    I’m a stereotypical metalhead, with the all black clothes, long hair, and monster tshirts and I have no problem ordering goofy shit. I’ll get the fruitiest drink they have and down it with my pinky up, no problem.

      But remember. Most stereotypical metalheads know that their masculinity isn’t defined by something like this. I’ve seen metalheads with beards and long hair absolutely slay in skirts and dresses.
      I really love when “the stereotypical metalhead” is pulled out for masculinity comparisons because most I know don’t give a shit about masculinity and just want to be themselves. And I love that.
      If a cute and goofy name of a pancake can make someone insecure for ordering it, then they suffer really huge insecurities.
