I'm going to guess because of the gun deaths epidemic.
I'm gunna bet over time a sharp bladed instrument has taken orders of magnitude more lives.
So again, is a sword melee worship and how would that be more or less offensive.
Year 1066 problems just aren't as relevant in today's political and social climate. William of Orange totally would have had a sick sword themed gaming PC though
No one is getting stabbed and there aren't more stabbing deaths worldwide is what you're saying.
Probably not. They were in use for a much longer time, but population sizes and army sizes were much smaller during those times. Also, they are less deadly.
They're still in use and are a larger cause of accidental death as well.
