Neo-folk is even worse. But all comes with the territory I guess, loads of negative attention from people who don't understand the genre makes it easy to dismiss any criticism from outsiders, which the far right/abusive people love to use as plausible deniability.

Yes, sorry, I forgot that this isn't that common term.
Also note that there is quite a lot of edge and badness in the metal scene, and a lot of this wasn't shunned/no-platformed nor criticized as hard as it should be (metal is not punk), so these bands must have been quite extreme for them to go to these kinds of measures.
This reminds me of a story by somebody I knew who once was a libertarian once told me. He was into heavy metal, as a lot of people I know/knew are, and a libertarian so he was curious about NSBM, so he applied to go to one of those concerts and eventually he got a meeting point where they all gathered, and then they were bussed to the actual location of the concert (which was secret so kafka (our antifascist research group) couldn't identify the location and do something about the fascists. Not many people I know really talk to this guy anymore (he has some 'interesting' opinions on borders now).
Anyway, mostly unrelated to the culty school, I was just reminded of this story of fascists doing reasonably good opsec. (And the failure of me and the metal community at large to not do something about this, can't recall anybody (me included) to react to this enormous red flag in hindsight).

Wait what, don't they normally say 'real life' unless ... they think batman is a documentary?
I do chuckle a bit every time I see the logo. It really looks like an IUD.
I think it is supposed to be a goat.
I could be wrong however, we will just have to wait and see if more pictures show up. They tend to do when somebody builds a Musk shaped golden calf to promote their cryptocurrency.
Not if it is based on that famously bad drawing of musk. Anyway, the way the face seems to look at you constantly and then subtlety doesn't and the weird glossy moistness of the statue makes me think it is AI.
Different cults, one worries about Acausalrobotgods the other about Lord Xenu.
The guy too much into race science even for themotte (eventually, after years, including a pretty horrible 'great post' nomination) got 100k followers on twitter? yikes.
