i like ladies, dethklok, and south park so instead of sleeping i wrote about women and satire in mtl. enjoy.

(btw i dont think mtl is a biting, witty commentary on Society, but it doesnt have to be. let the whole world partake in irony. amen.)

the portrayal of women in mtl is misogynistic at worst and tragically unexplored at best. but maybe that in itself is not the big big problem—moreso, i think it fails at delivering satire effectively

first lets just establish that almost all opinions by dethklok are stupid and bonkers etc. like these lads drink bleach for their health ok they are NOT our mentors

so by extension we can assume their treatment of women is not meant to be taken seriously, but not everyone in the audience is gonna get the memo

even tho dethklok’s objectification of women is often played for laughs or to emphasise that theyre spoiled celebs, its made SO much worse by the fact that there are no significant female charas to challenge this.

for example, compare mtl to ‘todd vs the book of pure evil’ (kinda niche but the vibes are similar). while not perfect, it gives substance to the women in the show and makes the irony clearer. its harder to give credibility to something (sexist jokes) if the evidence against it is IN the show, you know?

in mtl there is no jenny or hannah to help distinguish sexism from satire. abigail comes to mind (shes awesome) but she wasnt developed enough for her role in the story to be substantial. if only the show wasnt cancelled…. plus shes from season 4 so)

nowadays the mtl fandom is pretty diverse and #woke, but considering the primary viewer-base (when the show was first airing) was young men, its safe 2 say that hasnt always been the case. a lot of those guys could do with the writersklok treatment..

theres more to touch on about misogyny in the metal genre but this aint the blog 4 that

tldr: at the end of the day, watch tv 4 fun and if u want to develop ur opinion on something probs dont go to Evil McFuckedUpGuy for inspo. @/annoyingguys or wtv

also fanart coming soon

not that it’s a contest or anything but id have to say i feel like the most respectful towards groupies would have to be toki, like yeah he thinks about sex when it comes to girls cause hes a grown ass man but he also gushes about holding hands and looking longingly into their eyes. in writersklok he was kinda the only guy in the recording room who wasn’t objectifying women or wanted sexual favors from them and nothing else, he was just petting a rabbit! and when he is shown with them he’s being super sweet he looks like he waves goodbye and blows kisses the morning after a hookup so cuteness bless his brutal big heart

it’s actually mind blowing that somehow fertilityklok manages to NOT be the most misogynistic episode of metalocalypse it sucks so bad, and yet…(glares at writersklok and goingdownklok)
