Because to the black and white people out there it’s bad that a child can come to any amount of harm no matter how fictional those children may be. It’s a similar trend to the old anti-game movement because these people believe the sort of person who picks up a digital AK47 and clip dumps some NPCs is the sort of person who would do the same in real life and thus shouldn’t be able to in any capacity, as if removing an entirely fake playground stems true homicidal rage and definitely doesn’t point to failed parenting in teaching consequence or genuine mental illness.
Precisely. It’s easy to give oneself the moral high ground when the hill you choose to die on costs significantly less in time, effort and money. Helping real people is far too expensive but if you make yourself sound like a humanitarian by defending fictional people then that’s pretty cost-effective.

Okay but what about people of other races
Take your upvote and get out.
These people also care more about what happens to fictional people than what happens to real people.
They want to restrict access to virtual guns, but actively fight any efforts to restrict access to real ones. It’s so dumb
