Holy cow...you guys are still at it? Jeremy, seeing as you grabbed Nina's Manilla Road Comic Book Guy graphic and made it your avatar, is it safe to assume you showed up here specifically to troll her?
See, Nina's GIFs are just proving my point from before. It seems she has tricked us all and she evidently has a penis.

Actually it was sent to me and I found it amusing. Critical I am, but I do know my stuff, and well I suppose metal is what I'm a nerd about.
As for the thread, someone mentioned it to me as well, and I just found it to be a bit amusingl. I don't think it is "trolling" I should try harder, maybe start posting animated gifts like a school girl with stickers. I just asked two simple and fair questions. If an 'entertainer" or band can't handle being questioned about what they themselves said or did, well perhaps they might think of looking into doing something different. That goes for criticism too, remember "there is no crying in baseball" and being a girl doesn't give you a pass.
I find it interesting that we have seen Nina make many posts in the past boasting about being a woman in metal, strong women in metal, slamming on those who objectify themselves, and those who might objectify others, yet she can't see it when she might be doing it herself. Regardless if one is dancing around with their tits out, wearing nothing but underwear, cradling a banana, doing interviews talking about how they look or did, or even simply boasting well I'm a female in metal, it is all ways of using your sexuality to sell and promote. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, I applaud those who will actually embrace it. However she refuses to see the parallels.
I certainly do not fault taking the opportunity to plug the band, but the platform and the topic just makes it all come off badly. Certainly it comes of wrong with a woman who presents this image that musicians should be taken on their musical merit, but on the other hand is saying I did that to look like this so I could be in a band or whatever.
I guess some women, or some people for that matter need that; boyfriend makes me cry, I hate myself, I'll lose weight and look good then have the confidence to sing in a band.
I could have certainly given some probs to fat Nina if she were rockin out onstage. That would have demonstrated that some dudes comments did not fuckin matter and she was already a strong person, but I'm not really a fan of Lifetime adversity stories.
It is interesting that everyone commenting in this thread are men, am I correct?

Nah...this forum is just a sausage fest. All the chicks..err..women (except a few) are on facebook.

We have at least 4 regularly posting ladies, right? Not quite as dire as all that.

I'm not calling it "dire" or anything else. It's just truth in numbers when you compare media stats.

It would be interesting to hear female perspectives. The only one I hear is the one getting ready for work who I'm reading this thread to.

I was just making light of the sausage fest remark.
And OrionSon, that's just Jeremy being Jeremy.
