Already (kinda?) happened. A few years ago FB and Apple and Google and all the other major platform companies “nerfed” the gun emoji by reworking its appearance from a drawing of a realistic gun into a drawing of a water gun.

Yet they still sell games where you shoot people and movies depicting horrific graphic violence.

Murder simulators? Yay! Violence on film? Wow, awesome! A drawing of a gun? WOAH HOLD ON WAIT A MINUTE

Makes nothing but sense.
