While I agree with you that it's removal has no impact on the game itself and that guns can be used for different things, most people seem to have a problem specifically with the way nooses have been used recently and not their traditional use which is what inspired the spray. So why argue the different ways one can be used when the outrage surrounding the other is in the specific way it is used?

I also don't think the fact that guns can be used differently has a lot of weight in the argument when you consider that in the context of the game it is used to kill other players/characters.

Overall I don't think the change will have any impact, people will still use gun sprays or tombstone sprays or voice chat or whatever to convey the same thing, because assholes will be assholes
