        I’m gunna bet over time a sharp bladed instrument has taken orders of magnitude more lives.

        So again, is a sword melee worship and how would that be more or less offensive.

          Year 1066 problems just aren’t as relevant in today’s political and social climate. William of Orange totally would have had a sick sword themed gaming PC though

            No one is getting stabbed and there aren’t more stabbing deaths worldwide is what you’re saying.

          Probably not. They were in use for a much longer time, but population sizes and army sizes were much smaller during those times. Also, they are less deadly.

      I’m against encouraging the gun worship epidemic that kills tens of thousands a year.

          Did you not look at the picture or you’re just trolling?

            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.

              Gun violence isn’t only about murders.

              There’s no sword violence epidemic.

              Go tell people in third world countries or first Nations that guns have made their life safer than any other time in history and see what they have to say about that.

              And yeah, a drug themed motherboard would be fucking offensive, what an idiotic question!

                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?

                  https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/

                  While 2021 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 14.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 – the highest rate since the early 1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.

                  Highest since the early 1990s, doesn’t sound like it’s lower than ever before to me, right?

                    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?
