>>11210349>its baffling how America of all places is somehow the oppositeThat's just hollywood though. The directors and actors get the limelight, while everyone else is ignored by the media.
Everyone else loves guns.
I mean, go look at how anti-war the US was in the 00s. Tons and tons of people were protesting almost everyday for over a decade. Obama ran for president to get us out of Iraq/Afghanistan and other wars. He WON on that platform (despite never actually realizing it). Yet the 00s was huge for war video games. Tons and tons of those, including Call of Duty. All of them featuring real guns.
Despite most soccermoms being anti-war, some of the biggest toylines of the 00s were all war stuff. There were multiple real war vehicles and soldier toylines back then. Unimax. 21st Century.
GI Joe became the biggest it had been since the 80s, running for over over a decade and only got killed because the second movie got delayed. That fucked over the toy line, because retailers already had stock ready to sell two months before the movie was supposed to release.
I think you're ignoring a ton of gun fans, just because of a vocal few. I think it's only recent that we learned about few video game developers who hate guns, but that obviously wasn't a thing before, considering how prominent gun shit was before and how stuff like CoD has insane amount of customization for their gun.
