How is that gun worship?
Are you?
It's a motherboard aimed at higher end fps clan play, it's a relevant object on a relevant object.
So I say again, rpg themed system with a sword on it. Offensive?
Cars and drugs on a GTA themed system. Offensive?
I think you're just picking something benign to be upset about in the most safe time in human history. Statistically you were more likely to be murdered in 1950 before the gun worship culture was as prevalent then today. Teach, compassion, life skills and critical thinking, fear mongering over inanimates isn't particularly useful.
Notice that I didn't say it was.
Historically there is and statistically gun violence is lower now than ever before hence no epidemic. It's just what you see most on the news because that's how they hold your attention and make their money.
They'd agree.
How? You don't have to buy it. I'm sure you own some shit other people find offensive, what of it?
A downward trend is still downward, you're making mountains of molehills that are actively being graded back down to level.
Have you also boycotted every game and movie that features guns or is motherboard decorations where you draw the line?
