It's moreso about the general trend that's happening where everything must be sanitized and advertiser-friendly. Like, is it really that far-fetched for an action thriller movie, that contains guns and people using them, to also have a gun on the poster? Do we really need to protect society from that?

Plus, movie posters are art to a number of people. Someone very specifically chose the lighting, the expression, pose, and background to convey a message about the movie. But now it's being censored because "gun scary."

I, for one, don't welcome the bland, homogenized world that corporations are trying to turn everything into.

Nah, it has nothing to do with what you think.

Look at that picture, look at the date of the article, then consider "that thing that happened".

There's something to be said about the culture of needing to find outrage or offense in every little thing, too.

The next movie will have guns. Wake me if the next movie doesn't have guns.
