Hollywood is the wokest place on Earth, and every other area of social responsibility. They have intimacy coordinators on set to chaperone sex scenes. They hire sensitivity readers to go through and read scripts. Disney stood up to the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d law. Another studio spent $10 million to digitally remove Kevin Spacey from a movie. But when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence, crickets,\u201d Maher said during the Friday night episode of \u201cReal Time with Bill Maher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to his full comments below.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Honestly, I understand what Maher is saying, but I hate blaming movies and video games for gun violence. Personally, it seems like a cop out and an easy excuse to blame.<\/p>\n<p>Think about how many people watch violent movies and play violent video games every year. It\u2019s probably a number that is borderline impossible to calculate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u2018Kill You\u2019: Florida Sheriff Issues Blunt Warning To School Shooters In Awesome Video <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vSVWGbk9vb\">https:\/\/t.co\/vSVWGbk9vb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DailyCaller\/status\/1534101889394122752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet, we don\u2019t see massacres every single day.

That\u2019s just my humble opinion, but that is how I see it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, is Hollywood full of massive hypocrites on guns? Without a doubt.
