Now -- what are you listening to? V3

With Myrkur and others it's pure misogyny. There are still some toxic metal fans who don't want any women in the scene who really let the side down, since otherwise we're a very inclusive bunch and not prejudice against anyone. 

Myrkur is an easy target because of her past career choices. You'd think they'd instead praise any artist who makes the jump from pop to black metal of all things and maybe they would have if she'd played generic kvlt BM, instead of taking it to atypical places. But even if she had made generic music they'd still focus on her modelling career. 

The late Jill Janus of Huntress was also an easy target for these people. She committed suicide two years ago. She brought this kind of slutty witch persona to her stage presence, so of course arseholes attacked her for it, as well as her past career as a topless DJ. Fan testimony always said that off stage she was down to Earth and a total sweetheart. She had mental health issues which are believed to be what led to her suicide. I always have wondered if the keyboard warriors and their hurtful comments played a role as well. For my money Jill was one of the best heavy metal singers to gain a following in the 2010s and Huntress's debut album remains a favourite modern heavy metal album of mine. 

I think all women in metal bands have probably experienced misogyny at some point in their lives. For musicians it never has anything to do with the music they actually make. As a female fan I have experienced it as well.
