Just because a person or group of people are ‘offended’ by something, it doesn’t mean they are right and something is wrong. Leave the posters as they are.
20yrs from now people will be telling you that Bond "never had a gun" and that you are suffering from a Mandela Effect..
“You changed the thing that makes the thing the thing.”
Lobotomizing your past takes away all the memory of the pain suffering and struggling it took to get this far. And then you can no longer point back at your past and say look how far I've come. Because there's no longer a record of it. One of the most important things in your history is gone.
I doubt Amazon's target audience for James Bond are those offended by the character holding a gun
I don't remember Bond ever using a gun. He was just holding a walkie talkie.
Has James Bond ever considered talking to his local member for parliament to solve his problems? Didn't think so.
well if they remove guns we remove spectators by boycotting it ;)
