What? You have that the wrong way around. At worst they are about the same in some select places. But there's a HUGE caveat.. Most gun deaths are from people an heroing themselves! (suicide) The data puts the numbers at well over half of all gun deaths. A fact that is conveniently usually left out of all the fear mongering hysteria and ignored by the pushers of such.
Very well put. It's pretty ironic actually.. The people who hyperventilate over such "issues" related to women/minorities, now calling out bullshit like this. When it's all based on the same type of brain dead reasoning in general. That fiction is "serious business" and must be cleansed/feared/controlled for the sake of _____ and society as a whole.
Between this and walmart.. just WTF?!? I thought we were past this bullshit! Was all the work, all the fighting by gamers and the original (true) gaming press, against censorship and bullshit "theories" about media effects, in the 90s and early 00s for literally nothing now? See, this is what happens when you even entertain utterly fallacious and debunked concepts such as fiction/entertainment/media affecting real life, especially in a causative way! (hint: The argument that "fictional _____ can/does cause _____ in real life" isn't bullshit depending on what "_____" is.. It's the concept as a whole that's bullshit!) As long as you give some arguments a pass, you are giving them all one! It's like arguing that you can restrict unpopular/unliked speech yet still have freedom of speech or freedom in general.. It is literally opening pandora's box! Once you open it, no matter how small or for how short, the shit that gets out, stays out, and is incredibly difficult to get back in at the very best!
Also, on a related note.. Welcome to the feel-feels hysterical outrage era.. Please do remember that many people tried to warn you all of the danger. (and usually got tarred and feathered for even suggesting such)
Out of all of the history of the character, they are following one of the worst, most nonsensical (it is a name NOT a title) and embarrassing gimmick attempts of all time....... *facepalm*
