I know, I may come across as some lefty, liberal retard who is offended by whatever. I don't care.
I see the worst avatars on other websites, I don't care. I even have seen people havin animated beheading avatars ON OTHER SITES. I don't care.
HERE HOWEVER, I am strangely offended by some people having hand-guns as their avatars. It doesn't fit the profile of this site/forum. I don't want this being one of those "body builder" sites where people post gore threads or sites like LL etc. where 80% of people are outspokenly right,the typical "gun owner" persona.
I have never complained about users here (as far as I remember), but I ask mods here to consider whether hand guns as avatars are really appropriate. For me, it has a strong negative association which I don't consider "optimal", say in engaging with others in debates, like in the P/N forum.
Clarification: I am totally fine if people are gun owners/gun enthusiasts. I just don't want a weapon "shoved in my face", which is sort-of happening when someone has a hand-gun as their avatar.
