hi! I feel like people are glazing james hetfield too much lately so im gonna do a little post of his evils that im aware of!
yes we love james but remember this man is a:
and in general just an incredibly problematic man that deserves to be called out.
one minute video of james being incredibly embarrassingly sexist and misogynistic.
thsres 3 videos of him saying the n-slur, very obvious on stage.
lars has stated himself james is homophobic, tolerant but he dislikes gay people. very obviously in the 90s with his continuous use of faggot and other homophobic slurs aswell as his distaste of lars and kirk joking around.
hes made other comments about women, like after he married in a written interview he stated he's happy he married fran so now she can do the dishes.
hes also been known to enjoy harming women during sex, liking to "slam fuck dumb groupies" as he said in the video. aswell as the slash "itll be fine" story, and overall has made comments showing he thinks of women as objects.
theres allegeds of him not signing autographs for POC in the 80s, aswell and saying slurs related to POC. also his infamous "kung foo" joke about Asian people.
he has made many've jokes about addiction and people passing from addiction
he is a cheater, he is a very selfish man and is not a good man to his family stated by marcella and cali and doesn't defend or prioritise his family over his other relationships. he also missed his sons first birthday for hunting and described fran having their first child as "no different from gutting a deer" wow james how kind.
he was incredibly horrible to jason and has been an bully and bitch to alot of people.
he also just says some incredibly cringey "angsty" comments about random stuff:
hes also stated he would be ok with his music being used for torture lol
he also has used alot of nazi memorabilia, iron crosses on guitars, Hitler salutes, the two lightning bolts on clothes aswell and a Hitler related wolf patch- supporting nazis to buy. he also has owned and used the confederate flags. these things are supposed to be angsty and funny, but hes still done it.
james is a good guitarist and an amazing front man, but we cannot excuse the horrible man he also is and won't ever grow out of he is simply better at hiding it now so. stop treating this man like he's incapable of evil and a god.
