
Surely someone here has the intelligence to get that it is not so much WHAT was said, but WHO said it.
This is a BUSINESS.
FFS people go full retard at the drop of a hat these days.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Seriously?
So, some guy calls some alliance "homos", and this is worse than trade chat on 150 servers every minute of every day in what way?
