Anything i say about this is going to make me look like a total and complete asshole, so I gonna bite my tongue and just click elsewhere, knowing full well that Otep will fade away soon enough....
Never listened to them.
I dont think people on blabbermouth rag on them cause she's a chick, cause lots of metal bands LOVE bands with chicks in them. Arch Enemy, Sinister, Epica, Leaves' Eyes, etc. I think that she's trying to create an issue that just isn't there.
I disagree that Otep being female isn't an issue. There's thousands of terrible metal bands, but the Blabbermouth types harp on bands like Otep and the like above any other, simply because they are fronted by females. There's 20308208 bands out there just as bad if not worse than Otep but because they have a beard and look the part, they're never criticized as much. IMO the people that post on Blabbermouth represent everything thats bad about the metal scene. A total cesspool of filth, ignorance and misguided hostility.
That being said I agree Otep is terrible. But so aren't most bands, so I'm not really bothered by it.
Oh my fucking god, I just clicked on that link...
It's like a teenage girl's myspace blogs set to cookie-cutter metal riffs!!!

Then why'd you post a link to an interview with them?
