That thing when you realise you followed someone who once sexually harassed you because you showed concern. It sucks that it's so hard to keep on top of this stuff.

Just watching Metal Lords, and I think you'll find that actuallllly the RATM song is called "Killing in the Name", not "Killing in the Name of".
