    If this plastic fiddle-toy dingus is a “concern,” these people are going to shit absolute brick if they see what I’ve got in my desk drawer.

    Seriously, the hand-wringing over something like this is just sheer whacking off by people whose lives are so cushy they don’t actually have anything legitimate to complain about.

      The fact that they find this concerning actually is indicative of a society where weapons aren’t normalized or frequent.

      Yes, being scared by carrot toys is ridiculous. But I’d rather live in that community than the Walmart pistol vending machine one.

        Yeah at first I thought about how I had a toy army knife growing up, then realized that’s a very American toy to have lmao. I do think though that making this a big deal is just adding to its popularity. Kids only think it’s cooler since their parents are freaking out.
