why columbine still have taboo status among the community

nobody I associate with gives a single shit about it. The only people who keep putting this stale bullshit on the table are try-hard edgelords and the perpetually offended.

Tbh removing them from the mirror and not glorifying them was the best thing to do.. at the time anyway, when the wounds were still fresh..

bastards!

he was a person who did a bad thing, his maps give a insight into how his mind worked, his creativity, just like how we preserved his journals to figure out why he did what he did.

Columbine is embarrassing. No one should feel compelled to understand these fucks. They shot a bunch of unarmed kids because they got made fun of. They're douchebags of the highest order. Now Rambo, there's a guy who should be honored more in Doom maps.

Possibly, but it's not like they were dreaming of becoming douchebags since childhood. There must have been some chain of events that made them what they are, and if we examine these events we might figure out how to prevent similar tragedies from happening. Is there something wrong with this logic?

I agree with justince and (shock horror!) joe on this one. Sometimes memfy there just isn’t anything you can learn to prevent shit happening. Some people are just born bad, or without dreams or capability to. Let their works be shunned and have the curious search out their wads and be bored... nothing of value will be lost unlike their victims. The saddest part is as we can see in America how these mass random shootings happen almost daily and nobody blinks anymore, we’ve become numb to it. I put the commonness of these incidents down to gun control or lack thereof, because when it’s a bad egg’s time to crack and they have easy access to weaponry, only bad things can happen. We’ve got bad eggs in Oz too, but with our gun control laws our such incidents can be counted on one hand since the Port Arthur massacre in 94. New Zealand had nothing like this previous to Christchurch and the way NZ PM Jacinta Adern has handled it has been spectacular. Swift introduction of tighter laws as well as not giving the perpetrator the oxygen he desires by refusing to even have his name mentioned in the press. I read this nut’s manifesto after it happened so I can tell this attention depravation must be killing him. When cunts like this realise they will just be wiped from history like nothing happened some may think twice about doing this kind of shit, but there will always be another nutter who just don’t give a fuck.

It's not censored nor forgotten, but if you go onto Doomworld trying to raise this type of discussion clearly you have no idea where the hell you are. About the gun laws, that's the same ignorant shitty defence of them that I've heard a million times and didn't believe the first time I heard it. Like I said, in America you have next to no gun control laws, where you can go into a fucken department store and buy them and check them out alongside your pyjamas and training bra. I've even seen banks there offer firearms as join up promotional tools ffs.

Here in Australia, the bad guys can get guns if they desperately want them of course, same as any country, but usually these same bad guys aren't stupid enough to just go around shooting whatever the fuck they want, whenever they want just for the hell of it. Their sense of self preservation is much greater than that. Our history in the last 25 years since strict gun controls were introduced are proof enough, and if you think strict control gun laws don't work you're ignorant as fuck and I'm assuming American where they don't exist. Another thing, when someone who has no business having a gun here does something stupid with it and gets caught, the hammer comes down from the criminal community just as harsh as from the police because the people who matter in the criminal community don't want their shit being raked over because of a dumb cunt. In America just about any dumb cunt with no prior offence history can walk out of a store with one and nobody is going to be able to predict that something terrible was gonna happen after the fact because they had no prior offence history. It's also easier for bad guys there to get their hands on a gun because they are simply fucken everywhere.

Now doctor, you've been here just a few days and your entire post history is strictly about this shit or how Doomworld mods are big meanies, so do you have anything else to offer or are you just a boring one dimensional cunt?

Exactly.  No one ever talks about personal responsibility whenever gun violence is brought up; it's always somehow the gun's fault that the massacre happened.  How about we get people to raise their children better?  Or look at how the media and other environmental factors might be affecting kids' development?  Or address the rising problem of single-parent households, especially in the black community?  Funny how there is a gun violence epidemic in Chicago, the state with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.  If taking away guns was the answer, Chicago would be gun violence-free.  But it's not, because the people there are being raised in a toxic culture.  They would resort to violence whether guns were present or not.  That's the real issue: the people, not the guns.
