Allegedly true of country music fans too. That Venn diagram isn’t quite a circle, but it’s close.
Death Metal fans are percieved as incredibly violent, but actually are usually super nice.......unless you give them a reason to get super violent. Then they're super violent.
But after they get done lynching you, they'll stop for coffee and tea and discuss politics and comunity news.
"They're nice when they're not mean." is a pretty bad take.
Personally, the only thing that causes me to go from "nice" to "mean" is intolerance or abuse.
Its not "nice when they aren't mean." It's "nice until they/their community are legitimately threatened."
