I don't think so. Mods have a sensitivity crisis, they don't like it when people praise Luigi and feel CEOs should get theirs. Or that is considered "ADVOCATING VIOLENCE!!111" because I guess it's okay for CEOs to play god and fuck with everyone's lives on a regular basis but we can't cheer for them to get shot.
