I think they're saying why does a band that's called Five Iron Frenzy have a logo that looks like HH (there's probably more but that's what you see in that photo)

I spent a lot of my youth going to ska & punk shows, and there was a lot of skinhead spillover - you'd get stupid nazi oi lunks wearing shirts and back patches for bands with "Iron" and words associated with violence in the name, along with, yup, hh looking rear end logos. Which, you know, was part of the whole nazis ripping off religious symbols shtick. I'm just saying, the name Five Iron Frenzy and logos like that strike a chord with a certain audience. It's cool they're non-sectarian, just that if you didn't know better or hadn't heard their music, you might get the wrong idea. e: iron is associated cuz of iron eagle, iron cross, etc. Lots of really derivative names

even in their christian days their songs were almost all of the variety "hey why are you being a hateful bigot, that sucks, do you think that's how jesus wanted you to act?", to the point where they caused a minor schism in my ultra-evangelical youth group as a kid lmfao

My friend, have you ever seen this video of a man being confronted nearby a BLM protest for wearing a Skrewdriver shirt? It's only kind of related but it warms my heart every time.

Yeah, a lot of goons really struggle with separating what they like from what is unabashedly good and continually seek to merge the two. Sometimes they even get so into it that they tilt at windmills. See recent discussion on how a ska band is a secret Neo-Nazi hate group. The principle is also very selectively applied too. It tends to mostly get applied to the hot left-wing political issues of the day, and it tends to get applied to minor things like watching vs. not watching a TV show. Like for example, posting on this message board or doing drugs are certainly not optimal ways to spend your time to improve society, in fact they are probably somewhat bad for society, but for whatever reason those actions don't bother them.

For better or worse, being a scold to others on the internet is a convenient way to reinforce what side of the discourse you are on. Both to others, and to yourself. There's also nothing at stake in making such judgements, so it's easy to do.

Regarding the band imagery taken as suspiciously fash-adjacent, I'm really surprised to see goons here reacting as incredulous as they are. If the past couple decades have proved anything it's that these people infiltrate everything they can find and plant their little symbols everywhere. Those of us who spend time in specific niche circles and subcultures are no doubt more attuned to the warning signs and trends of these groups specific to those circles. Things which may appear innocent to an outsider, but those who've bumped into one neo-nazi too many knows to take as a possible red flag. poo poo happens constantly, and yes, sometimes a bad feeling or suspicious imagery turns out to be nothing.  But look at this poo poo. As someone who's never heard of FIF, seeing a conservative band set in red and black with what looks like a reject Wolfenstein logo at least gets me wary. And gently caress you, Cool Kids Club Soda is right, I could easily see "HH" not-even-really-hidden in this logo at least as a possibility. Yes, maybe that's seeing something where there's nothing, maybe this instance is genuinely harmless, but that's how this works. Why are people acting like we've all suddenly forgotten what the gently caress a dogwhistle is, or that people even in the same circles haven't pulled this same poo poo many times in the past?
