That is impressive! Sometimes you need a right figure to improve messaging.
Thoughts intrusive, ass protrusive, trans inclusive.

Maybe before, but not these days. They take donations claiming to help abortion rights, but also quietly admit they can’t defend them. https://www.jezebel.com/satanic-temple-abortion-rights-religious-exemption-real-1849073332 https://queersatanic.com/the-satanic-temple-cannot-help-you-get-an-abortion-and-it-does-not-deserve-your-support/
Plus the Temple was sued for harassment of it’s members/advocates. The people were linking publicly accessible info about the Temple’s internal issues and then sued for libel and defamation. https://www.newsweek.com/orgies-harassment-fraud-satanic-temple-rocked-accusations-lawsuit-1644042
Then when Newsweek covered the lawsuit, they themselves were sued for libel, when they literally showed that a lawsuit for telling the truth was being made in courts. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nysdce/1:2022cv01343/575138/27/ https://casetext.com/case/the-satanic-temple-inc-v-newsweek-magazine-llc-12
TL;DR: The Satanic Temple sues you for telling publicly known truths about itself, and then takes money that could go to actual help for abortion rights.
I mean, one is lyrics for a fictional killer, the other is real life spouse abuse. I don’t know about you, but real life events are worse than written words.
John physically abusing his family is way worse than lyrics of an intentionally creepy song.
I like the Beatles, and there’s the obvious clique joke of “John beats his wives, ya know?”
I like a grand total of one Megadeath song, “Hanger 18”. That bad is very troublesome. I feel bad for enjoying it, but I don’t pay for it, so I guess that’s better? But it’s nostalgic for me, and I like the words “Military intelligence, two words combined that can’t make sense.”
I’d have to go through each bands’ wikipedia page, but I think some of the worst things are;
Disagreed on who wrote what, leading to members leaving or the band breaking up
Disagreed on who owns the name, leading to court battles and the band splitting in two
Important members leaving, and while the band is still fun to listen to both new and old songs, its not the same
And of course the dreaded sin of “Why does no one know who I am talking about, they need more fans.” but that’s not really a thing of their own.
Duke: Why the hell do you have to be so critical?
Jay: I’m a critic.
Duke: No, your job is to rate movies on a scale from good to excellent.
Jay: What if I don’t like them?
Duke: That’s what good is for.
Large scale wise, Doctors without Borders, World Health Organization, and the organizations that help fight for/track sex trafficked people to liberate them.
And within the US (I’m sure there’s others, I’m a yank so my understanding of how things in Germany/Canada/China/South Africa go is often poor) there’s the Electric Frontier Foundation, Meals on Wheels, Planned Parenthood, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and a lot more that help most citizens and biological beings get the right to, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that isn’t actually given by any government.
Also Child’s Play and Make a Wish Foundation are pretty good for sick children to get some levity in a harsh childhood. I usually chip in some online donations/sale credits to Child’s Play and EFF so that they have entertainment when stuck in a hospital, and more digital rights for when they get out of it.
