See, here's the very important point I think you're missing: It's not the SJW complaints you have to worry about. SJW complaints come first, because they spent more time on the Internet and therefore notice it first, but they also tend not to extend beyond telling other Internet people that what they're doing is wrong. Once it goes past that and leaks out of the Internet and into the real world, it's the pearl-clutchers you've got to worry about, and the pearl-clutchers have a currently-elected government that's demonstrated on many occasions that it's willing to pass laws that appeal to their version of morality. We've already seen Trump himself suggest that violent video games might be to blame for the epidemic of mass shootings. Do you really want them having more ammunition?
No, I want their ammo to be useless. Tho you do have a point... still, Everything comes down to if Valve will back down on that or not, because if they don't, even those people will notice it's pointless to make a fuss over it and will give their attention to something else... I think... hopefully...
