The message isn't what's wrong with this, it's the context. You chose to employ it here, and not the countless other times violence has been used in our world.

The thing I don't understand about TF2 Emporium hate is that it's literally just a community for workshoppers. Of course most workshoppers are gonna be on there. It's like complaining that a lot of scientific articles are submitted to Nature!
