It began on Twitter when one fan asked Nails to explain themselves for playing with Human Garbage, referring to them as an “ass backwards band.”
@necrologies @NAILStyranny please explain playing with this ass backwards band

This prompted the following response from Nails.
@bradisonline @necrologies that's one of my favorite current hc bands I don't have to explain shit. Don't come to the show. Peace.

Complaints from fans called Human Garbage misogynistic, citing one particular song called “Guilty Of Being A Man.” The song's chorus features the lyrics: “You can't change the world by hating men, you can't change the world by hating me.”
Nails defended Human Garbage by saying they are not against feminism.
@pastaslut @bradisonline @necrologies I don't agree. I know them dudes personally and they are definitely for women not against them.

@pastaslut @bradisonline @necrologies also not for nothing, I'm friends with feminists they would never use the word “slut” in their handle

Nails also explained that they always pick bands that will perform with them and won't change their minds if fans are against the decision.
I want to share something with y'all before I bounce and listen to reign in blood…
