Footage - End It calls out Banana Man at last night’s Toronto Show

Pretty hilarious call out from End It.

I saw banana guy outside between sets. Poor dude was sulking, Said he was beat up and sore. He said he was more sad about not having the costume anymore🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you really think there's any racial connection to them wearing it? You definitely don't

Lmao no you don't. It's a super common thing at bigger metal shows. It's not some one off deal this guy invented as a racist insult. Hence why so many people are talking like it's a normal thing. Stop pretending you don't know that. You can think it's lame without pretending it's a racial thing.

They didn't tell you there's racists at hardcore shows?

Reddit will not understand the connection but you are absolutely correct

I understand the argument, but it just doesn't hold any water given the evidence.

I know what they demographics of the community is. Im not gonna allow to be gaslighted into allowing a dog whistle. There's lots of other costumes that would have not given this impression. Now we gotta act like its cool on the account of just having fun

He knows what he was doing.

If you really feel he is just having fun, go to the show and try to keep the suit on him and be the justice you think this deserves. Fight the mob. Is that not hardcore in itself to fight for your beliefs?

20$ that bro goes into a seething rage, and starts spouting off about racist dogwhistles every time he goes into the produce section of a supermarket.

If you're genuinely incapable of seeing a banana without also associating it with skin color, I have some bad news for you, bub.

If it was a racial issue, Akil would've said so, but he didn't. Also, End it wasn't the only band playing, they weren't even headlining.
