Until a gun is able to shoot waifu body pillows at me I’m not taking this as a valid argument.
Appropriate regulations would allow the responsible carrying of weapons while stripping people like this of the ability to, well…do that. It would also probably help to normalize the culture in the eyes of the people who speak up against it.
That’d be stupid easy to make, just scale up a t-shirt gun. You’ll have to make it, since companies will likely deem that not commercially viable enough to mass produce outside Japan, but nothing is stopping you from doing it.
Until a Trekkie walks into a school or supermarket and kills a bunch of folks with his cosplay tricorder, it’s not fandom. It’s violent insecurity and idiocy masquerading as bravery.
“drinking” culture, “bicycle” culture, “car” culture. It’s just a way to express society’s attitude towards those in animate object, and how our lives are impacted as a result.

I legit love this idea and am going to start equating these guys with the guys that have those ahegao faces all over their car.
“P…p…pull my trigger, senpai?”
Exactly. It’s a fandom. I love Star Trek, which actually has a moral code attached to it. I wouldn’t call Trekkies a culture.
