I don't think you're weird at all for liking Metal Family. I love it sooo much! I seriously can't wait for it to be updated

*rolls around on the ground* I RAMBLED OOPSIES

Ok so, metal family..(it's been like...more then a year since my last post it's overdue)

I don't hate metal family. I loved it, I loved my time in the fandom. I don't think anyone is weird for liking it (unless you're one of those incesty fans...then you're weird). I have many mutuals who love the show and I love all of my mutals.

Hell I used to be a metal family blog

Point is, I loved the show and no one is weird for liking it

BUUUUUUT

I'm probably never gonna touch that show again

I KINDA FUCKED UP THAT

If you don't know about that video I don't blame you (it's like a year old I'm probably the only one who thinks about it) it's...fairly simple. It's Vicky riding her motorcycle, acknowledging other riders. Most notably she salutes to a bike with the confederate flag.

That, that one gesture...kinda ruined metal family for me. I had mutuals leave the fandom and ditch the show (unclear if they rejoined, I stopped keeping tabs on them once I left the fandom (srry)), I had mutuals take a break from the show, I saw mutuals go through a Rollercoaster of shit because metal family was their show, that was their comfort and they LOVED metal family.

I felt honestly really guilty about all of that (seeing your first mutual delete all their posts and go radio silence for a while will do that😮‍💨), it was just kinda stressful and not...really that good for me (tho thats not saying much, I'm a teenager, everything is stressful and bad)

The entire issue with that video is that...it's really a murky issue. Mf is a Russian show, the creators are Russian. The culture in the show and the fact the the creators are not American makes the gesture just...confusing. it brings up a good discussion of holding a creator accountable for something like that when it's possible the creators didn't know what the flag meant and that the confederacy was strictly an American thing and as mentioned the creators aren't American.

It's just brings up a good discussion and honestly I'm rambling to an empty room so...

Thank you anon for the ask 😁 I did ruin the mood so I'm sorry for that. I think I've said everything I wanted to say both back then and now. My peace is made with the show.
