Really bad timing making such a joke Respawn Entertainment.

[Evil Midnight Bomber]

Thats a great way to inflate a number. Remove ALL context. No one in the general public thinks a drive by is a "mass shooting". That term is associated with some piece of smegma going into an area and shooting a bunch of innocents.

Much like the "18 school shooting" nonsense. Its done to get a talking point going. Removing context is a pretty dumb thing to do when trying to have an honest debate.

Sure, context is important...but it's god to see raw, unaltered data as well....because as much as some organizations might use that to, as you say, inflate a number...other organizations like to cherry pick from the raw data to try and deflate it the same way.

[Ealyssa]

I dont think it's a joke, just an accurate statement.

[Missed]

Nah, the joke is 18 school shootings this year and the gun nuts only want to talk about their rights.

And mental health!!

[Manabomb]

Are there ever "recent events" that would make it better ? Its just a joke, no point looking for more meaning.

I read a joke comment before. It went something like "I want to be a profession school shooter."

Then it happened. Again.

So you're either a callous piece of garbage or a spiritual-type that believes in some form of reincarnation.

Still doesn't make it a good joke or statement.

[Kikazz]

I get the joke but this was in really poor taste after recent events.

no mention of it about the shootings, its most likely in relation to the ADVERT for a CAREER in GAMING with them, aka THEY SHOOT EACH OTHER IN GAMES.

its an advertisement for there company,

you only see it out of context due to the shooting recently,

FFS dont take things out of context.

You know what's hard to have an honest debate around? Anything involving the fact that this piece of garbage was a white nationalist hose. If he were literally any other race, any other skin color and of any other nationality half the administration and the entire conservative America would have called for immigration control and border locking.

You know what's hard to have a debate around? The fact that the vast majority of these shootings can be conflated down to the mental health of very unstable anglo-conservatives struggling with the faucets of change in an ever evolving world. It even transcends generational gaps as we see here with this piece of garbage as well as with the Las Vegas shooter AND the Orlando shooter.

You know what's so hard to have a debate around? The fact that every single fucking time shit like this happens, apologists like you and other morons come out to deflate the issue like it's okay for one American to have the right to the freedom to end 17 other free Americans lives. They were never free if you're trying to defend those 'rights'. Sitting here and shit posting about not being able to have a proper conversation when you're also conflating context? You're doing nothing more than equating free Americans lives to the rights and freedoms of what is essentially a fucking hobby gone very, very wrong.

I don't know, I tend to think people would take offense with the part "We like to kill each other once in a while. Don't worry."

The tag line at the end is the marketable spin piece of context you're looking for.

Please do go on about how being selfaware enough to drop this advertisement is out of context.

[Revamp Man]

i laughed super hard when i saw that

[Socialhealer]

I Love all the "18 school shootings this year" parroting. With gems like





I really like this one, the details seem to suggest the child bumped the cops gun and it discharged into the floor. Totes a school shooting.

There are some REAL school shootings on the list, IE person goes into school and shoots up the place. A few of em are shots fired OUTSIDE of a school. More media hysteria trying to trump up a story.

Im glad to see you all read the list to see what is being considered a "school shooting". /s

that is a gem a 3rd grader pulled a trigger on a cops gun, holy fuck where is the gun safety? it doesn't matter no-one was injured they could of been why was that even possible?

in that context, no one should post ANYHTING,
as no doubt it will offend someone somewhere....

it was posted just before the event went worldwide on the news in some countrys, they removed it after the fact in good taste,
the Joke was about the COMPANY, being respawn...

cant people realise that they did this in joke of the COMPANIES NAME,

not in joke of the people that died.

fuck me the world is headed to a dark spot if people cant sit back and not get offended by anything and everything.

[Mormolyce]

I get the joke but this was in really poor taste after recent events.

To be fair, when's the US going to get a stretch where it's been enough time since the last mass shooting but not right in the middle of the next one? They're going to wind up holding that joke forever.

[thoxrendar]

It's just stupid and unfunny, not offensive.

Even the guy IN the joke is facepalming at how bad of a joke it is...

[Deleted]

That stunt takes balls tbh. and let's be honest, many people have a matching type of humour.

[s_bushido]

Really tasteless tweet, clearly they realized it seeing how they removed it fast. It was a really dumb move.

Yes, I'm sure that had nothing to do with a bunch of idiots complaining about it.

If fuckwits on the internet want to remove all context from anything someone says just so they can be offended, the only thing companies can do about it is to bow to their fuckwittery if they don't want the PR nightmare to escalate.

And considering the country doesn't seem to care enough to actually try to do anything about these shootings...really...we've got no room to complain about this in the first place.

[Najnaj]

I would assume it is ironic so no, it is not in poor taste.

[Machismo]

Honestly, I think the bad timing makes it actually funny. Of course, I'm into dark humor, and I laugh at tragedy on occasion.

[Nutri]

Cypress Hill made a song named How I Could Kill a Man in 1991.
Such bad timing looking at all the people that got killed afterwards.

[Ryusei]

You're an oversensitive human garbage. People like you are fascist scum who sould be separated from the society.

https://www.massshootingtracker.org/data/2017

427 mass shootings in 2017. 427 mass shootings, 365 days, meaning once per day, and twice per day for two months.

I believe for at least Draynay and myself, we were referencing specifically mass school shootings in 2018

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

It's just stupid and unfunny, not offensive.

i was gonna say, its a pretty weak attempt at an every day lame joke. something a coworker would say to pass the time...

no depth.

[Deleted]

specifically mass school shootings in 2018

I responded to the words that were actually used. I can't decipher some hidden meaning behind what people say when that's not what they're saying. The original comment was very clear, "a mass shooting". That's what I responded to.
