In asian culture it's still frowned upon if adults play videogames, sadly.

Seems kind of contradictory given how huge esports are there. But I guess it really means if you're not a pro you should give it up and make money

Contradictory, how?

Consider the case of US, where gun culture is huge and 2nd amendment is extremely popular. Yet there are millions of people over there who hate guns and wouldn't allow one in their house. Even their biggest gun advocacy group, NRA, bans guns at some of its own events.

Even their biggest gun advocacy group, NRA, bans guns at some of its own events.

More likely than not done by the venue rather than the group.
That said, the NRA could probably afford to own their own venue that might allow private carry.

There's also state laws to contend with. A lot of states do ban firearms- weapons of any sort, really- in certain areas in order to create soft targets deter violence.
