Someone who lives in Christchurch here Why in the Holy hell does gmod have a small obsession with the shootings?


Eltra_Phoenix

Source community is filled with edge lord and people seeking attention by making or referencing horrible shit to get a rise out of people.


Ios1fStalin

That is true, kinda forgot about that. I still remember seeing someone post about a Ronnie mcnutt player model. Man the source community is wacky


Cazthegamer293

I was the person who posted about that


Ios1fStalin

Wow that's ironic lol, nice to see someone pointing these things out


Eltra_Phoenix

> Wacky That….not a term I would like to use on the general source community. Unhinged and insane would fit better.


Ios1fStalin

Yea, that. The community goes from furries to gays to Nazis to edgelords to normal fellas to nsfw artists


phillillillip

Yeah I still get on Fistful of Frags every now and again and for every ten "gg"s you get one person saying random slurs for no reason and then throw in the occasional person telling you they take it up the ass


buildingduck

there was a guy in the l4d workshop who if i remember correctly wanted to send femboys into an concentration camp

He is working on making a new set of skins for the smg and the shotgun that do not look like that, though he didnt upload it to the workshop so if he can get in contact with the person that put them up they will (hopefully) be taken down.


eold5

Speaking of which, I just finished adding a colored variant of the SMG if anyone is interested. It's currently on [Gamebanana](https://gamebanana.com/mods/490327) (since I don't want it on the workshop quite yet)


Genjios

Nah fuck that. It wasn't intended to be the gun so don't take it down. Don't let reddit of all places tell you to remove it. Have some spine kiddo.


Simple-Career-4041

hes gonna run at gdq soon so if many people on reddit see it as the christchurch shooters gun im sure some people will think of that there as well given the viewership, either way with how hes coloring it actually looks pretty sick on gamebanana hes also going to keep up the white version but have it be an alternative in the same post with this version being the main one https://preview.redd.it/d9nf2578x76d1.png?width=767&format=png&auto=webp&s=c98f8c76f316d6c1c488ba15d3d421cc1985fb08


S1Ndrome_

wow that looks insane


Ios1fStalin

Aha that makes more sense


ExotixFlower

Because game with a pretty much limitless sandbox and workshop will always, without fail, attract the people who think it's funny to joke about tragedies like that Just like how one roblox high school game years ago had a school model based entirely on Columbine


PeasAndParsimony

>references roblox when gmod literally had (and maybe still has) school shooter simulator as a game mode with active servers.


ExotixFlower

Yes, I cross referenced one (technical) sandbox with another, great observation skills


Ios1fStalin

Yea that's true, you're always gonna have those types of people..


Minute-Plant2361

Except he didn’t make the addon with that intent? The guy above you literally gives the context quit spewing nonsense


Puzzleheaded-Emu2022

What shootings? I don’t get it


Ios1fStalin

Christchurch 2019 mosque shootings, here was a literal gmod map about it not too long ago


parmesia

wait what am I out of the loom or something those are based on a school shooting wth


AristoCrata_Prusiano

The Christchurch mosque massacre


SecurityGuardorFed

Idk


TonPeppermint

THAT'S WHAT THE FUCK IT IS?


Genjios

No.


Razatop

The game had and has had an active issue of people role playing world war 2 to be antisemitic for years now and you're suprised by this. The game has always been filled with racist edgy folk. Not everyone falls under that of course but you'll see a lot in public servers.


concerned-resident

Oofio_truufio

i was about to comment on how the customized guns looked cool too, until i saw this post


ilikethewii-u

ohhhh aand here i was thinking these were just meant to be cool hl2 skins what the fuck


TonPeppermint

What the fuck indeed.


Digital_Rocket

Same here, big yikes


bloxminer223

Its not comparable at fucking all. One is white grafitti signatures of speedrunners for the HL2 Shotgun and SMG, the other is unstyilized bland white writing on an AR-15.


BoneNeedle

Because it is just meant to be a cool hl2 skin. This has nothing to do with mass shootings.


ilikethewii-u

tbh part of me hopes this is just a really, really unfortunate coincidence


Simple-Career-4041

it indeed was a really unfortunate coincidence, as the titles of the workshop posts say these are just meant to be versions of the smg and shotgun signed by a bunch of people from the hl2 speedrunning community, the original post was on gamebanana and was ripped and posted onto the workshop, hopefully the creator of this can get in contact with that person and get it taken down, as well as that a new one will be posted onto game banana with some sort of modification to look less like that


SomeIdiotArtist

what really sucks is the mod is actually pretty cool, speedrunners are really talented people so to deck out a gun in their signatures is cool as all. THAT is edgy as shit and redundant on some parts like the grip (also they optic is WAY too far forward)


Cazthegamer293

Yea


pryvisee

Woah. I hope these skins were posted pre-this.


Raging-Badger

They look different on a closer look The G-Mod weapons are signatures from, if the title is accurate, HL speed runners The Christ-Church shooters gun is covered schizo-posting material Hopefully the mod author changes their color scheme


M2rsho

Don't know that guy but can already tell he was a nazi (the nordic symbole with these "winds" at the ends on the left)


bloxminer223

My expression when I see guns with white writing on it O: I guess Far Cry New Dawn referenced the Christ Church shootings.

ScaryChickenNugget

What a surprise....


ConcentrateTight4108

Call me naive but isn't this just how you sign things at weird angles? Maybe that's just the way you would sign a gun? I have a example with the gun from robocop with similar looks [example 1](https://images.app.goo.gl/894H9itq1QNsFGDf6) [example 2](https://images.app.goo.gl/HsEj7yfJuCpb4ZZB9) [example 3](https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/photo/close-up-a-broken-arm-in-a-cast-covered-with-royalty-free-image/518975748) If I'm wrong please let me know


DudeGuyMaleMan

It’s supposed to look like or unintentionally resembles the gun used in the christchurch shooting


Orix1337

it's not, it's just a gun with signatures on it


DudeGuyMaleMan

I did say unintentionally resembles, as in it wasn’t supposed to be interpreted that way


DragAcrobatic5403

I mean I kinda like it, idk though


Sansfan11345

its supposed to look like a gun used by a shooter


Sansfan11345

weird how this reply is upvoted yet the other one is heavily downvoted even though they're the exact same reply. funny how these things happen


bloxminer223

Cause you're literally wrong.


Sansfan11345

there's no way to really tell


cardboardbox25

the maker of the gun said it was a coincidence


Sansfan11345

could be lying


cardboardbox25

or, alternatively, it was a coincidence


Sansfan11345

they are both just as likely


DragAcrobatic5403

I've done some research after this comment and it's truly unfortunate, but is it wrong of me to still think its a cool skin? idk


Imaginary_Ad_1255

No it's not people are just comparing them


NoCoyote4254

Special ed comment


Imaginary_Ad_1255

Its almost like signing weapon textures is a popular trend to do


thenopenoodle15

There are plenty of other artistic ways of having peoples signatures put on a gun that doesn’t scream “ I jerk off to mass shooters”


S1Ndrome_

least delusional redditor


Imaginary_Ad_1255

You mean white text on a black gun suddenly means you like mass shooters?


Imaginary_Ad_1255

Oh wow nice post now you have people actually believing these mods are based off of a mass shooting


jacksonwasd

unfortunately when something looks so similar to another thing people will compare the two


bloxminer223

It is hardly similar. It just has white signatures on it.


JvanReddit

im confused, whats wrong with this? its just some basic weapon skins


PootisPower04

People are saying that it resembles a gun used by a shooter but in actuality it's just a tribute to the HL2 speedrunner community


JvanReddit

ah ok


tyroneoilman

Some people like their weapons more when they have customized appearances.


Sansfan11345

its supposed to look like a gun used by a shooter


tyroneoilman

Oh shit, I did not know that!


throwaway7276789

Because it isn't true. They just look similar because, shocker, when you write words all over a gun it looks like every other gun someone wrote words on.


SkibidiAmbatukam

Literally. I get gmod fans have the average age of 12 but this is just embarrassing


throwaway7276789

I don't blame people for thinking it's based off the Christchurch shooting because the source modding community was/is filled with edgelords who would absolutely do something like that. It just wouldn't be subtle like this. It would be an actual recreation of the gun and would be named the Christchurch gun or some shit. Like right now on the first page of the most popular add-ons this week for Gmod is a Player Model of Judge Holden from blood meridian.


tyroneoilman

Yeah I guess, I think I can make out a csgo pro signature on that, but I still wouldn't use it because it looks very similar.


VaPezizi

No its just signatures of HL2 speedrunnes made into a skin, nothing else. It was made by a speedrun streamer, who requested signatures from old/new runners of the games. It was inspired by the portal community making a portal gun with the same idea.


TubbyFatfrick

What? It's just signed by speedrunners. You act like speedrunning HL2 is a ba- *\*reads comments\** oh... *\*reads further into the comments\** # oh no... Edit: Just checked the workshop page. It's apparently just a bad coincidence... Like, REALLY bad.


dzhakedze92

Imagine accidently making a mod that will attract people who literally idolize the shooter without the intent and someone on reddit making others think you promote the incident


dzhakedze92

The creator said he didn't intend for it to replicate the christchurch and realised it afterwards, Yall just makin up shit now

Imaproshaman

Think? Search? That takes effort! /s


OpulentWolf223

I don't know why everyone is jumping to the Christchurch shooting. It's a weapon signed by speedrunners who speedrun hl2. It's used by speedrunners as a nice little nod to other players while they stream their run


schmidty98

Yeah I agree, I don't feel like these are referencing the shooting at all.


eold5

Hey guys, original creator of the mod here. I thought it would be a cool idea to have my weapons that I use in my half-life 2 speedruns to be signed by past and present speedrunners. This was a huge oversight and im deeply sorry for any false impressions I have made. I'm debating taking it down from gamebanana and starting a new series (one that hopefully doesn't resemble you know what), but given how someone has ripped it and uploaded it to the workshop without my permission, I don't know if that will completely stop the spread. Thank you


_Narde_

These don't even look that familiar. It's just white text all over a gun.


Din_Plug

They don't really even look similar when you look at them side by side. If you feel you really need to differentiate them change the colors of some of the signatures to common sharpie colors.


eold5

That's currently what I'm messing with. Having different colors would also make the weapons signatures more diverse and eye catching. Given how I'm going to be running at GDQ in the near future, oversights such as the one that sparked this post is not something I wish to show off onfront of thousands of people. (Also I appreciate the people comming to defend me, yall rock :D) I'm open for suggestions


LorenzoIsASimp

I think it looks cool to have something signed by someone you look up to. It may not be someone important but i still think its cool


Sansfan11345

its supposed to look like a gun used by a shooter


ArRafidayn

but it isn't supposed to it just looks similar lol


Whispered_Truths

Schizophrenia.


Sansfan11345

oh right i do need to take my meds


WAD2328

I feel like white text on a gun doesn’t automatically make it a mass shooting reference


johnnyramone48

I'm friends with the person who originally created these, and featured me on the shotgun. We were both unaware of the reference said in chat and it's being changed up to a different design, so anyone hoping this wasn't a direct reference to a shooters weapon is correct, it was simply just a way of including new and old runners of the community alike onto some weapons. The feedback is resulting in a reskin as I said earlier since this wasn't the original intentions at all.


BlueShibe

I get the fact that those weapon skin mods resembles the Christchurch shooter's gun, but they're not the same thing. The skin mods don't have exactly the same writings that the shooter had, just some speedrunners signatures and not some nonsense stuff that shooter's gun had. It's like saying that the Japanese flag is really similar to Third Reich flag, or the Spanish flag with N. Macedonian flag, two different concepts basically


un_involvedinpeace

I mean, they look sick and simple, but if we're talking about *this one time* then yes, pretty unfortunate choice of design


gilbeday365

Looks like marker scribbles from dead space


bloxminer223

Wait, why do you guys think this is related to that shooting? It says speedrunner. Its probably a skin with the signatures of numerous speedrunners.


East-Ambassador8310

yeah so im the one who ripped these mods for hl2 Im not a racist, weirdo, neo nazi edgelord or anything like that I shared these addons to the workshop because they looked cool But instead of seeing how cool this tribute to hl2 speedruning is, you realized that this looks like the weapon a shooter used at a church school I had no idea what this resembled until seeing the comments * proof https://preview.redd.it/zfsbckvjje6d1.png?width=804&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb4d74bca3ab3fd0bdad1e3f20409eff1737f2ee

SpaghettiPyro

It resembles bad thing, therefore is bad. Isnt it supposed to be “SPEEDRUNNER-SIGNED?” Like speedrunners put their signature on it?


NippeliFaktaa

oh so its a mass shooting thing. fuck, i hate the internet sometimes...


Frosty_chilly

Or it’s just meant to be names of speed runners scrawled across speed runner friendly guns, since it’s all crammed on like how casts get signatures


burned_piss

What is the context of this? I thought genuinely that it was signed by speedruners


Random_player-14

I don't get it, wtf is that?


OddlyOddLucidDreamer

How common is it to do thi looking at a pic of the guns suppsoesly used in the sjooting, and this, it looks... horrifying itensical beside smaybe having different words People say it' just a coincidence but i *have* to ask, as someone who doesn't know much of guns, how common is it actually sign your guns exactly like this?


Din_Plug

People have been putting text on rifles since the existence of rifles. There was a AR15 that was signed by the entire cast of Predator that is on display somewhere. Also these two skins are signed with pen marks not kindergarten block letters.


Xibit_48

Just for fun I guess?

Orix1337

google what exactly?


Simple-Career-4041

and google can prove individual peoples intentions? i know the person that made the mod, its just meant to be a bunch of signatures from the speedrunning community and it was an unfortunate coincidence that it looks like that, it will be corrected by making 2 new guns and removing these as well as he can but given that he only uploaded it to gamebanana and someone else ripped it and uploaded it to the workshop theres no garauntees that this one will be removed


Sansfan11345

ok cool good for you man but it's kind of hard to see anything else when you look at it


Twins_Venue

RedFlameG

so now just cause american shootings no one in the world can put white words on black weapons got it.


MichaelGMNG

i think this edgelord problem in gmod starts with terry david bc most of the young programmers of today especially in a game so lucrative as this used to watch his batshit edgy videos when they were young and just adopted that kind of mentality and passed it on to other kids in the scene


somerando96322

Alright now I’d think you’re just another dude who hates fun, only if this wasn’t based on a whole ass shooting


ArRafidayn

but it wasn't thats the thing the guns just look similar with the textures


Rat_Smasher

god I hate people who are trying to be edgy and funny by recreating awful events. I remember seeing one where they had a whole player model of brenton tarrant.

Aw god dammit now I have to uninstall those skins cause I never even noticed the reference and merely thought these looked cool-

Not all guns with black and white names of speed-runners are related to that, the only thing more black and white is your thinking.
